The problem in short:
I got a mining GPU, it kept crashing in a weird way. I flashed a new BIOS and nothing happened.
The problem in more detail:
When I upgraded my PC, I got a used mining card, a Radeon RX 580 (4GB) to be exact, but it was crashing in a weird way whenever it was under a certain load. The crashes would consist of my monitor losing signal and the fans in my PC ramping up. What was interesting about the crashes was that whenever it happened I could still talk to people in my discord call and I had to force shut down my PC to be able to use it again. I recently swapped it with my old card and the crashes were gone and it was better in some cases than the newer mining card even though it only had 2GB VRAM, so I believed it could be due to the card having a mining BIOS installed, so I spent many hours yesterday trying to flash the BIOS and it kept giving me errors until today when I finally did it using the DOS version. Nothing had changed the crashing kept happening and I even reinstalled the drivers to no avail. So I have returned to this forum with the hopes that you could help me fix my scuffed mining card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
