Problem updating Radeon Rx 470 4GB - Error 43 in Windows

[robertex28]

I have an AMD Radeon RX 470 4GB, installed in a 10/11 Windows system (specify your version if you know which you use). At first it worked well with the drivers that came in the factory CD, but I decided to update them to improve performance or solve possible incompatibilities.I downloaded the most recent driver from the official AMD site:RADEON ADRENALIN SOFTWARE 2020-22.6.1 WIN7 64BIT - JNE23 2022However, after installing it, I restart the equipment and the following error appears in the device administrator:"Windows stopped this device because he reported problems (Code 43)" I have tried several times to reinstall the driver using DDU (Driver Uninstaller Display) in safe mode, completely cleaning any trace of the previous driver, but the problem persists.Interestingly, if I use the original installation CD driver (the factory that comes from the factory), it does work without errors, although it is quite old and I do not have all the updated functions or compatibility.My questions are:Has anyone else had this problem with RX 470 when updating the drivers?What specific driver do you recommend using to avoid error 43?Is it possible that it is a conflict with Windows and not with the driver itself?Are there alternative drivers or compatible previous versions that do not give this error?I appreciate any help or experience that you can share. Note: It is being used for mining

I have my doubts about the card since the bios doesnt look stock. Did you use "AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher" before?
Can you take it out the PC and make a picture?

This is the bios

Your card is a mining card with a mining bios.

You can try to flash a regular E353 bios with Elpida EDW4032BABG and Hynix H5GC4H24AJR memory support.

Sapphire RX 470 VBIOS

4 GB GDDR5, 1236 MHz GPU, 1750 MHz Memory

To flash your card, follow the mini flash guide of eidairaman1:

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

Here is a fix to make 2.93 work in Windows 10 and 11, Get the zip for version 5.0.567, extract it, then find the AMDVBDriverInstaller, execute the file and follow prompts, then restart the computer, that should help with bypassing Win8 Security feature prompt, if you get that prompt hit ok. Once done flashing run the file again to uninstall it for safety reasons

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.

Thank you very much for your answers and advice!
Finally I managed to solve the problem following its recommendations. The Code 43 error was resolved when using [put the specific driver or the solution that worked], and now my RX 470 works perfectly with the blocked updates.

Thanks especially to Vuurvos for patience and detailed orientation
