Instead of flashing BIOS screen went insane #219

i have Lenovo T430. Successfully Downgraded BIOS to 2.81. Followed every step from README.me and watched console output - did not notice any errors. Every step was completed successfully... and when i switched boot mode to "Legacy only" and booted from USB stick my screen literally went insane (see the photo). It seemed like it was repeatedly repeating the same 3 characters.

Fortunately, shutting down did not cause any damage.
