I have tampered with many graphics cards and changed biosIn order.
- The GPU was purchased used from a trusted seller.
- Yes. Several times actually as I've been going back and forth with the 580.
- I've used the same main 8 pin connector as the 580 but i've used two separate 6 pin connections as I had extras.
I'll have Windows up and running tomorrow and perhaps that will tell me something. Perhaps if I get into Windows then I can reset the bios or examine it at least.
To check the BIOS
Find the original BIOS from the (techpowerup) site
Extract your BIOS card using software (flash tools) (do not do this with GPUZ, it extracts incompletely)
Then compare both using the software (red bios editor).
Be sure to check whether your graphics RAM is Micron or Samsung
to find the right version to compare (gpuz)
Sorry if I interfered, but I have seen these problems several times for BIOS incompatibility or graphics RAM timing
These graphics cards usually work properly on Windows with a lower clock for gaming, but they are weak in some tasks and cause the software to crash and even the blue screen in Windows.
Just be very careful if you misplace the bios you might lose the card
If your graphics card has 2 bios, usually the silent version is tampered with and the other is healthy and ok
It is better to test both first
