Hi @KacperA1
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If you're experiencing issues with your RTX 2060 graphics card and suspect the BIOS may have crashed, it’s important to approach the flashing of the BIOS carefully. Flashing a new BIOS is a sensitive process, as any errors can render the card unusable. Here’s how to find and flash the BIOS for your RTX 2060:
1. Identify Your Graphics Card Manufacturer
First, you need to know the exact model and manufacturer of your RTX 2060 (e.g., NVIDIA, EVGA, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, etc.) because different manufacturers may have slightly different BIOS files for the same GPU model.
- Check your graphics card brand and model:
- If you have a custom-brand card (like EVGA, ASUS, or MSI), it's best to visit the manufacturer’s website for your specific card to get the right BIOS version.
- You can also use a tool like GPU-Z to get detailed information about your GPU.
2. Find the Latest BIOS Version for Your RTX 2060
The BIOS for your RTX 2060 is typically provided by your GPU's manufacturer, not NVIDIA directly. Here's how you can find it:
- Go to the manufacturer’s support page:
- For example, if your card is from EVGA, go to the EVGA Support Page.
- If it’s from ASUS, go to the ASUS Support Page.
- If it’s from MSI, go to the MSI Support Page.
- Search for your graphics card model (RTX 2060) in the search bar or on the support page.
- Look for BIOS downloads in the drivers and support section for your specific model. They might be labeled as "VBIOS", "Firmware", or "BIOS".
3. Download the Correct BIOS
Make sure you download the correct VBIOS (video BIOS) file for your exact card model. This file is typically provided in a zip format and will come with instructions.
- Double-check the version number and compare it to the current BIOS version on your card (you can check this using GPU-Z or similar tools).
- Ensure the VBIOS file matches the exact model of your GPU (e.g., if it’s an overclocked model or if there’s a different variant like a Super or OC model).
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.

I can't identify my graphics card manufacturer it looks like a card manufactured by HP. There are no third-party markings and the card is not detected so I can't check via cpu-z. There is an HP sticker on it with the number HP PN: L34259-001
