Weird RGB problem

[Bones26]

I built my own setup 2 years ago now, and recently I've been having some weird problems with it.



Setup:

Ryzen 5 5600
Rx 7600 Gigabyte Gaming Oc
Pichau Danuri B550M (Maxsun White Label)
16 GB (2x8) Redragon Firefly
Azza 650w PSU 80+ bronze
Deepcool Ag400 CPU Cooler.

It all started when I updated my motherboard BIOS. Yes, I know it's a bad thing, but I needed to get rid of the old BIOS that came with my motherboard because it had AMD fTPM issues (iykyk), so please don't bully me because of it.

The Update went well, and at first i noticed nothing out of the normal. But then, i remembered that my Rx 7600 had a customizable RGB logo just on the side of the GPU. I went to check it, and it was off. I thought to myself, "That's okay, I just made a BIOS update; the settings are not properly configured, so I'll just reboot and it'll come back to normal." I did the reboot and configured the BIOS the same way it was before, but still, no RGB. I was starting to get worried I damaged my GPU, so I started checking for damage, and oddly enough, the GPU was working fine. It was posting with no black screens or artifacts and was normally reacting to changes in fan curves and other settings, and I was able to play comfortably for hours without any problems whatsoever. My guess is that the BIOS update messed with the GPU firmware in a way that only reflashing the BIOS will work. The only clue I have to this is that the RGB itself turns on and off synced with the white LED (posting indicator) during the startup process. The only problem is that the GPU database here on TechPowerUp doesn't have a BIOS for this GPU (it has one, but it isn't verified, and I don't know if it's the rev 1.0 version). What should I do? (Left a video just so i can showcase what im talking about.)

I read someone else sorted this situation by unplugging the PC from the mains and pressing the power button for a while, several times. They then restarted the system and the lights on the graphics card came back... Others have changed the LED ssetting in the BIOS, then changed them back and it`s suddenly been OK.

I very much doubt the firmware on the gpu has been affected, it`s more a bug in the latest BIOS.

Good luck.

A motherboard BIOS update doesn't "mess with the GPU firmware".
I see no justification to attempt to flash your GPU, and I don't recommend it at this point.

RGB settings in the motherboard BIOS wont control the RGB on the card AFAIK.
Gigabyte Control Center should be able to control the RGB on the card - is it up to date?
Windows Dynamic Lighting can confuse the issue.
I'm not sure how Gigabyte handles it, but RGB controller firmware updates are a thing so maybe check if you need one.

You may wish to try something like OpenRGB.

Good luck.

Mainboard firmware updates should be done regularly. AMD has lots of known issues.

I assume that graphic card has a peg slot and one "PCIE" connector from the power supply unit. I would check the RGB software again. Some rare cards have a connector for mainboard RGB control or mainboard controls for the graphic card.

I would not touch the firmware for your graphic card.

Hey guys! So I've found another clue on what the problem could be. I tried using RGB Fusion 2.0 to control the RGB, but the LEDs in the sleep config tab are completely missing from the software. Also, the software is asking me for a password? It's the first time I'm using it, so I have no clue what this could be. Edit: I also rolled back BIOS before making the first post, but it still didn't work.

I checked the software. There is something weird going on with it; I've sent a screenshot in my other message.

I've checked everything, including OpenRGB, but it doesn't recognize my GPU. Also, I found a weird thing going on with the Fusion RGB app, where the LEDs in the Sleep tab don't let me change anything. I sent a screenshot in my last message. Everything is up to date (I checked on Gigabyte Control Center)
