I bought a second hand MSI RX 580 8gb the other day and within minutes of purchasing the seller went totally dark...deleted profile and the works. It was an Oh poop moment. I went home and plugged it in to see what I was working with. Figuring I was dealing with trouble, I plugged it in as a secondary card. GPU-Z really didn't see anything; just a basic adapter. Off to a great start. I disassembled the card, put on all new pads and paste and still nothing. At this point, I figure it is a bad bios or a total scam job. I plugged it into my HiveOS machine and started flashing the BIOS that I thought would work...nothing. Try and try again. HiveOS can see the card, but never can see the memory. Hopefully, someone here can help me determine the thing can either be flashed and salvaged or I got suckered. Thanks-
