BIOS for the Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 motherboard, covering PCB revisions 1.0 and 1.1, packed as a 1.02 MB RAR archive. The 970A series is an AMD 970 chipset platform for AM3+ processors. This image can be written to the board's SPI BIOS chip with an external programmer to fix a failed flash or a dead board. Read the original chip first, check that the revision on the PCB is 1.0 or 1.1, and confirm the image matches the chip size, since Gigabyte often fits dual BIOS chips.
