RX 580 bad flash!

[dimineata]

my suggestion stands, i recommend , atleast setting the problem GPU's back to the proper defaults, and seeing if that resolves. you have clearly tried what you can think of, so whats to lose? your time basically.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I have already reflashed the original bios i backed up to no avail

I hope you marked the bios files properly from the other cards.

You may have to use a command prompt flash too.

There are so many different skus, it is possible you might of damaged the card, there is a write protection disable function you can try, @Mr. Genius, @Solaris, @Law-II , @buildzoid, @cdawall might be able to help you.

that sucks. the other possible causes of the issue arent promising, hopefully its something recoverable.

Best of luck.

I have numbered each BIOS for each card, indeed. Think the cmd flash is the next thing i'll try

Thanks for the prompt replies guys

Guess I have to figure out a way to stop windows 10 from automatically trying to install the amd driver via windows update first

 

[eidairaman1]

Disconnect the ethernet and set connection to monitored or go on to a search engine and ask that, there should be plenty of results for it.

damn thing is already downloaded, install will kick in in the background after log on, so annoying

Just install the latest driver and enable compute mode.

I think I am going to offer a service where I repair BIOS fubar'd cards.

 

[dimineata]

Reflashed via cmd and seems to be working for now.

Booted into windows with just the one card plugged in, installed driver and applied pixel patch.

Thanks all. Hope it won't bsod again when I plug in all 6 cards now.

EDIT: All 6 GPUs visible in device manager with the driver installed, no bsod for the first 2 minutes. Fingers crossed will stay the same after restart

Use this video, follow his steps

I'm happy that this came to fruition for you just keep up with us on this

I wish we could go back to socketed bios chips this crap of soldering them to the board is garbage

Running into the same issue myself.

Have 6 RX 580s. Plugged in one by one, backed up original bios, flashed a modded one. All good. Started the system with all 6 connected, everything ran fine for about 2 hours before i turned off the PC. The next morning when I boot, Windows will only give BSOD at login. Same like OP.

Primary video source is onboard graphics.

Plugged in one by one to debug, turned out when I had this card connected will only BSOD when trying to load the driver.

Things I've tried:

Booted in safe mode, ddu all drivers.
Booted back in windows, can see the card in device manager, but if I try to install the driver it will throw a bsod during installation (system thread exception not handled, atikdmag.sys)
Given that I can see the card even though the driver is not installed, run AtiWinFlash again and flashed the original bios. Still BSOD when trying to install the driver.
Changed risers, still nothing.

Don't know what else to try.

My miner did the same on occasion , to fix it reimage the pc with the cards in then install the blockchain specific driver and then leave it and never change driver, disable hardware updates.

I have also fixed it once or twice with the atipixel patcher tool found in the polaris bios editor thread on oc forums ,im now at home heres the link http://redirect.viglink.com/?format=go&jsonp=vglnk_151605450834815&key=7777bc3c17029328d03146e0ed767841&libId=jcgrpb9401000kb5000DA11hqxssd5rjmm&loc=http://www.overclock.net/t/1604567/polaris-bios-editing-rx5xx-rx4xx&v=1&out=https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher&title=Polaris Bios Editing ( RX5xx / RX4xx )&txt=https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher

install the driver only until it unpacks to AMD on C then run pixel patcher then i tried to install normally, when it did'nt succeed, the packages had been installed ,just not the drivers, so then force updating the drivers to the ones in the blockchain specific folder got them working , might have took a few reboots and a force install per card though which is why i wipe now , its easier

 

[dimineata]

Thanks for the tips, very good idea about the drive imaging

Update on the above.

Back to square 1. Shut down last night, booted again today, bsod.

Think Windows 10 is the culprit anyway. Tried SimpleMining OS and it detects all cards with no issues

Applied pixel patcher last night, checked after, the driver files were patched.

***Booted with 5 cards today, checked again, it's not patched.

DISABLED Windows Update service yesterday. Today I got a notification "We're getting your PC up to date". Check in services, it's back on automatic.

***Checked the drivers date in device manager, some cards have a driver dated 24/04/17 (probably installed by windows update, but why the ***?????! since I had drivers installed?!) others still have the blockchain drivers installed by me date 10/08/17 or something.

Under the impression that any time I run DDU windows update will just attemp to install that old driver on it's own.

Although this is the second time i'm starting from scratch, think i'll wipe the drive and reinstall windows again and figure out a way to kill windows update before it begins downloading any drivers on its own.

Think the * sections could be useful in the future for troubleshooting if somebody runs into same problems as me

You can install the latest Adrenalin drivers and enable compute mode for the same hashrate fix as blockchain drivers.

Yeah definitely but I've found bios mod/wrote cards to have issues installing personally , like the other guy ,but I use 17.12.2 myself on 3stck saphire nitro+ with the same hashrate as the blockchain driver in compute mode.

Are you getting a certain BSOD error? I'm having issues with a atikmpag.sys BSOD error. I've been through it all. Installed, uninstalled, installed 1 card, re flashed, re installed. Do i have a memory, card, or driver issue? I'm running MSI RX 570 Armor 4G windows 10 64 bit
