Question MSI R9 280x 3gb gone wild

[ellada.eine.mia]

My gpu crashed and since then im only able to boot through safe mode with the following results. Tried using the 2nd bios , same result. This happened using my hdmi port, never used the dvi one to test if it works since my monitor doesnt support it. I replaced it with an older one i found and confirmed its a gpu problem. I also did clean uninstall of any gpu drivers i might had, clean install of the proper amd ones, same. Is this fixable? first time i see a problem like that and it doesnt seem a nice one... Also it doesnt seem to be a heat problem since temps are bellow 70°C https://streamable.com/wzk1k

Well I could only suggest to try re-flash the bios.
Also your video isnt avalilable.

Hmm, it may be issue with Vram itself (Memory ram of the GPU) soo it may be dead end.

havent tried flashing bios cause i was told that only reflow or reballing would fix it and flashing bios would only make it worse

The artifacting and inability to take drivers suggests to me that the VRAM is dying. I'd be shocked if either a BIOS update or some time in the oven will fix it. If you choose to bake the GPU, you're not supposed to use an oven that will later be used for food because of the chemicals released.

In rare cases as I had GTX 960, had rarely video output and it would not install drivers (GPU Driver error 43?).
If you Installed drivers it would artifact or not run games at all.
But in my case installing rev 1.x instead of rev2. bios fixed.

I was trying to say in a different way, to try to do easy things, then harder ones.
(Example you would not start surgery on someone if you dont know if he has tumor).

problem starts as soon as i enter bios.. i dont think its a software problem anymore
