AMD Radeon RX 550 (Laptop)





※ Download: Rx 550 drivers


All times an average of 3 test runs. If you have another one that you could temporarily use, doesn't even really need to fit the case as long as the motherboard power connectors are the same, which they should be unless it's out of a small form factor unit.


My ultimate goal is to be able to see both cards in OpenCL platforms list and devices list to compute math in both of them at the same time. Give me that number so I can try to see if there is a bios update available for your system. SMALL PACKAGE, BIG PUNCH The power of a full size graphics card in an incredibly small package. Dell optiplex is the computer, not the motherboard.


performance - If the point of your RX 550 was to be able to have at least minimal gaming capability, you're not going to have that with that card.


Oh, and by the way, I didn't ask what size power supply you had. I asked what the model was. It might be 500w but it might be a 500w piece of crap. Not all 500w units are even remotely close to the same quality and 75% of them cannot maintain ANYWHERE near their rated wattage. But you probably already knew that too. Ok, so you just PROBABLY answered your own question. Bottom line is, with a cheap power supply, which 90% of the time IS the issue anyhow, it's pretty much impossible to figure out what else MIGHT be wrong with the build because none of your hardware can function correctly if the power supply is not functioning correctly. A bad power supply can look like pretty much every other hardware component has failed or is failing because they ALL rely on the power supply. Power supply is no bueno, everything is no bueno. That being said, I would STILL first try running the DDU as outlined in my tutorial that I linked to above. The AMD utility isn't worth a crap. It doesn't remove bad registry entries or many of the files and folders that often cause problems. So follow the instructions, run the DDU, do a clean install of the most recent AMD drivers for your card and then see what happens. Also, if you have not already you might want to find and install the latest AMD chipset drivers off the AMD website, AFTER you run the DDU and reinstall the GPU card drivers. Since your CPU is so old, it's possible that there is simply a resource incompatibility due to the age of the hardware OR a problem with your chipset. If none of that help then I'd probably replace the PSU, actually, I'd do that anyhow. You REALLY need a better PSU, I hate to say it since you apparently just got that one, but there is is anyhow. And, if it has been a long time, or never, since you did a clean install of the Windows operating system, that's probably not a bad idea if nothing else seems to help. Something is triggering that code and if none of this works it may just be a bad card. Just found out about this too. Do NOT install the AMD Adrenaline package. Install the previous driver package. What operating system and bit version are you running. The adrenaline package is causing problems for a lot of users including problems like yours, overheating and micro-freezing. Had you installed the AMD Adrenaline package before these problems started? Run the DDU again, make sure you choose the AMD option, probably a really good idea to first boot into safe mode before running the DDU because there are some files that can't be removed in regular windows. You can boot into safe mode by pressing the shift button while you click on restart if you are in Windows 10. Select Safe mode and then once you are in Windows run the DDU. After it is done it should restart and you can then install the 17. I would download the 17. What are the EXACT specs for the hardware you are trying to use this card with? Post the exact, full model numbers for your: CPU Motherboard Power supply Memory Storage drives AND approximately how long That you know of those parts have been in service for. Once I have that information, we can go from there. Ok, well those aren't part numbers. Dell optiplex is the computer, not the motherboard. The motherboard will have a model number printed right on the motherboard somewhere. As far as the memory goes, how many modules are there? What is the voltage and latency? Are all of the memory modules exactly the same or are they mix and match? Model numbers tell us that. Power supply, while it IS helpful to know the capacity and series, it's of far greater importance to know the model number. They could sell two different 1000w units and one might be decent while the other is total trash. Fact is I happen to know that both Venus and Kinguin are known for garbage units, but there might be a few good Kinguin units out there too. These are important factors and just knowing generalized descriptions is not particularly helpful without also knowing the exact model numbers. Type: DDR2 DIMM Desktop memory Function: Non-ECC Frequency: PC2-6400U 800MHz Number of Pins: 240pin Memory capacity:2GB Memory voltage: 1. I really appreciate you helping me this far iam really learning new things Ok I install the card in the pci express lane and start up the PC then proceed to install the driver it goes through all the normal and software and it finishes and I restart after boot it shows the card in the device manager but has a yellow triangle and has code 43 no matter what I try.... If you are connecting with the monitor connected to the motherboard video output, it's not a wonder the card shows up boofed up. Is you monitor cable plugged into the video output on the motherboard or the video output on the graphics card? Because if it's connected to the graphics card, there's no way you should be able to see it borked up in device manager. It should be working at that point, and obviously IS if it is connected and you are able to see it. Otherwise, if you are connected to the motherboard video output, then you need to unplug, connect to the video card output and then see what happens. If it IS connected to the card output and you ARE seeing the remarked hardware in device manager then I would suggest that you try going into the bios and look for any settings related to the graphics card that might be relevant. Honestly though, looking at this board now that I know the model, my suspicion is that the motherboard is simply too old to support a primarily only UEFI compatible graphics card because your motherboard has a legacy bios that probably does not have any kind of bios update available. In fact, that board is so old I cannot even find any information on it on either the ASUS or Dell websites. Only on third party sites and only limited information. You probably need a newer system for this card or an older card for that board. I only have the monitor cable into the video card and I checked the bios setting and have it set to auto on the video setting... And I have the newest bios for the board.... I watched a video on YouTube with a guy that built one custom modern warfare 3 paint with a nvidia card with same specs.... Have you tried a full clean install of the OS, WITH the card installed? That would really be the only other option left. If that doesn't work, then there is either a problem with the card itself or your motherboard simply is unable to support the card. Since you say the card works fine in another system, then it has to be either a conflict in the OS or a problem with the lack of support in the motherboard firmware. If you want to do the clean install, this is how to proceed. I would use 10. If you originally had Windows 7 installed on there, and you upgraded to Windows 10, and it was a legit Windows 7 activated product key, and a legit upgrade to Windows 10 was done, then you do NOT any longer have a legit Windows 7. That has been known for a long time. Once you upgrade the system, your license for the older version becomes invalid. No way around that. Give me that number so I can try to see if there is a bios update available for your system. Often, a bios update is all that is needed to solve these kinds of issues. Problem is, on older systems, there is often NOT a newer bios available. But if there is, then it should be tried before anything else. Is it possible to flash the bios to one with uefi No. Unified extensible firmware is a TYPE of bios. UEFI bios can generally operate in Legacy mode, to be compatible with older hardware, but older motherboards cannot become compatible with UEFI ONLY hardware. Some older motherboards do however have bios updates that make them compatible with hardware that is newer than the motherboard, but there comes a point where the OEM of the motherboard simply stops supporting it for newer hardware and when that happens, there is nothing that can be done. There's no way to know if your unit has a newer version available without the service tag. However, since the card IS working somewhat and is clearly visible in device manager I think it's worth the effort to try a clean install. You did not however answer my earlier question regarding the legitimacy of your Windows install. Is your current Windows 10 license activated? Ok, then I'd do a totally clean installation. Backup anything important on the OS drive and then completely remove ALL of the partitions INCLUDING the boot and restore partitions exactly as outlined in the clean install tutorial I linked to. If the boot partition and all existing partitions are not deleted, then there can be issues. Also, prior to beginning the new installation by booting to the install media, it would probably not be a bad idea to remove the cmos battery for a minute or two and then replace it, then go into the bios and find the option to set optimal or setup default settings and do so. Then, set the boot order to your installation media, save settings, exit bios and proceed with the install. It may be a PSU issue. If you have another one that you could temporarily use, doesn't even really need to fit the case as long as the motherboard power connectors are the same, which they should be unless it's out of a small form factor unit. Since you had another card that didn't work in that system, but both cards work in different systems, and since the card is recognized but just doesn't install right, I'd suspect either a power, motherboard or operating system issue. If you have another power supply, the one from your asus machine for example, that is high enough capacity, it costs you nothing. Reinstalling Windows, which can quite OFTEN be the problem, costs you nothing. Buying a new motherboard, costs you some money PLUS it might not be the problem. I'd eliminate these other possibilities first and THEN worry about getting a different motherboard unless you know something about this motherboard leading you to have reason to believe it IS the problem, that I don't know about. You can do a clean installation of Windows 10 as follows, but you'll want to back up any important files or documents to another drive or external media first, as everything on that drive will be wiped out. If you CAN get a motherboard with a UEFI bios, that would be the better option so long as there is not a major difference in price because then it will stand a much better chance of offering ongoing bios updates, support for a newer and broader range of hardware and potentially continue to support newer hardware if you keep the system long enough to need for it to do so. Otherwise, you might actually be somewhat limited to whatever is still out there and available. Obviously there are no longer any of these boards being manufactured so you are stuck with either new old stock NOS or used. I'd probably shoot for new old stock if you can find it, but used is ok too if you can trust the seller. EVGA GeForce GT 730 DirectX 12 04G-P3-3739-KR 4GB 64-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2. If the problem IS the card, then that should work, BUT, that is an extremely low end card. Not suitable for any kind of gaming other than very basic or browser based games. If the point of your RX 550 was to be able to have at least minimal gaming capability, you're not going to have that with that card. It will not meet the minimum recommendations for most AAA games.

 


Otherwise, you might actually be somewhat limited to whatever is still out there and available. Because the pci-e 4x slot will be feeding the video output. Probably in Rock of Ages case, the problem is my hardware, according to actual ACE Team support, and developers of the original Rock of Ages no rx 550 drivers work in ACE Team. I don't know if Gigabyte 990xa-ud3 can carry this combination or not. Once you upgrade the system, your license for the older version becomes invalid. Its not the card type of games your trying to play.
