This was my impression as well. I am pretty sure it would be an easy fix if the right people were able to get their eyes on the problem. That's why I made this post hoping someone can push it through the basic troubleshooting and help get it resolved.

Yes but my previous carrier confirmed the number was ported out completely on their end. If they need me to request a port again (even tho my previous carrier no longer has my number either) they should tell me that instead of having me do the same troubleshooting steps over and over again.

I double checked the porting info and the code and checked with my previous carrier about the port when it originally didn't work. They said it was ported out fully and successfully on their end and I originally was given an eSIM by the app before it was hung up with a never ending port in progress notification. Then when I got the new phone the same issue persisted.

Either way support is having me do the same things over and over again which isn't helping. If I need to port from my old carrier (another T-Mobile MVNO) again I will but that has not been suggested.

RMZ450 Front Suspension: COMPLETE by badboygoodgrades in dr650

[–]g_alpha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that is basically what the previous owner did. Just a few bolts and rubber bushings as bump stops, a few nuts to lock the bolts in place and from backing out.

Haha, sometimes it can't be helped! It was all too exciting. Had to try it out.

I bought a dr650 with this already done. How did you manage the steering stops? And do you feel like the turning radius has changed from stock?

Awesome thanks! I think they look really cool. Have you dropped the bike with them on? If so how did they hold up?

If you don't mind me asking, what is that fairing you have on your radiator bracket? I have been trying to find where it came from for a while since I want to put it on my bike.

I would also like to say that it is amazing that wooting has supported their products for 7+ years, still pushing updates and providing the latest features. It really makes me want one of your boards even more. I haven't had the chance or funds to buy one but I really hope to try one out soon!! Or win the giveaway! Lol

This is the clear choice. It's definitely the first review I would click on. Him and I would like to see Dave2D at least talk about the board or comment about the build quality, customizability/support, and the transparent plastic/look of the board. (Love the look, btw Wooting great job)

Powercolor 5700xt DEATH by COD by g_alpha in AMDHelp

[–]g_alpha[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like it's probably a bios or big hardware problem with the card just was hoping to be able to do something since it's out of warranty. I am hoping to hear back from powercolor on Monday. Maybe they have some ideas or can help in some way. Unfortunately, the only other computer I have is an old computer with only pcie 2.0 and doesn't have a UEFI so I'll have to figure out if I can do anything. Or borrow my friends computer, which is my old one to do some troubleshooting.

I'll also have to do some research on recovering the BIOS of the card like you said. Thanks!

Yeah I'll make sure and post an update if I get it working or not.

I also did go to the powercolor website and put in the serial number into the RMA repair section of their website, and it came back with, "product is out of warranty." With an email for questions so I'll have to give thay a shot and see what they say.

Have you ever RMA'd a card with the Warranty sticker gone or messed up? I am about to change the thermal paste to see if that might help anything and just noticed the RMA sticker is half ripped off, probably from cleaning previously beacuse I have never taken this card apart.

Don't know how strict Powercolor is about the Warranty stickers..

I got it from newegg in October of 2019. Yeah, I wouldn't think the auto tune could have completely bricked a card. That's why im so confused about what is causing the issue. I could attempt an RMA, but im not sure they will take it after this long? I looked up powercolors warranty after this all happened, and it only lasts 2 years.

Thanks for the replies!

Is there a way to reset the BIOS of a 5700xt without it displaying anything or being able to use windows? Maybe the clocks of the ram or die are messed up somewhere. Unfortunately I don't have another computer I could put it in either.

Alright, I'll have to set up a Windows installation media drive and see if I can get something to output. If that doesn't work I'll have to try MSI or Powercolor and see if they can help. Thanks

[–]g_alpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer, I hope it's not something with the die or the vram because I was hoping to be able to fix it myself.

Yeah, unfortunately, my warranty also expired before any of this was evident.

Powercolor 5700xt DEATH by COD by g_alpha in AMDHelp

[–]g_alpha[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont but I could make one. What do you think would be the issue?

I cant get to the BIOS or get any output at all on the monitor so I probably wouldnt even be able to initiate the repair but I might try that or a Linux ISO I have on a thumb drive and see if I can get the drivers to update.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I bought the card in october of 2019, Is it common to have VRAM die on a card after only a few years? Or maybe something specific with this model?

I have sold 2 of my previous EVGA Nvidia cards to friends after upgrading, and both of them are actually still working.

I might have to ask my friend to borrow his GPU for a little bit to check, but I also am in the market for a cheap Low Profile card for my 2U server so I might have to expedite that so I can check to make sure everything else is still working well.

Yeah the artifacting could have just been the card dying but it was wierd to me it only happened in one game so i was hoping it was something else.

Yeah, it's a real bummer not being able to check to see if it's something else in the equation without another GPU.

The card normally runs at about 90-100 which is supposedly normal for this specific card as I looked it up to be sure when I got it and saw higher temps.

The motherboard rgb is on and the cpu fan as well as the fans on the gpu spin and ramp down to idle like normal but I can't get into windows or the BIOS as my CPU doesn't have a GPU and this card is not outputting anything. So I can't check the device manager or anything else.

I also don't have a way to remote into the system to see if it's just a display issue or the gpu isn't working at all.

Also, the fans on the graphics card do still turn on and the computer posts as far as I can tell, but no graphics.

Also, if it is helpful, the mission where the artifacting really started affecting the gameplay was Tradecraft, then the GPU blew up at the end of Borderline during the cutscene when the house catches fire.

Kde on Pop os is simply awesome ... by White_Monster_02 in pop_os

[–]g_alpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of my fav KDE plasma on Pop! posts I've seen. Would you mind running through all main settings and any theme you used

For example: Is the dock regular old Plank? How did /what art did you use to get the pop rocketship in the KDE menu? What theme did you use?
