OpenCL not detected/working with RX 580 / Win10

[porina]

Anyway, system is 6600k + RX 580, running Win10. All was fine until I stole the GPU to run crossfire on another system, where it ran intel gfx for a bit, and I later put the GPU back in. First time I noticed something was wrong was when boinc failed to detect it. I didn't fix it then as I was running CPU projects. Then I wanted to put mining back on for some quick extra heating as it is cooling off again. Wont start.

 

The fixes I tried earlier is to install on top the latest Adrenalin driver, didn't help. I also googled for OpenCL software, found something random on AMD's site which looks more like it was for Win8,1, and... that did nothing also.

 

I haven't tried DDU + fresh install of driver yet, as the system is only remotely accessed and I've ran out of time for one day to get physical.

It is 1 of 3 things. bios needs update on gpu, Run DDU and reinstall, or your SOL and something prob solder wise has started to break lose

Why would the card bios have anything to do with it? I have 3 of the exact same card bought at the same time. It is only this system that is playing up. It's almost certainly software. It seems to work fine as long as you don't want OpenCL. 3D graphical stuff is normal. I'd put the blame 50/50 on MS or AMD at the moment, as both Win10 and AMD drivers still suck in different ways.

I was just listing the possibilities not saying that is the cause. I would try a system restore to a date before your removed the card while the card is installed. That technically should fix it. worth a try?

I usually disable system restore as it never worked on the rare occasions I tried it in the past, so it is nothing more than a waste of disk space. It has a higher chance of breaking the system than fixing it. I'll go back to my original plan of DDU once I get physical access.

Ok, done DDU, reinstalled driver. Still no OpenCL. Is the driver broke, or is Windows broke...

[porina]

I gave it another go just now while I was updating other things on the system. This time, I DDU both Intel and nvidia too, even though neither are installed or active. Clean start. Reinstall Adrenalin 18.3.4, OpenCL is back, compute option is present, and all is well

 

I'll file this under "one of those weird computer things".
