Then after that, you must go to this site to get proper instructions Easy NVFlash Guide with Pictures for GTX 970/980 It's pretty simple and straightforward 2 step process. Just make sure your children and pets, power outtages aren't coming any time soon so u can hurry up and flash it! Takes approx 30 seconds to complete or less. Another note, Actually, for my STeelseries Mouse that had issues the answer was also in the reddit forums as well. The support it seems in general is far better there than the official techs ! Cheers, hope this helps

Just make sure your children and pets, power outtages aren't coming any time soon so u can hurry up and flash it! Click to expand... Actually, it was almost 25 years ago when we were flashing the boss' computer and lost power. While corrupt updates were pretty rare even back then, it was not uncommon for a corrupt BIOS update to brick the motherboard, which it did. It was that event that finally got me the funding I had been asking for to get all our "mission essential" systems on a "good" UPS with AVR (automatic voltage regulation). I have been stressing the need for EVERY computer to be on a "good" UPS with AVR ever since.
