Graphics card will only work with unrecognized/unapproved bios

[Brainyface]

Hey everyone, I recently picked up an RX 580 8GB from Marketplace and I'm starting to suspect it was used as a mining card. decided to check the BIOS using Sha query, and it turns out the BIOS is unrecognized according to TechPowerUp. There are three BIOS versions available for this card, but every time try flashing any of them, I get a blank screen-can't even get into the system BIOS.
After getting frustrated, I flashed back the BIOS that the card originally came with, and that's the only way can get any video output.


Has anyone else experienced this? What could be the issue, and are there any fixes for it? Any advice would be appreciated!

This is the only bios it has worked with and is unrecognized

MSI bioses are bound to serial number so you can't randomly flash a bios. Every serial number range has different memory on the PCB.

Please provide the serial number and we will try to provide the correct bios.

Thank you, I flashed this and works perfectly, I am still having issues with crashes, do you think its a hardware fault?
