RX 580 no video during boot with CSM disabled

Go to solution Solved by NunoLava1998,

Disabling CSM makes your system UEFI-only, while enabling it makes it UEFI and BIOS only. You don't need to RMA and there's no issue with leaving CSM on at all; for most motherboards it's the default option to keep it on

I just got an RX 580 to replace my RX 460 (the fan broke ☹️) and I am having a weird issue with the new card.

 

With the RX 580 installed, the system powers on but shows nothing on the screen.  No motherboard logo, no Windows loading, but... then Windows actually loads and everything works!

I reset the BIOS, by pulling the CMOS battery, and then when I rebooted, I did get a picture on the screen during boot up.

 

It seems that with CSM disabled, I do not get anything on the screen during boot.  With with CSM enabled, then I do.

 

I've searched around and I've seen things like "update your GPU's BIOS".  It says "UEFI" in GPU-Z, and oddly enough the RX 460 didn't have this issue and worked fine with CSM disabled or not.

 

Is there an issue with my RX 580 and do I need to RMA it?  Is there a way to update the GPU's BIOS without bricking anything?  Should I just leave CSM enabled even though I don't need it on?
