    By blind flashing I meant I flashed it back to the AW bios from the unlocked BIOS, when the GPUs had died, I had to do it by sound and knowing when the machine roughly would hit the command prompt.

    It was booting silently, obviously I just didnt have any display whatsoever because the GPUs were playing funny. The machine was still going through POST etc.
