Here's my situation:
AsRock X370 Taichi
Ryzen 1700
G.Skill FlareX 16GB
MSI RX580 Gaming X 8GB
eVGA SuperNova G3
Samsung EVO850
1. Used ATIFlash 2.74 to backup my RX580 ROM
2. Used Polaris BIOS Editor to edit ROM by copying setting from 1:1750 to 1:2000
3. Saved BIOS under a new file name
4. Used ATIFlash to upload and write edited BIOS to RX580
5. BIOS Flashed successfully, requests reboot ---> yes
6. On reboot, I get nothing but a black screen with AsRock 62 error code. I have also experienced error code 0d after some troubleshooting.
I have attempted the following steps and still have a black screen:
- Replaced RX580 with older R290 I dug out of a box
- Reset CMOS - twice - removed battery, power supply, moved jumper, waited 15 minutes, moved jumper back, waiting 10 minutes, restored power
- Installed RX580 and R290 in every PCIe slot in the Taichi
- Tried booting off single stick of memory - swapped DIMMs
- Removed all unnecessary items from the system
-Tried both DVI and HDMI outputs on both cards
- Tried multiple monitors
-Reseated all power cables to motherboard
-Completely torn down and re-built system (CPU reseated)
-All USB devices including front panel are disconnected
I followed the Polaris mod instructions exactly, made no other changes, and had no other programs running when I was doing it. I have contacted AsRock support and unless a miracle happens, will have to RMA. I'm having a hard time seeing how a VGA BIOS flash can brick a motherboard. I've been working with and building systems for 15 years and this is a first.
I do not have a VGA output on the motherboard / onboard video.
For the life of me, I can't understand how a GPU BIOS flash could brick a Northbridge.
