ManyStrongWords Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I will be working on a tutorial after I get my RX 480 working if you want to wait. You should be basically doing this tutorial, but with Gerald's files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYXMHE Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I try to do it but I can not download the file package, and it seems to me that AWDFLASH which I found did not work properly or its wrong version Edited July 2, 2016 by STYXMHE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYXMHE Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Spoiler thats step by step what I get and when I type the name of the bios is not happening nothing but flashes inscription please wait but absolutely nothing happens for a long time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyStrongWords Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Update on the RX 480 DONT BUY THE REFERENCE MODEL AS IT WONT WORK FOR THIS ADAPTOR. It works in the adapter and everything until the card goes under load and dies because it cannot get enough power through the PCI-E slot (you can google for more info on this issue). I'm going to be returning my reference card and wait for an aftermarket version with two 6 pins or one 8 pin so the power draw through the PCI-E is less. @STYXMHE I guess wait a week until you get promoted to a user and can download those files or look through the posts and see if there is an alternate download. I should have a tutorial put together by then. Edited July 2, 2016 by ManyStrongWords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Thanks for the notice. I was going to order 480. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYXMHE Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 maybe someone could try downloading it for me and send me to my e-mail? Please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyStrongWords Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Sapphire RX480 Nitro is what i will probably be picking up as it has an 8 pin connector. AMD said they are releasing a fix for the power issue on the 5th, but I think i'd still rather have the non-reference version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyStrongWords Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) MAJOR CHANGE to setup: Just Run the 2.07 EXE MAKE SURE ALL USB AND ETHERNET CABLES ARE UNPLUGGED MAKE SURE BACKFLASHING IS ENABLED IN THE BIOS MUST HAVE WINDOWS 10 https://mega.nz/#!M04jhbqA!jrAhvWiEwSrtx6TlJ4HiZNOUXLi62mh0t1ZZsI-Q5A8' Extra: Also make sure to uninstall drivers for video cards as you switch them them out. Not the 750m drives but I went from a 6670 to the RX 480 and needed to wipe them. Gerald you can remove your uploaded bios as I was just trying 2.07 with Windows 7 which does not work. I just now tried 2.07 with Windows 10 and it works with the setup for 2.07 being much easier. Edited July 2, 2016 by ManyStrongWords Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYXMHE Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) I have bios 2.07 and windows 10 but for me does not work. I just had a black screen I will try again soon Edited July 2, 2016 by STYXMHE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I have grabbed two old graphic cards from a friend (MSI GT430 4GB) and GT520 just for testing. Getting a black screen on both of them. and laptop keeps rebooting every ~30secs Tried with (BIOS 2.04 EC 3.05) and (2.07EC/BIOS). the result is the same. Does it have anything to do with the fact i have Windows 10 UEFI? do I have to install it as legacy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyStrongWords Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Maybe, I have Legacy and so does Gerald. Do you no longer get the startup sound with the GPU installed? I got the sound and had to let it sit for about 5 min then the laptop screen comes up and you can install drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerald Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Have you checked the BIOS settings? I have uploaded them a few comments before. ManyStrongWords got the adapter under Win10 running. No idea if UEFI or not. But I guess this is not the reason for your issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 i matched the bios and the settings, windows doesnt seem to boot at all with those gpus. and yes no startup sounds :/ It could be bcoz of those gpus are old and they use pcie 2.0 interface, or it has to do with UEFI(but i doubt it). im gonna try couple more scenarios and let you guys know.

STYXMHE Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Tesla how to check if the win10 is UEFI or not? Edited July 2, 2016 by STYXMHE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManyStrongWords Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 It is in your BIOS under the BOOT tab. Boot Mode as legacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STYXMHE Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 then I have a legacy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 i have tried to boot using another hdd with win10(legacy) and it gave me the same symptoms. so we can safely conclude that UEFI has nothing to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
