Can I still change settings of motherboard in bios?

Depends on the motherboard. Some newer boards won't dis play at all as the graphics aren't designed for low res display. You may just get a black screen. I have a mobo that won't display right at low res. It shows part of the screen but the graphics are clearly wrong, some parts of the screen have been drawn on top of others, etc. The BIOS isn't really usable at 15kHz that way.

So, what is your solution if you really need to enter the bios?
Can I simply unplug the GPU and use onboard video output first, after finishing the bios stuff then plug back the GPU?

The ideal solution is to set up the BIOS before flashing Atom15. Otherwise, you should be able to just plug an LCD into the motherboard's onboard video port as is, while removing your CRT. If that fails, try plugging in an LCD to a digital port on the GPU. If that fails, try removing your video card. After that you might need to flash the original BIOS back to the GPU, make changes on an LCD, and flash back to Atom15.
Didn't you say you couldn't get Atom15 to work though? You had the triple image, but not for the BIOS? Have you tried plugging that same port into an LCD? And the BIOS won't come up?

I see, thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, I still can't get Atom-15 work properly, so I just ask for the situation when it works.

Well, i may as well post this here...
I bought a used Gigabyte Windforce R9 380 Gaming 4GB card (990Mhz clock) and i'm having Atom15 woes. Atiwinflash_271 fails to read the BIOS, and sometimes just crashes. I got a BIOS file using AMDVBflash_win_3.20, and Atom15 1.6 says it patched ok. But when i reflash using the same tool, it works, then the card bricks on restart. I've recovered using a second, older card and tried again a few times. Anyone have any ideas?
Original R7 380 BIOS file is attached as zip. This one if rev F50.
EDIT: I also tried using Atom15 1.5 with the same result. The BIOS patches ok, or says it does. The AMDVBflash tool says it flashes ok, but the card bricks on restart.
