Morning,

I have this 480 8gb (Dataland) that was giving issues mining randomly. Put it into my system to find out what it is & initial boot there wasn't a GPU clock or Pixel/Texture fillrate registered in GPU-X. Decided then to flash which initially wasn't able to access ROM, 2nd/3rd attempt it was able to & flashed it with both the Dataland BIOS & the Red Devil BIOS (same card). Default & boost clock's are both registering as the boost in GPU-Z (1330mhz) but does downlclock in idle states.

On both BIOS' the card freezes under any load (heaven benchmark), it runs windows & low load scenarios just fine but freezes up under anything significant for about 30s-1m. I'm hoping it's just something software related but I may have also had a bad riser & hoping to not have essentially bricked the card on a short or something to the effect. The last thing I cannot seem to find a reference to is Device_ID so that I can cross-check it is the correct ID as that may also have an effect on it.

I'll go into hive & give try reflash with ROM unlock etc if windows doesn't work but obviously it'd be more ideal that it gets done in windows.

As always any suggestions are much appreciated & TIA:)

EDIT: Looked over this but seems the core is receiving large amounts of voltage to the core @1.22v in both polaris editor & HWinfo64 - although polaris is more concerning as it states blady 6.5v:ROFLMAO::(

EDIT: Seems to be Memory related, any memory load causes the freeze & a black screen flash which then resets operation as wattman resets the profiles to default. I fucken hope my blady memory didn't die on this xD

Use a heat gun on the vram, and core hold 10 cm away and bring it closer for 2 to 3 mins use a adjustable heat gun max heat 450 degrees,not higher I fixed alot of GPU's using this method.

I'm not baking the card right off the bat. If I even do unfortunately, crash happens under memory load (I've been testing this now), core can ramp up but as soon as memory has a load, it crashes. So more than likely will be fruitless to bake the core.

Nor do I have a heatgun lol

Promise it works,have you tried to load bios on hive os ?

I didn't say it didn't work xD I said I'm not doing it, nor do I have the tools to do so either. Baking is a last resort, not first.

I have done many things, loading the bios is irrelevant because I've gone through about 3-5 now. There only one or two more BIOS things I can do which I doubt will do anything as I'm leaning towards a hardware fault at this point.
 
I had that once with a gigabyte card..and it was the bios...would mine for a few minutes then blue screen...and randomly blue screen in windows...I reloaded the original bios and it was fine....
