Hi all,

You helped me in the previous topics so I hope this time you can help me too.

I have problem with Gigabyte GTX 960. Тhe card has power for gpu , power for memory and other ones (3,3 , 5). I checked shorts but not present.
When I received card I replace two 0ohm resistors to bios chips. They were broken.

Now when I try to turn on PC I can see 2b code on the POST card and it freeze. The power is still present.

I think that it have to be something with bioses, however I reflashed them and it didn't help.
What could broke those 0ohm resistors? What should I check?

ThePCB looks like this:

Here is the place where are 0ohm

Last question, which component is responsible for switching bioses?
Is this one marked as U20?

check voltage this cirсuit

Voltages looks good around bioses (1,3,6,7,8 = 3.2V). I noticed there is 3,2V instead of 3,3V but I think that it doesn't matter.

Hi, again.

, I didn't see your picture that is why I don't check it like you wish. Now I Checked it there are 3,3V everywhere.

I have ran this card on my second PC where I have graphics on my motherboard. What is more the "Device Manager" see this card. Unfortunately, there is an error 43 .
Sprawdziłem także tę kartę za pomocą GPU-Z i jest wersja BIOS-u - niezdefiniowana i pamięć wynosi 0 GB. Załączam ekran drukowania GPU-z.

I tired to use nvflash to update bios but I have errors.

Hi. Shorts are not present, but what about resistanses?

Resistances look ok.


This card has dual bios. I have CH341A programmer. I have downloaded bios from this site: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/178 ... 096-150701 and write it to both chips.
I havent got oryginal bios unfortunately. Is this procedure ok or I have to do something else?
Maybe have you got another bioses for 4GB card?

Hi again,

I don't know how but I made a mistake. There are missing 3,3V on the 6th leg of bios chip. It is SCLK (serial clock input).
I have tried to add 3.3v from external source and the PC starts but without screen.

Can it be a GPU faulty?

Update: I took off GPU, and the power is back. However I'm still not sure is it GPU faulty. Is someone can confirm?
