XFX RX 580 fails when trying to update the bios

[EmilIoAJX]

Hello everyone, a cordial greeting.

I have an 8GB XFX RX 580 which I am very interested in repairing, I tried flashing a bios in both modes, and it just stopped turning on. It seems that it had a dedicated bios for mining, since I looked at its original specifications and they did not match.

The question is, does anyone have an idea how to repair it? I already ordered the programmer if necessary (CH341A with the SOIC8 adapter), but I would like to know if anyone has another method or knows how to make it work.

Also if they have a correct Bios file, so as not to mess it up twice.

As an important fact, the computer started up, but it did not provide any video, and the fans stopped. Likewise, my processor is a Xeon, so it does not have integrated graphics.

I would appreciate any response.

Before flashing anything, you need to know which memory is on the card. Blindly flashing a bios in hope it has the correct memory support is not the way to go.
Please provide memory brand and part number which is listed on the memory. Samsung K4G80325FB, K4G80325FC? Hynix H5GQ8H24MJR, H5GC8H24AJR? Micron??

Can you provide us the XFX PCB board number as well. See red square in the picture below:

Of course, in theory I did check the memories and chose the correct version, but I probably made a mistake.

The pcb number is 181030HJ, and the ram memory from what I understand is Samsung.

This was the last thing it looked at before it stopped working.

We still dont know what the part number of the Samsung memory is. Is it Samsung K4G80325FB or Samsung K4G80325FC?

You asked for help, provide the a pic of a ram chip please

I tried flashing a bios in both modes, and it just stopped turning on.

Did you test the card at all when it was working?
When you flashed it, did it actually complete the process successfully?
Isn't that a dual BIOS card with a physical switch?
If so, are you saying you flashed both BIOS?

Hello, good morning, I already have the memory model, it is Samsung K4G80325FC - HC25

Did you test the card at all when it was working?
When you flashed it, did it actually complete the process successfully?
Isn't that a dual BIOS card with a physical switch?
If so, are you saying you flashed both BIOS?

That's right, when the bios was updated it seemed like nothing was wrong, but once it turned off, it didn't turn on again.

ready, I sent it

These bioses have the correct memory suport and should work:

XFX RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1386 MHz GPU, 2000 MHz Memory

XFX RX 580 VBIOS

8 GB GDDR5, 1100 MHz GPU, 2120 MHz Memory

Perfect, I'm just waiting for the programmer to arrive, in the meantime, is there any way to flash the bios? Or I just have to wait.

Which version of the CH341A did you order? I hope version 1.7 since the black pcb version can kill your graphics card further due wrong voltages. See this video below:

Can a second graphics card be installed in the your system?

is there any way to flash the bios?

You could make a boot disk and .bat file and do it headless or something.
If you have access to another GPU, and can use both at the same time that's an option.
Use another PC.

I asked about the switch because many cards that look like this one have dual BIOS, and a tiny switch to go between gaming and mining BIOS.

Good luck!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I WAS ABLE TO SOLVE IT NOW

I'm going to leave the solution for anyone who likes to try it.

A neighbor of mine lent me something called a riser, since my computer does not have two PCI ports. I had a graphics card on the motherboard of my PC, and separately there was the RX 580 in the riser.

I watched a video that if you make a jumper in one of the integrated ones that stores the bios, the graphics will start.

I used the BIOS that vuurVOS provided me, and the video card came back to life.

Thank you all very much for your help, I leave the reference video that I used to make the jumper in the BIOS of the graphics card.

This was especially difficult for me, since I do not speak native English, but thanks to all of you I was able to solve my problem, you are the best.

Im glad the riser worked because most times they cause problems with flashing
