OK, from the picture you posted earlier i can confirm that something is not right at that BIOS
Save it using the button from GPU-z and post it here and let me take a look at it
Ok

Is it this?

I had the same issue after switching GPU's.
I think turning off secure boot fixed it for me.

let me search for a match in TPU database
Because you attached the current BIOS i managed to identify the exact memory chip you have on it : Samsung FC
And now i can say i managed to find a BIOS for you :

Please be so kind and do not take in consideration the pictures of the card.
When you will look inside the BIOS i provided you will see the details.
Those are important

Disregard the image, it is a placeholder, the device id, subsystem id, ram brand/type is what determines what will work and what will not.

The 2nd BIOS file i provided is the right one.
1366 and 1386 aren't mhz if you are looking at those numbers. :)

Look at the end of details what card is the donor of the file :
1671818284636.png


Then look at the name of the card you have on the label you have on it

In order to have a fully functional system - you have to remove the old drivers.
Do that by using DDU - display driver uninstaller.
Then reinstall the video driver again

I reinstalled the AMD drivers and click Factory Reset, is that not the same thing?
