Hmm...

I 'sort off' faced a similar problem as you. That was with my R9500 flased to a R9700 Pro BIOS. It worked for a long time, a few months. One day, I was playing some games, I get very weird stuttering while playing ET. I though it was HDD swapping, so I decided to reboot to see if that's the problem. But unfortunately, the system failed to boot up again. I get video card error beep. Knowing that the card is causing the problem. I tried the same card on my 2 secondary systems, either doesn't boot, or the same video card error beep. So my R9500 was officially dead.

Unfortunately, I think your card is dead as well...And I don't think it's related to the BIOS flash.

You can try flashing the BIOS again. Make sure you changed the Init Display First to PCI. Check here for more info.

But chances are, you won't be able to flash the BIOS at all.
