Driver issue with xfx rx 580 2048sp. "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems" (Code 43)

[ed0214]

Just built my first pc with an old xfx rx580 2048sp that i found on the internet to upgrade to big navi in the near future. Probably not the wisest of decisions but it worked but now I'm having driver issues with this card. I've tried disabling device in device manager and reinstalling drivers but this error keeps appearing. What is also weird is that on GPU sensor information on GPU-Z seem to be wrong. Do i need to flash vbios in this situation? Any help to resolve the issues is greatly appreciated. Rest of the pc is new.

There might be an issue with the card itself. I think the drivers have to be installed for the sensors to function.

Any chance you could post closeup photos of the card, and white stickers? A photo of the memory chips would help although you’d have to remove the heatsink.
Don’t remove the heatsink unless you have replacement thermal compound for the GPU die.

i might take it out and get a photo of memory chips later today

We've all seen it too many times on TPU here, cards bought of EBay or wherever that have had their BIOS modded or flashed just for mining. Most can be fixed with ease, just need to numbers off the chips directly.

IIRC the default 580 BIOS was replaced for mining quite often, so I'd give it a 85% chance your card has been flashed for mining.

That card has already been apart that's not the original thermal paste on there (also way to much of it used) if it's electrically conductive or capacitive then it's causing a short or a change in resistance values that the GPU doesn't like

also it probably has a mining bios on it aswell as not working properly hence why it was sold off it's also a China only SKU and TPU doesn't seem to have an xfx-rx-580-2048sp-black-wolf-8-gb.b6405 BIOS in the database soo you may have to email XFX and ask them to send you one

idk it looks like it was not cleaned off when the new paste was applied on top of too much used.

There is a bit of corrosion on it too, on the dvi? shield and on the PCIe power pins

 

[Athlonite]

may have recently been in some flooding not the first time I've heard of that going on from China

Yeah, that looks like corrosion, it must have been submerged in water at some point. I think you bought a dud.
