XFX RX 480 Adrenaline Drivers do not work

Is anyone else having issues getting Adrenaline Drivers to work with the RX 480? Any time I install them Windows does not recognize the driver and getting Windows Code: 43.

However, Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.11.5-Nov25, this driver works perfectly fine. Now I enjoy using the features and would like to take advantage of the tweaks offered in Adrenaline and use them on my RX 480. But I can't seem to find a work around.

So for now I have to use a driver from 2 years ago in order to be able to use my GPU. Any help would be appreciated.

XFX RX 480 8GB

Desktop System

Windows 10 64bit

Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.11.5-Nov25 Installed

Dell SE2717HR 27" Full HD 75Hz FreeSync LED Monitor HDMI Connection

Gigabyte GA-AB350M-Gaming 3 F22 Bios

AMD Ryzen 2400G

Thermaltake 650W Bronze

16GB Corsair 3000mhz RAM

When I install Adrenaline drivers I get Windows Error Code 43. Graphics Card will show desktop and Windows, but GPU will not function when I update drivers. However, the only drivers that seem to work is Radeon-Software-Crimson-16.11.5-Nov25. Any other Crimson based driver won't function either. It's just this specific driver that works.

Is anyone else having this issue?

Okay I was able to fix it for those of you having issues using the latest drivers on your XFX RX 480 RS Edition.

Check your GPU bios. I was able to update them to the latest version (using the same card specs) and I was able to get the GPU to be recognized and fully works with Adrenaline drivers.

If you would like details here we go:

The utility provided by Tom's Hardware is pretty safe and will let you know if the bios will work or no before pushing update.
