I am currently facing an issue with error 43 on my graphics card, which prevents me from accessing almost any application. I have tried several methods, such as uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, and deleting everything related to AMD, but none of these solutions have worked for me.

Recently, I discovered that the problem might stem from my computer's BIOS, which seems to be modified for mining purposes. Because of this, I decided to flash the drivers on my computer. However, when attempting to replace the driver, I encountered a P/N mismatch error. I verified on the website that the driver I am trying to use is indeed for my specific graphics card, and it matches the one listed on this link:
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/216636/asrock-rx5500xt-8192-191031.

From what I have read in forums, it is necessary to change the BIOS number, but this requires the PolarisBiosEditor application, which, as I understand, is not compatible with my graphics card: ASRock RX 5500 XT 8 GB (Challenger D).

If needed, I can provide a screenshot of my GPU information via GPU-Z. Additionally, I found a BIOS file with the same version as my current one. While the flash process worked, after restarting, the error 43 persisted. I am unsure if this is because the flashed BIOS file was the same version as the original.
