I've linked you to HIRENS (which contains a DOS environment) and a howto make HIRENS work from USB.

As for the BIOS files, I have no idea. Just make sure that you follow the backup instructions, and, should the flash fail, you can always retry. It's not like they'll be more broken after a flash (assuming you can flash it in the first place).

Just RMA the card?

You could check whether other video ports (HDMI/Displayport/VGA/DVI etc) do work, but that's about it.

Indeed. That's what I'll be doing but as I'm in Brazil and the first world is entire continents and oceans away in any given direction, that will take some time.

In the meantime my laptop is back and while it will run PS2, it wont do so well enough to actually play.
I can however login for certs... but I'll not be playing with BI  until this gets resolved.

Sadness.

Good news!
On my laptop I zeroed all settings so planetside looks like DOOM95, and I can get enough FPS to kill and throw ammo everywhere.

RMA process initiated with the card.
