New GPU (7800xt) not posting

[Whopzan]

Hello everyone!

I just got myself a 7800xt that doesnt power up at all (using Corsair cx750 psu), no fans or anything.

The 2080S is having no problems.

Tried DDU, didnt do anything to resolve the problem.

So either the motherboard/bios doesnt accept the new cars, or the card is DOA. 

Does anyone have any info about what could be wrong?

Currently using bios version 460H6W0X.105. (05/19/2020)

Hello, the newest version is Bios_b460h6-em._v107. @Major_ToM  published it here

--> https://community.medion.com/t5/Operating-Systems/WHY-CAN-T-I-FIND-MEDION-BIOS-FILE/m-p/152131/highl...

Did you add the extra 8 pin power source / yellow cables with black plugs to the graphic card? May be it gets too little power.

Thanks for the answer!

The CMD pops up and then closes down within a second. I've disabled my antivirus-programs, but it still closes just as fast as it opens.

I've tried running the flashSYS.bat with CMD as administrator, it just shows  ¨10 - Error: Unable to load driver.¨

I have hopes that 107 version BIOS should fix my problem, or come to a decision on what's wrong, firmware or hardware.

I indeed did connect two 8-pin connectors for PCIE to it. So it's either BIOS that needs to be updated och the card itself that is faulty.

You decompressed first the 00_Bios_b460h6-em._v107.zip into a new folder, eg C:\Bios

You did navigate the prompt within the  cmd window opend as Admin  to C:\ Bios

But there were some more PCs wtith the B460-EM boards which didn't succeed in flashing.

So then you have to ask @Major_ToM what to do.

I got it working! 

I had to disable everything (3 tings to uncheck)  in core isolation (not sure in the English word for it in Windows). Seems like a security update in 2022 began blocking amifldrv64.sys, as it's classes as an "unsafe" driver.

Then i could get the file running, and my bios is now updated! 

Thanks for the help!

Congratulation! Marvellous.

What about the GPU 7800xt ? Does it work now with the updated bios?

Thanks! Never been so close to regress to having sticks and stones as a hobby instead of computers!

As of now, it's still dead. I'll go test it in a friends rig on Sunday, so i know for a fact if the card is bad or not.
