[SOLVED] Bricked My Rx 580 8GB MSI

[shubh123]

Hello everyone I really need help so I got a Rx 580 and I noticed that it was used for mining and it had a mining bios so I tried downloading a no mining bios and everything went well until I had the restart my pc and nothing showed on my screen there was no signal on my screen I’m currently panicking right now! Everything in the pc is running I MADE A BACKUP OF THE WORKING BIOS ON MY DESKTOP BUT NOW I CANT GET ANY SIGNAL JUST A BLACK SCREEN!

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

And the system will not even give you the option to access BIOS - correct?

Will the system boot into Safe Mode?

Does the pc support iGPU? If so, try removing the GPU and boot using integrated graphics.

Ryzen 5 2600
Rx 580 8gb MSI
700 w smart series thermaltake
Asus b450m-a
16gb oloy ram 3200mzh

yes I have no option for bios nothing is posting on my monitor no safe mode nothing just no display screen I don’t have a intergrated cpu so I don’t think is can use IGPU

Borrow something like a GT710 to put in another PCIe slot to boot and see if Windows still detects the RX580. If it does, you can attempt re-flashing from there.

If it does not, then you will need an SPI programmer that supports your GPU's vBIOS chip with appropriate adapters to re-program the chip. Using an IC clip, you can do this without having to de-solder the SPI flash.

First then, the motherboard:

Confirm that I did indeed find the correct motherboard user manual.

Second:

As I understand the specs the existing Ryzen 5 2600 does not support IGPU.

Try clearing the RTC RAM per physically numbered Page 1-3 of the motherboard's User Manual.

Use a jumper versus a screwdriver to connect the pins. Screwdrivers, etc.. have a tendency to "slip" etc. and cause even more problems.

Then try all again.

My motherboard only has one pci slot and there a 2 more but they are small

yes right motherboard

You can use an x1 PCIe riser like the ones used in crypto mining rigs to get around having only one usable x16 slot.

I've used one of those to unbrick an RX580 that wouldn't POST presumably due to bad BIOS but still got detected in OS.
