Hello
I am new here so please bare with me.
I have a SOYO RX 5700 XT with a problem. It doesn’t POST and doesn’t let me use the PC, even if I use the integrated graphics of the CPU. I have to set it to IGD in ‘Initiate Graphics Adapter’ and enable ‘IGD Multi-Monitor’ in the BIOS, then I can enter Windows normally.
After that I launched GPU-Z and got this (picture). I thought it was a driver issue, so I removed the drivers using DDU and installed new ones. During installation, it reaches between 50% and 80%, then the PC freezes and a blue screen appears (picture). After that I had to force shutdown because it was stuck.
When I powered it on again, this time it freezes at the Windows logo, and I have to force shutdown again. This keeps repeating until I go into Safe Mode and remove the drivers using DDU. After that, I can enter Windows normally again.
I repeated this process with different drivers and the same thing happens, except with version 21.10.2 which reaches 89% then crashes.
I thought maybe it’s a BIOS issue, so I flashed it with a PowerColor BIOS (I know I should use a SOYO BIOS but none of them would flash). The result in GPU-Z stayed the same, only the BIOS version changed from
017.001.000.068.00000 to 0.17.001.000.068.015207 to 017.001.000.049.00000.
Windows after it detect the card as a "Microsoft Basic Display Adapter" will attempt a Driver update on it's on and when that happens the pc becomes sluggish and freeze permanently and I also have to force a shutdown and the same thing happens but sometimes the automatic repairs do a fix its on by deleting some of the drivers and windows return back but gpu-z still display the same thing.
As a last attempt to diagnose it I launched the PCIE render test to see what it could give me and the test started but it was so slow like it was running in 4 fps and the gpu was getting hotter it reached to 92 degrees Celsius (Probably because of the bad thermal pate that I used).
Also, the back of the card is not hot, only slightly warm around the GPU core and VRAM. It’s not a power issue because I tested with an HD 7970 and HD 5850 and it works fine. I’m also sure the card is installed correctly.
I put the card to the repair shop and he did a reball to it (the gpu chip the vram all passed the test) and the technician said the card put an image for about 1 second it went back to how it was and he managed to flash the original bios back but its still the same but now whenever I try to install drivers the system just freeze and no BSOD pop up and I should add that for some reason when I open the amdvbflash program the card will display 8192mb memory in gpu-z and when I shut the program it will go back to 0mb.
Any help will be greatly appreciated, I want to know what the problem and if there is a fix I am really heartbroken.
