^ this is advised if your more of a beginner 

 

DDU didn't work, Looked promising cause the error was gone for a little while but once my pc restarted the error was back on the GPU.

It is most likely a firmware issue

Try flashing it with a consumer firmware and check if that helps 

I'm not sure on how to Flash it, Is there a sort of tutorial video you could provide or a guide to do so?

Thanks for your time.

Did you try using ddu first?

Haven't tried that before no, I'll try it as last option but i think it's a problem with the Card's BIOS.

Thanks for the idea.

Hi, Venno here.

Recently i bought a new GPU for my Computer, But it was bought second hand.

The seller had said he used the GPU for Gaming, Yet the GPU has bios problems (i think) and won't get detected by AMD's driver updaters and Windows 10.

(I think it was used for Mining.)

The problem had temporarily been fixed when i used the "atikmdag-patcher", And made the GPU work just fine until i restarted the Computer.

Is there any way to fix this problem or return a GPU adjusted for mining back to a normal stock card?

AMD Radeon RX 470

[I was thinking about flashing the card's bios but not sure on how to do it.]

Check if secure boot is enabled  and try disabling it in uefi. There is also possibility they didn't install linux at all and are just calling it "Linux" cause it doesn't' have Windows installed

She said it's enabled, But is unable to even select it to turn it off.

Did she try installing Arch? Seems like she might have, and she fucked it up.

She has only received it a hour ago, First thing that showed up was that screen in the image i put when starting the laptop.

What Linux distro is it running? How did they install it? Who installed it?

Unsure on how to find which "Linux distro" and the store she bought it from installed it i assume.

Hi, Venno here.

Someone i know bought a laptop recently but it appears that the Laptop isn't willing to start up fully.

It's an "Acer Nitro AN515-54" Linux operating system.

Once they start up the Laptop it's stuck at the booting up screen where it says to press a key to continue or skip the "startup.nsh"

We've tried going into the BIOS and check the boot tab but there's only 1 button called "EUFI_SHELL" and pretty much does nothing.

It's a newly bought laptop so don't really understand why it won't start up.

Thanks for reading and your time.

I have a macbook pro and i pretty much destroyed my GPU due to overheating or something. I forced it to use the iGPU specifically and after a few weeks it was fine and started using the original GPU again. Right now i am typing this with my overclocked GPU.

 

I say use an external monitor connected to the GPU. Check if your main monitor's cable is connected to the GPU's output and not the motherboard's output.

I've properly connected the cables and double checked if they were, And it's quite weird that my GPU would overheat since my Big tower case has 7 cooling fans which are active at all times.
And in the summer they're on max speed too to keep everything within my PC cool.

Thanks for the info though!

If it does not display anything, it's most probably broken, as the basic function of a video card is to display stuff. You could try a different monitor or a TV, but I doubt it will help. 

Thanks for the info, Guess it's time to collect some coins with the piggy jar. (Saving up)

Hi, Venno here.

A few months back i've had some problems with my Computer that makes it so i can't use my GPU anymore,

And only am able to use my motherboard's integrated GPU.

Back when i was still capable of using my GPU (Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 ~ Windforce)

All out of the sudden my PC made the sound of something disconnecting while my screen went black, And when i restarted my PC my screen stayed black.

I've searched the internet for any kind of solution on fixing this but it's quite difficult without knowing what's going on.

My brother had said my graphics card was broken, It's quite old and has been running for a long time.

But i'm unsure of it since my GPU still boots up but just won't display anything on my monitor.

I've tried 2 monitors, 2 New HDMI cables and DVI.
As well as trying a new Hard Drive and RAM.

The AMD Software was up to date too so the GPU should've been fine.

Thank you for your time, Hope someone can help.
