I am trying to flash my RX 480 8GB nitro but I have ran to this problem, I know there are atleast two threats that talk about this but I think I/we could still get something from this discussion.
I have tried:
Two different slots in my Desktop PC, both PCIE (no riser), same result. Latest drivers I belive 17.4
I have tried to do the same in my mining rig, tried in the first PCIE slot (with riser) and also on one big slot (no riser), same result. On this machine I have also tried this on 17.4 drivers and 15.12, same result.
btw I flipped my bios switch to the correct position for flashing.
Since this is my first time trying to flash a card I am a bit scared, from the answers I have read I think I could still do this via command line but I am (I think reasonably) scared since it already is giving me problems and some threads about this topic seem to indicate this error is something that could happen after you flash your card (at first it worked, after flashing it doesn't).
Would you recommend to flash the card with other methods (via command line) or can this be fixed, or should I just stay away? I would also like to know why ATIWinflash won't work with my card in two differents machines since this is a brand new card which I have only used to play games.
Thank you all.
