I encountered problems with Secure Boot failing due to improper CSM disabling. After some investigation, I discovered that older VBIOS versions for the RX 580 might be the cause. I visited the TechPowerUp site and found the appropriate VBIOS for my card:
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/1914...192-170301
Now I’m attempting to locate a genuine OEM VBIOS to see if restoring it will allow the system to POST again. Unfortunately, I forgot to back up the original VBIOS before flashing. After updating with the VBIOS from above, the system no longer boots. However, I can still boot by setting the primary display to the iGPU. In Windows, the RX 580 is detected, and GPU-Z displays most information correctly except for three blank or unclear sections: Pixelrate, Texturerate, and Bandwidth.
I tested this on two different motherboards and two PSUs and found the same issue. Working GPUs functioned without problems.

Update your update to feature complete hardware details and operating system specifics. Provide the power supply unit specifications—including make, model, wattage, age, and condition (original, build, refurbished, used)—along with the disk drive information such as make, model, and capacity, noting its fill level. List all connected peripherals. Indicate whether the network connection is wired or wireless. PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition. Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, current usage. Include a list of all wired or wireless peripherals.

Checked on two distinct motherboards and two different PSUs, still facing the same problem.
Reviewed earlier hardware that functioned prior to the VBIO flash.
No complications with tested GPUs.

An update
I forced a flash of the vbios from this one:
https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/1917...2-170301-2
This is the STRIX Gaming TOP VBIOS.
The system will POST, but there’s some pixelation and two vertical bars on the sides of the screen.
I even tried adjusting the ROM timings to match the official ROG-STRIX-RX580-8G-GAMING card, but that stops it from POSTing.
It looks like I might actually have an older version of the ROG-STRIX-RX580-8G-GAMING.
Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any online source with the correct VBIOS or timings for this card.

Have you reached out to ASUS via their technical assistance or asked a representative who typically handles inquiries and offers further help through the ROG forums?

When you can easily take apart the card, capture an image of the VRAM chip and identify the VRAM maker it came from. Then, in the TPU vbios archive, search for the corresponding VBIO matching the memory type your card uses.

I recorded the original vbios and information before making the flash versions. The device ID is 1002 67DF - 1043 0517. So far, any flashes from techpowerup for these reasons cause the system not to POST. Based on the PCB, it seems like an integrator/OEM or Asia card might be involved. This likely explains why most of the vbios don't work. It's definitely a Samsung K4G80325FB-HC25. The PCB also displays MSIP-REM-MSQ-D000PIL.

It seems the initial flashing might have damaged some of the VRAM components. The HDMI and DVI connections function properly with the vbios provided by techpowerup for my card, but using a DisplayPort cable causes the system to fail to start. Additionally, depending on the resolution, the screen displays significant artifacts.
