Bad bios it looks like.

Get sticker pics from the card and remove the heatsink and get a pick of all ram chips surrounding the die and a close up of 1 ram chip please

I did all the steps and rebooted with the hdmi connected to the gpu and it still doesn't post unfortunately, maybe it's a problem on the card itself, but thanks for helping me anyway

Wait a sec make sure to switch the input mode of your monitor to hdmi.

If still no dice swap cables, if still no dice...


That was the last effort, so yes that card is damaged. TBF I'd buy a Brand new in box RX 6400 or 6500 series from Amazon or Newegg(have buyer protection), avoid ali express and facebook market as they have no buyer protection

Yeah I made sure the cable works. I already got another gpu just wanted to try and see what's wrong with it so i could use it in another pc

Well youd have to send it to krisfix.de or northridgefix but honestly you can find new budget display adapters that cost the same as that rx550.

Yeah it makes no sense to fix a cheap gpu like this

Yup, I can understand a Top Graphics Accelerator from any Generation being repaired but these display adapters, nope.
