Hey, i think my Sapphire HD 7870 GHZ Edition Dual-x has died. Whenever i install driver for it PC would crash after restart( gives black screen after Windows 7 logo) Unfortunately i don't have the chance to test it in another PC. Anyway, as a last resort i decided to flash/update my GPU VBIOS. I know if something goes wrong i can for sure brick my GPU, but what i want to know is : can i damage/kill other components of the PC if GPU becomes bricked? What are risks other than bricking my GPU for ever?
Note: I have Intel Integrated graphics. I Contacted Sapphire support directly and asked them to provide latest VBIOS for my GPU.I know Techpowerup has vbios collection, but i don't want to risk and get wrong bios ( i got 2 final results with same everything, except for clocks, so i don't know which one is for me)
All i care is well being of my system , i don't want to risk their safety because of GPU BIOS flash, i will get new GPU and RAM soon, so i want my PC components to work. Am i worrying for nothing?
