Thanks Ed! I did have some bad luck huh?
Once the new card gets here and is working (hopefully) il mark this thread as solved.

No adapters. With the rx580 i was using hdmi, had same problem with different hdmi cables and monitors.
With this ati sapphire x1650 im using a dvi-d cable. It was brand new in package, traded a...

Well, there's a place near me that has TONS of pc hardware, so i picked up one of these for $5.

Not a bad deal i think.

Anyway, i installed it and I'm still getting artefacts on screen.....

Yeah, i have a 3 year warranty. I sent it out for RMA 2 days ago. If all goes well I'll have one that works in a week or two. Im just hoping the bad card was the reason for my black screen when...

What program do you use to measure temps? I dont know of any problems with amd gpu's but I've heard some things about x series ryzen's incorrectly reporting temps. Offset anywhere from 6-20c

Specs for the asus rog rx580 strix show the fan doesnt even kick on until temps rise above 55c. This load test from guru3d shows 66c.

BugMeister Wish i would have seen this earlier, i already sent the gpu out for rma. Going to be beating myself up for not looking into that cooler flag first. Guess I'll make sure its wired properly,...

The offender:

@Elifawvrtt I ran DDU and removed the AMD display drivers. Now for display the Microsoft basic display drivers are installed. Not getting the black screen anymore when booting into windows normally....

I had high hopes for this forum. Thought someone would definitely be able to help. Looking at some other threads, it seems no one gives a shit about people's black screen issues. Oh well..

Looking at those screen shots now, from my phone, i realize there is no artifacts. What does that mean? I also realize now that due to artifacts showing on bios it isn't a driver issue. Would that be...

Thanks @BugMeister. I've tried many versions now. None will work, Gives me unsigned driver error every time.

I dont understand...

Could either of these flags be related to my problem? ...

I tried installing the new Radeon drivers from Brink's stickied thread but they are not signed :(

Why cant i edit my original post?

Got a new pre-built pc. I think the gpu could be defective. Artifacts on screen (pixels, symbols, lines) White pixels on screen in bios and in windows there is 2 vertical lines 2ish inches wide with...
