I bought an sapphire pulse rx 580 8gb(samsung) dual oc gpu from a miner i know.It had flashed bios to rx570 but i flashed it back to rx 580 and it shows a yellow triangle at device manager(code 43) and also the PCI simple communications controller.I have tried multiple bios old and new but the same problem.GPU shows up as microsoft adapter with no problem and when i install any driver it goes to yellow triangle.I tried flashing another rx 580 nitro vbios and it worked but crashed a lot because it had different memory timings.Also i have tried DDU in safe mode multiple times.If it helps i have an intel i7 2600k but with disabled iGPU.If you have any idea whats wrong pls help me

If this backplate is correct (and the GPU-Z information lines up with it, and any other real RX 580), you have the correct VBIOS flashed on your card already. Any further diagnostic requires tearing it apart, but if the code next to the GPU core is 215-0910038 and you have Samsung memory, don't even bother with anything else, it's just hardware damage because you took a gamble in buying electronic waste.

The correct advice is to return it and never repeat the mistake. Never, ever, ever buy Radeon R9 300, RX 400, 500 and Vega series GPUs from miners, no matter how light your wallet is.

Do you have any other idea what it could be?
 
I recently installed my own old RX 580 on a machine that needed display output and I saw the same message from the first screenshot. However, later AMD proceeded to install something on its own... and after restart, Windows 10 asked me to restart again and then problem solved.

If I was you, I would try to fix that "PCI simple communications controller issue".

Correct bios? Cooler shroud shows E353. Bios has E387 listed in the boot message. Doesn't looks like a exact match to me.

@PrankEZ
Which model is listed on the memory chips?

E353 bios with Samsung K4G80325FB support

E353 bios with Samsung K4G80325FC support

Is that in "E353" in the middle of the the P/N? The BIOS in OP's card matches what is identified by GPU-Z (1002 67DF 1DA2 E387), or does this fixed ID also change once you force flash? Worth a try, I suppose, hope OP didn't get scammed (too much)

E353 is the Printed Circuit Board number. Sapphire lists their board number on their cooler, pcb, bios boot message and subsystem id :)
 
Fixed it.Found the dual bios switch and it had the original bios so now it works perfectly.For anyone having the exact same problem I saved the original bios with atiflash and I posted here.Btw the PCI simple communication controller issue had nothing to do with it.

Please upload the bios with GPU-Z instead of posting it here.

To be honest, all the E353 bioses are likely uploaded by now. I dont think your bios will be a new one.
