What's wrong with my RX Vega?

My Vega 56 flashed to a 64 has been working perfectly for weeks. Until I decided to uninstall the driver I had installed and reinstall it.

It gives me a 1603 error after the install and I notice that everything but the AMD Display Driver and the HD Audio install correctly.

I've tried using Display Driver Uninstaller in safe mode, I've tried previous versions of AMD Drivers, I switched back to the backup flash on the card and it is still the same,

No program in windows recognizes the card whatsoever, games do not work. Does anyone one have any suggestions?

 

 

I attached a picture of what it looks like in device manager.

Yes, you won't get more shaders doing it but your clock speeds will increase to the default Vega 64 clock speeds and your HBM will get more voltage allowing you to overclock it further.

Any suggestions for my issue?

Oh, so kinda like an RX 480 > RX 580 flash.

 

did you originally install VEGA 56 drivers, then flash, then reinstall VEGA 64 drivers, or did you just flash right off the bat, and then install VEGA 64 drivers clean? maybe the driver installer has trouble on a "VEGA 64" with only 56 CUs

Buy a coffin, bury it in your backyard. It's brick. RIP

Vega 56 and 64 drivers are the same, but I did flash while I had a driver installed and nothing happened until I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a few weeks later

Yeah, it probably just has trouble installing on a flashed VEGA 56. maybe unflashing, installing, then reflashing would help?

I've recently switched back to the 56 Bios using the switch on the card, I only modified 1 of the 2 VBIOS on the gpu. So as of right now I'm trying to install the drivers like the card was unmodified.

Uninstalling drivers for a GPU and then having it magically brick would be a very interesting occurrence, wouldn't it? I think this is fixable tbh.

The problem is with my current installation of Windows as I tried it on another hard drive and it's working perfectly, does any one know how I could fix windows so it can allow drivers to be installed on my GPU correctly? I already tried DDU, any suggestions?

I mean, it's less then a footlong and it still works. I just need to figure out what in windows is causing it not to work, I can't figure it out.

Had a similar issue with my brother’s gaming laptop. I tried reinstalling his Nvidea driver because it wouldn’t update. Turned out to be a directory issue. I replaced his HDD with an SSD hence reinstalling windows. 

 

My suggestion:

Install windows on a different drive and try it on that. 

Or if you don’t have a spare storage driver, I suggest backing up important files on an external storage device and then reinstalling windows.
