Okay, I've decided that I'm replacing my broken RX 460 for a Firepro s9000, out of all things.
But I'm running into an issue. The HP computer I plugged it into doesn't boot (Intel 300 something chipset), infact it screams out an error message, but not for the GPU, for faulty memory (3 long 2 short)
"The embedded controller has timed out waiting for BIOS to return from memory initialization."
My personal PC boots up fine but with a message "the vga card is not compatible with the uefi driver. CSM settings have been altered" or something along those lines.
But it works fine after that. windows is stable. I run GPU-z and shows it as a Firepro w8000, but with 6gb of V-Ram. so this might be an identification error but it's still more info.
I'm wondering why this is happening? I used to run a GCN card in my main PC, an HD 7950. and there wasn't any issues like this. If it's being finicky because of vbios, I've tried flashing it to other 6gb "sister" models like a sky 900, "R9 280 6gb" or "7970 6gb" which the last two probably aren't real, unverified uploads after all. Also, I tried flashing it to a low clocked 7950 and it blue screened on me, not sure if that's because it has 3gb I haven't tried flashing it to a different s9000 yet but I'm not sure if that'll fix the issue. Also interesting note, the "7970 6gb" and "R9 280 6gb" Gave the same blue screen message, while the 7950 bios gave a different one. None booted the card, I was using an HD 3450 to display and they bsod'ed after drivers installed.
So what can I try now? different 7950 bioses? (assuming that HD cards don't have this weird issue or that flashing would fix it) different s9000 bios? HP bios settings? mod an HD card bios to run 6gb V-Ram?(if that's the issue of course)?
not sure what to do here, any ideas are appreciated!!!
