Bricked my "High Performance" (Switch # 2) BIOS in my R9 290. I'm currently at switch #1 which is "Silent Mode". Can't do a usb boot with ATIWinFlash with the .exe file cuz windows said "file cannot be run in DOS mode". What should I do?

You don't know about the trick? When you are in the first bios you can switch to second bios while PC is ON, even if its bricked. Then just reflash it, done. Good Luck.
