RX 580 2048sp 8gb Problems

[Ilija712]

Hello,
Asus Prime b360m-c
i5-8400
RX 580 2048sp 8gb
8gb ram 1 stick 2666mhz
128gb nvme ssd

I bought this used gpu and I wanted to test it. Never done any gpu testing before so not really knowledgeable.

Things I've noticed:
1. When I first put the card in I get bios screen saying csm was enabled then windows boots up.

2. I tried furmark2 ran this for like 15 mins and temp was at like 83 max 85c. Fans rpm 3100 really loud really fast. And after I stopped this test fans kept spinning even thoe temp went down to around 25c. Rpm very slowly goes down took like 20 mins from 3150 to 2500rpm.

3. Tried unigine heaven 4.0 benchmark, installed it and clicked basic and run. Runs for like 2-3 mins. Temp gets to around 75c rpm doesnt go high like around 1500 rpm. Then black screen. Monitor says vga no signal. Pc keeps running. I tried this multiple times with different versions of rx 580 drivers same thing.

I wanna make sure this card will be stable when gaming. Is unigine heaven good way to test that? Would first step be trying to get heaven to run without crashing?

I've tried different drivers using ddu to uninstall old. Most of testing done on win11. Now I clean installed win10 same thing happens. Kinda lost all screenshots thoe I will attach some images I have on phone maybe they useful.

I've seen posts about flashing vbios on here. Would that help with my case or are there any other things I can do before that?
Also 1 more thing my monitor only got vga in so I've been using hdmi to vga adapter never had problems with this with my other pc with gtx 1050, but maybe its relevant info to mention.

Any help is appriciated.

Yeah stop running furmark

Get a picture of all white stickers on the card, that means removing your card from system to look for them, also remove the heatsink and get a picture of 1 ram chip, post it all here please.

Also get some thermal compound for the gpu die and fresh thermal pads for the ram

And what power supply are you using???

Sometimes adapters don't work on every card.

I dont have thermal paste or pads will look into getting some.

Card is in bad condition, theres grime all over, screws are all worn. I just took it apart took images and put back together. Is it safe to put it in pc or do I wait to get thermal paste pads clean card and then use it?

Seems like the old dead and heavily abused RX 4-- / 5-- series cards

Most are sold really cheap on chinese websites or ebay, being heavily used on mining on their youth.

Like most that appear on this website for help, they are on the verge of death, flashing it's BIOS is a last resort but hard from being a helpful solution.

Give it a good cleaning, repaste and keep an eye out on temperatures. If it keeps crashing i'd recommend undervolting and underclocking to test stability, with luck, it ain't a paper weight!

Go back into gpu-z, click the black arrow next to the uefi checkbox, attempt to upload the bios to the vga bios collection, you may be prompted that it's already in collection with a link, copy and paste that link here please

Might be getting close with Sapphire rx580 2048sp

I have similar problem here with Powercolor RX580 4GB variant. At first it shows similar problem with OP, but now (after 1 month) it much more worse. But that aside, have OP tried minimal setup drivers? Because in my case every time I install full drivers it will restart.

Give it a good cleaning, repaste and keep an eye out on temperatures. If it keeps crashing i'd recommend undervolting and underclocking to test stability, with luck, it ain't a paper weight!

Do you have any software recommendation for undervolting and underclocking? I've tried Afterburner but it crashed with my Fan Control app while Radeon software makes my computer restart (probably because of AMD FreeSync or something like that

Im not sure I filled up the fields correctly so sending the screen shot of what I filled in. It found duplicate heres link https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/223190/223190

Should I do cleaning and thermal paste and pads first or bios flashing first? Never done any of this. Is it fine to get any thermal paste and any thermal pads or do I need to look for something specific?

When I choose sapphire in the manufacturer it doesnt find duplicate screen shot in attachments.
Also I went arrow then save to file maybe thats useful too Ellesmere.rom file.

Bios flashing is quite risky. I have done it before and I cannot boot with flashed bios. Need to revert back to normal. If you familiar with it is upon you whether thermal paste first or flashing first.

You can get any thermal paste, I prefer to use high-end thermal paste. For pads, you need to use the correct thickness. Ask the manufacturer what thickness is suitable for your needs. I ask powercolor and it said that i need 1.25mm, but its hard to get do I use 1.5mm instead

You can try to flash a RX570 bios instead. RX580 2048SP is a slightly higher clocked RX570. When flashing a RX570 OC bios those clocks should be the same as the stock RX580 2048SP model

There are a couple of stranges things with the current bios. GPU is running at 1306MHz instead of 1284 MHz and memory running at 2000MHz instead of 1750MHz.
This pushes your card to its limits and with worn out VRM's you can get black screens.
See RX580 2048SP specs: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/radeon-rx-580-2048sp.c3321

I recommend to flash this bios on your card with amdvblfash 2.93:

Sapphire RX 570 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1284 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

www.techpowerup.com

For RX 500 Series (Polaris) and Older:

Get amdvbflash 2.93

https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/

Then look for Version 4.68, underneath 4.68 you will see a link to show older version, click that and you should see version 2.93

Follow these steps carefully:

1. Open your "C:" drive in Windows, create a new folder, call it atiflash.

2. Extract the contents of atiflash_293.zip to the "C:\atiflash" folder

3. Find the bios file you downloaded and rename the bios file to 5 digits with .rom on end Example RX 580, change file to rx580.rom (r****.rom)

4. Move r****.rom to the "C:\atiflash" folder

5. Open the start menu, type cmd, when cmd.exe appears right click it and hit "Run as administrator"

6. At the command prompt type in cd\ and press enter until only C:\> is on the screen.

7. Type in cd/atiflash and press enter, you should see C:\atiflash>

8. Type in amdvbflash.exe -i to identify the gpu you want to flash with a 0, 1, or 2)

9. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -unlockrom 0
(there is a space between the e and -unlockrom and 0)(0 is the number zero)
press enter and you will be prompted that the "ROM Unlocked" (or 1, 2)

10. At the C:\atiflash> prompt type in
amdvbflash.exe -f -p 0 r****.rom
(there is a space between the .exe and -f, and a space between -f and -p and 0).
(Or 1, 2)

Press Enter

Follow directions on screen and if flash is successful exit the command prompt and restart, windows should show up on screen.

Yeah the dataland bios which is powercolor was misleading on a PCB that was originally for a RX 470 and apparently a Sapphire.

I did find code 1002 6FDF 1DA2 E353, just got too tired to look after peeling the 470s

Need to remember.

Maxsun=PC Partner (Sapphire)

Dataland=TUL (Powercolor)

I noticed a -049 at the end of this file in the pn sequence. I wonder if that might be a part of the SKU even in thus file

@VuurVOS @Imperator and I have guided several in restoring cards, however if the card is damaged due to a component failing, a flash won't fix it.

I would say that bios is modified since memory clock speeds are not matching SKU.

Not sure why Sapphire mention it is a 4G while the SKU page shows it as a 8GB:

RX580 2048SP 4G D5 白金版 OC

<p>1080P 游戏性价比选择，白金品质，可靠稳定</p>

www.sapphiretech.com

I would say, this is the orginal bios. Since the card is acting strange a slightly lower clocked bios should be beter for stability.

AMD RX 580 VBIOS

[lexluthermiester]

8gb ram 1 stick 2666mhz

This stood out. Get a second matching stick of RAM. Your system RAM is running at half it's potential with only one.

So whats the deal? You come on and not reply, you going to try the solutions or what?

Im gunna clean and repaste first and see if it makes a difference if not I will try flashing bios u guys recommended

I would flash a E353 bios regardless since you currently dont have the correct bios on the card. Its not from Sapphire since E353 part number is not present in the bios.

Correct Sapphire RX 580 2048SP bios for you card:

AMD RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1306 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

Slower clocked Sapphire RX 570 bios:

Hello,

New findings:
I bought new ram 2x8gb 3200mhz (mobo doesnt support so its running at 2666 mhz or mt/s not sure) and ssd 500gb and put it in this pc.
Clean installed win 11. Installed gpu z and unigine heaven. Then for some reason I decided to run heaven with monitor connected to mobo.
And it didnt crash and it utilized the amd gpu. And I didnt have the problem where fans kept spinning at high rpm.
Then I swapped monitor to gpu port and it crashed again. I dont know if this info changes anything.

Do I just use the pc with monitor connected to mobo are there some cons to doing it this way?
Do I still try flashing the correct bios? or do I try the slower clock one first? And then see if it can run heaven without crash while connected to gpu port?

Is the "For RX 500 Series (Polaris) and Older:" guide from VuurVOS's first reply the guide I need to follow for flashing?

Yes and also use version 2.93 only!

When I run amdvbflash.exe -i
I get: cannot load driver
Due to Microsoft Win8 Enhanced Security Features
A driver cannot load on this device

I saw on download page for 2.93 that windows 11 isnt mentioned, do I install windows 10 again to be safe or is there some known workaround for this?

Doing the following can help:

• Disable core isolation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/core-isolation-e30ed737-17d8-42f3-a2a9-87521df09b78
• Put the files on an usb stick instead on the c:\ drive.

I typed core isolation in windows 11 search opened settings for it and turned off Local Security Authority protection and Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist.
After that I had no problems running amdvbflash.exe -i so I continued with the steps and got error: 0FL01 when trying to flash the rx570 slower clocked bios. (image attached)

What now do I try the correct bios or is there something else to try with this one? Did I mess something up? Is windows 11 problem do I just install windows 10 again?

Did you also try to run for an usb stick instead of the c:\ drive?

Sometimes you need to try again a couple of times or just a system reboot.

I see the bios is partially overwritten. Please flash your backup back before rebooting.

I did not try from an usb stick.

Do I just keep trying like this or do I have to flash backup reboot then try again?

Edit: Tried from usb stick same error just different X/40000h bytes programmed.
Also same error if I try the vbios I originally backed up.

 

[Ilija712]

After restarting pc flashing the RX570 vbios worked first try.

Then I restarted again bc it said so then it showed in gpu z as RX570 series.

Then I ran heaven benchmark, and it ran longer than usual to the point where I thought thats it then boom black screen.
I go sleep I will try the correct vbios tomorrow.

Install Hwinfo. Run Furmark. Watch VRM temps of that RX580. I think they are cooking. Ideally you want them < 80 degrees. It's bad when they are above 80 degrees. There's ram chips next to it that are getting cooked because of it.

I had the same card; if cooled properly they can reach over 1650Mhz core.
