Bought a second hand mining GPU, Help

[bahara]

Hello everyone

As stated in the title I bought a second hand mining gpu. The problem is it has a mining BIOS on it.
At the moment I'm using a 2400g but my new monitor (Dell SE2717HR) is not able to display the BIOS for some reason. The only way i can get into my PC with the GPU in the motherboard is by removing the 6-pin connector. I hoped that it would allow me to flash the GPU BIOS but when i try to open ATI winflash 2.8 version it says theres no deditated graphics.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance

Wait, what mining GPU has a single 6-pin connector?

Sorry, its an 8 pin. its the MSI Gaming X RX580

Well, you're gonna have to have the 8-pin connected.

If you can't get it to display with the GPU connected to your monitor, use your motherboard and Ryzen 2200G graphics. I'm not sure what all you've tried.

If you can get in to Windows with the GPU and the 8-pin in your motherboard, then you can try ATI Winflash again. You can also use ATIwinflash from the command prompt to force the bios flash. There are tutorials on how to do this.

While the 8-pin is connected, theres no signal into my display. I've tried connecting the hdmi to motherboard directly hoping that it would use the integrated graphics but only a blank screen. Same with connecting my display to the graphics card, blank screen.
So i unplugged the 8-pin, with the hopes to access the bios and force it to use integrated graphics so it would boot when i connect the 8-pin again. But the issue with not being able to access the bios from my 2400g is hindering me.
Is there any way that I can absolutely force integrated graphics in windows while the 8-pin is connected?

Try removing the GPU, booting up the system and making sure the iGPU is the default in the BIOS, save and exit. Plug the 580 back in and have the monitor connected to the motherboard.

Thats the issue, I cant access the bios because of my display combination (Dell SE2717HR & Ryzen 2400g)

Why not? Hit the DEL key repeatedly on boot until you enter bios.

Theres an issue with this monitor and ryzen apus (https://www.dell.com/community/Monitors/SE2717H-current-input-timing-not-supported/td-p/6116794)

Well that's a half-way useless monitor from Dell.

I suppose you will have to connect a different monitor to see the bios.

I quite like this monitor but it does suck in that way.

Thank you for your replies

So you're not getting any display from the RX 580 when you have it hooked up to your monitor and the 8-pin connected?
