Hey all,
So for the whole day, I've been having problems with my ex-mining RX580, where I hard crash at random times into different colours depending on the page I crash on. I've tried multiple solutions like using just the driver from Windows Update, using an older version of Adrenalin, using the LATEST version of Adrenalin, using AMD Catalyst (note: I also uninstall each driver using DDU before installing the next one). But none of the methods worked...
I came across a video where this guy used ATIFlash/AMDVBFlash to flash his BIOS. Initially, I tried the CMD method but was too dumb to figure it out, so I managed to get my hands on the .exe version and flashed the BIOS.
The .exe was from here:

Unfortunately, after restarting, my PC wouldn't post. So I plugged my monitor into my integrated graphics (with the GPU still plugged in), but it still wouldn't post. I then removed my GPU, and it posted! So I tried the same method again, but with another monitor plugged into my GPU instead (there was another video of a guy posting into BIOS and changing a setting to use integrated graphics instead). But to no avail, it didn't work, and fell into a bootloop instead.
I'm looking to sell this PC soon, so I'm trying everything to fix this GPU before I purchase another second-hand one to replace it. Here's my GPU-Z screenshot:
The BIOS I tried to flash:
My PC specs:
CPU: i5-3470
MOBO: MSI B75MA-P45
The bios I got from VGABIOS matched the GPU clock and Device ID too. Do let me know how to fix this!
EDIT: I realised now that I probably flashed the wrong BIOS, because the memory I have on the GPU is Samsung, but the BIOS is Elpida. My memory clock is also 2000, but the BIOS is 1750.... T_T I think I just need help with identifying the correct BIOS to flash, and also help with booting through integrated graphics with the GPU plugged in, then all should be well, right?
