Figure I'd leave you with my system specs:
i5 2400
Lenovo Thinkcecntre M81 Mobo, Q65 chipset
16gb DDR3
120gb SSD
240gb SSD
GTX 660ti (prior to this RX 580)
I recently purchased a used Sapphire Nitro+ RX 580 4gb. After its initial installation, it had worked. I used DDU to uninstall my gtx 660ti drivers. It POSTed, I had drivers installed, was even able to play a few games. Whille monitoring GPU and Mem Clock speeds I noticed thatt GPU clock speed was maxing out at 1150Mhz and Mem clock was maxing out at 2000. I realized that was a bit odd, since stock should be GPU 1411Mhz and Mem 1750Mhz. So I thought to myself, this definitely must have been mined on and the bios was flashed to difference clock speeds. So I went and tried to flash the bios to stock on my own. Unfortunately I did not save the BIOS that the GPU was shipped to me with. I flipped the bios switch to the side that did not have the "mined" bios installed. No go, no boot. So i flashed it. Bam boom flash. My RX 580 was flashed. Restarted my computer, and got nada. No POST, keyboard and mouse not lighting up. So I flipped the switch back, it booted. I was back in Windows. So i figured lemme try to flash this side of the bios switch. Ended up not being able to POST. Unfortunately, I was afraid I did some bad flashing.
I lent my 580 to my friend, where he was able to successfully flash the card. He used it on his system, even played a few games to test it out. GREAT! I was excited, let's do this! I got my card back, popped it in. WOMP. I was still in the same spot as before. No POST, no booting into Windows. When powering on my PC, the card lights up and fans are spinning, no signal, no POST, no boot. Ive tried to clear the cmos, reset the mobo bios, re-set ram, re-set the gpu. I wasn't getting anywhere. so I was hoping someone may have some insight. Thanks in advance.
