Bios save error?

Nvidia Cards
#1

Download bios gives error. So, I decided to update everything to fix the problem.

I put the rig to Maintenance mode with loading driver option.
I use the “hive-replace -y -s” code to install the latest stable HiveOS.
I use the “selfupgrade” code to update the HiveOS.
Everything perfect. No error.
But I cannot download the original bios from the GPU.
What should I to fix the problem ?

There 6 GPU in this rig. 3 of them are EVGA. I can download their bios.
But I cannot download Asus & Gigabyte. Am I missing something ?

If you boot with only the asus 3080 installed are you able to download the bios?

#5

The same thing happened again.

is there any bug ?
It s not related to the mobo, ram, disc, cpu.
What do you advise ?

Could be some odd bug, maybe try some older versions, https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-nvflash/

NVIDIA NVFlash 5.814.0 for windows works. I downloaded the bios. Maybe linux version has a bug.

#8

I cant flash some NVIDIA graphic cards. I saw my earlier post here. The same problem :slight_smile:
So I realised something. HiveOs uses NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.792.0)
How to update it to NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility (Version 5.814.0) for HiveOS ?
