Board fails to identify RX580 chip paired with i3-1200F processor
My setup includes an RX580 with 8GB RAM, an I3-12100F processor, and 16GB DDR4 memory. My current issues are: I can't display video on the RX580, the motherboard displays an error indicating no video output signal, and even after using the same CPU and motherboard as another system, it works. I've tried various drivers and BIOS settings, but nothing helps. Have you considered alternative solutions?
The GTX 1030 likely runs on its built-in power supply, while the RX 580 requires an external PCIe power source. This could indicate a PSU problem if the card isn’t initializing properly. Check for any indicators or signals from the card to confirm its status.
It seems the card isn’t fitting properly due to alignment issues. One card works while the other doesn’t on certain boards. The problem might lie in the finger placement—perhaps the gold fingers aren’t making solid contact with the slot. It can feel like the card is fully seated when it’s not. Make sure the card is completely inserted into the slot. Also, the metal tabs on the GPU end that guide the card could be misaligned, especially if they’re slightly bent. This might prevent the card from fitting even though it seems to go in. If the card simply doesn’t connect well, that’s another factor—some cards behave differently depending on the board setup.
From my perspective, your reasoning seems to point toward a potential problem. However, it doesn't align with the situation before installing the Adrenalin & Pro drivers, where it functioned properly. It might be a driver-related issue, but on my test bench (using a 1155 CPU socket, initially unknown), after installing the drivers, performance improved significantly—except for sluggishness during gameplay.
I talked about the two cards you mentioned as being the same; they only started matching consistently one day. Once they worked well, the other became inconsistent. Another card I own behaves oddly depending on the board I use—it functions differently even when set up in similar ways. I think it would help to clean the edges of the cards thoroughly, as a small oversight could be causing the issue and fixing that might restore normal operation.
Okay....I may have found the solution and it's not too bizarre or anything. I took the motherboard out, pushed the RX580 down into the PCI with my hand with the most pressure I could give it (Not bending the motherboard obviously), continue holding it down while booting Windows 10 and install normal drivers. Now after restarting (While still pushing the GPU down into the PCI slot), it doesn't crash or anything. It simply returns to normal. I'm not 100% sure this is the permanent fix, but hey, it seems to be the solution FOR NOW.
It occurred once more following the Windows update. It seems to be a driver or software issue rather than a hardware fault. Disappointing. Later update, I reinstalled the graphics card and it resolved itself.
