Sorry to inform you about this, and sorry we weren't able to assist you in finding a fix. You're welcome to check the help section. If the repair shop is reputable, they could potentially recover your GPU. I've noticed GPUs can be revived from a dead state by re-flashing the VBIOS. They should consider offering that solution. Otherwise, you may need to upgrade to a new GPU. A fresh RX 6600 costs around $225 and offers roughly 75% improvement over your 580. There aren't many alternatives below that price point, so keep that in mind.
I’m sure I’ll still make changes to fix the main issues first, then upgrade the GPU later. It might happen that the GPU comes down in price before the CPU, which could be good for the 3DV AM5 CPUs. For now, I’ll stick with Geek Squad since they’re the only option I know locally unless there’s a better choice.
It’s not harmful to give it a shot, even though opinions about their work are mostly negative. They probably aim to push you toward a new GPU. Reflipping the RX 580 seems unlikely. It’s hard to say if they’ll attempt to boot with another GPU. They might dismiss the situation when the debug LED flashes VGA and then charge for it. I’m not sure, but you could be dealing with one of the top Geek teams.
This appears to be the standard configuration. I didn't realize it was set this way. Please confirm if you've already entered safe mode and removed the Afterburner app. If not, boot into safe mode, locate the Afterburner entry in apps, and uninstall it before restarting normally. A repair shop can also handle this process. For a black or blank screen, refer to the support guide provided.
Thanks for the details—I'll remember this if it comes up. Could look into finding a good repair shop nearby. Appreciate the advice!
You're welcome again. I'm sure this can be resolved. Just for fun, I thought it might help to try starting with just one RAM stick and testing various slots. Sometimes unexpected issues can appear unrelated to the graphics card. Overclocking too aggressively can lead to strange behavior.
It's actually quite odd that I only have one stick of RAM, right? The computer still felt pretty strange. I kept trying to move it to another slot but nothing worked. Thanks for the advice. Honestly, I’ve been thinking about upgrading for a while now, so it’s not like I’m facing a total failure. I’ll just look for something that can handle my 1440p display at a reasonable speed.
I understand. It was worth giving it a try, thanks for the encouragement. The only alternatives that come to mind are testing the 580 on another machine or checking if it boots up. Likely, the upgrade will arrive soon. For a device capable of handling your 1440p display smoothly, I recommend considering an RX 6700 XT. These units are available for about $350 and deliver solid performance at that resolution.
