Alright guys, got yet another error with a rx 400 card. I've already had a 470 that randomly crapped itself and a 480 that did something similar, randomly black screening and fan 100% while sitting idle. (then i ovened it to try and fix it and a memory chip popped of so it was cooked lol)
Anyways, I've been using this HP 460 model for a bit on my other personal PC for a bit and it's worked fine and ran all the games it needed to. From the beginning it was having a weird issue with the HDMI port(it would slowly flicker on, then off, then on, then off) but I didn't really care too much because it was my second monitor. so I just used the main one. It was fine for a couple months, but one day it just started freezing, and corrupted my windows because I had to force shut it down. I've learned so far a fresh windows install fixes this issue, it won't freeze randomly and it'll boot fine, but once I install drivers, it'll start freezing and blackscreening on boot again. (Windows automatic repair sometimes fixes the issue by rolling back the driver to microsoft basic display btw). So yeah.
I've tried reflashing the bios a couple times so far and it did nothing, I already popped it in the oven to fix the HDMI issue from before but it did nothing. Should I have another go?
This card is probably toast isn't it? What do you guys think?
