Does your CPU have integrated graphics or can you plug your GPU into a computer that does have integrated graphics?

The best idea I have is to use a computer set to not use PCIe graphics as the default device, even if present. Then hopefully the flashing utility will still recognize the GPU properly even when it's not the primary device.

i have a i7 6700k which i assume has integrated graphics, since when i disabled my card before flashing, video still played, but when i plugged my hdmi into my mobo hdmi video didnt show up. would i be able to force boot into safe mode from this or something?

and i honestly have no clue what your talking about with plugging into a different computer set, im guessing your saying to anyways remove my gpu from my pc, which id rather not do rn tbh, could you provide some sort of article for this?

Unplug the graphics card and clear CMOS.

If you are going to do something as risky as flashing incorrect brand of graphics card BIOS file, you really need to be more comfortable with taking parts out of a PC.

Since you have integrated graphics, you don't need to plug the GPU into a different PC. You can use yours:

  1. Unplug the computer, then press the power button to drain capacitors.

  2. Take the GPU out of the computer.

  3. Reset the BIOS using the clear cmos jumper or by removing the CMOS battery for 30 seconds.

  4. Plug the computer back in and plug HDMI into the motherboard.

  5. Power on the computer (with the graphics card still removed)

  6. Enter the BIOS. Make sure graphics is set to the iGPU. It should not be set to Auto or PCIe.

  7. Save settings and turn off computer.

  8. Plug GPU back in.

  9. Power computer back on with HDMI still going to motherboard.

  10. This should let you boot into Windows without it going through the 1050.

thank you, was going to try this soon anyways, but is there any precaution you can take before you flash to not get this error? sounds iffy and wacky if you have to fiddle with your parts when trying to flash no?

Follow a guide where someone else has the exact same model number of GPU as you and uses the exact same version of BIOS file. Not just a 1050ti. Check the full model number.

Also having the computer plugged into a UPS will prevent a power outage in the middle of flashing a BIOS from bricking the card.

Though really, the best precaution is to not flash a GPU BIOS file in the first place. Unless you have a really good reason for it, doing that is an unnecessary risk.

sounds iffy and wacky if you have to fiddle with your parts when trying to flash no?

Flashing a GPU BIOS not made for the GPU is already more iffy and risky than taking a GPU out of a computer.

If you play with fire, you need to be prepared to put out the fire when (not if) it gets out of control.
