Go to solution Solved by anton_kr,

Followed some steps on some other post about a bad BIOS, I had edited the bios of the gpu about a year ago but never realy trouble with it.

So the other day I was mining with my 2 rx 470's and I decided to turn them off in order to clean out the dust. The next morning (I forgot to clean them) I rebooted the system to get back with mining but my main graphics card didnt boot propperly. So I swapped them over, thinking not to much about it. The system finaly turned on and I noticed that only 1 card was running and the other didnt, turns out it didnt even got detected. After some trail and error I preformed a fresh install of windows 10, installed the driver and still nothing showing up. I realy dont know what to do / what happend because I can't even find him in device manager. any tips / suggestions?

Quite odd then, have you tried getting the system running with only the broken RX 470 installed?

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

Yea, on the startup screen it scales to 1080 and it looks like everything is working but when windows is loading, it scales down to 1024* 768 and the pc switches to the intel CPU

Can you force it back to 1080? And how is gaming performance? Does the AMD driver recognize the card?

No, the card doesnt get recognised at all, gaming is a joke since the CPU is only a intel celeron 1840

Might be a far fetch but i would try it in a different system with a different OS.

It's dead.. quick RMA the card.. and advice from expert, use your Internal Graphic to display not your PCI-E Graphic..

Yea, found an older forum also about a rx 470. Someone suggested reinstalling the bios would work, did that and it works like a charm

Great, just remember it's better to use your intel graphic to display. Than your gpu, gpu is solely for mining.
