Any help, why this happened, how to fix? Atiwinflash 293, tried flashing from cmd as administrator also. Tried to install 18.3.1 driver - error code 43 after reboot (without amd pixel patch).
 
Wrong bios on card.

What specific card do you have?

Provide pictures of all white stickers on the back of the card or on the side of the card heatsink, remove the heatsink and take a picture of 1 ram chip, post pics here

So you modified a bios?

ok I have found 6 compatible bios files for you.


1: first off make sure you have the latest download of AMD/ATI Flash here: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/ati-atiflash/
2: Make a backup of your current BIOS by downloading GPU-z and saving the bios to a folder on your PC.
3: download all of the above bios files and save to a folder named 560 downloaded bios files or similar so you know they are easily accessible and in a convenient place
3: Run amdvbflashWin.exe as admin within windows and click "load image" then try the bios files you have saved previously until you have a succesful flash.
4: confirm successful flash by running a 3d load on the GPU and making sure it doesnt crash under 3d load.

First I was skeptical (I thought those bioses are the same as my backup), but then downloaded first 3. Crc was different than installed modified bios, so I was able to install, and looks like bios is "native" again, because after restart there was no error 43. Then dancing with drivers began. There was 18.3.1 installed, rebooted into safe mode, uninstalled amd drivers with ddu, then reboot, chosed upgrade driver from device manager, and poof, bsod - "thread stack in device driver". Strange things began several days ago, this card began to stuck computer, bsods. Despite internet says that it is more likely software issues, based on the above I think this could be hardware issues (faulty video ram maybe?). Anyway, bios seems original now, so this card can go to service, conundrum why my backup bios has different crc than those you offered remains unresolved.
 
Dont worry about it. The card is fixed.

W10 is buggy.

Make sure chipset drivers are installed first and your motherboard bios is set to optimized defaults.
