having problems with amdgpu drivers

cj09beira · November 7, 2018

so a few days ago i was doing surgery on my 7850, which seems to have released its magic smoke (not literally which is even more annoying) during the surgery i tried to boot on my linux partition, it didn't boot completely, and today that i had to use it again i find myself with what seems to be a lack of display driver, i am running ubuntu 18.04 (back to stock kernels, tried on other kernels and the same thing happens)

here is what i tried until now, while trying to find the problem:

couple others but rip those logs

is there a way to reinstall it, problem is the drivers i am using are the ones that come in the kernel itself, so i dont know what to do.

tried to update to the latest mesa drivers but it didnt seem to change anything

any help is appreciated

Why it's called rx 480? Shouldn't it be a 7850?

Anyway it seems an hardware fault to me, is Windows working fine?

that card died, and i was back to my main rx 480, i actually got it working, by installing a new kernel, (event though it didn't applied completely(i installed 3 of the 4 files because 1 was only available unsigned and that causes problems for me), but hey i am not going to complain )
