It's an Rx 460 2GB from Sapphire.
No boot if alone on either slot, code 62.
Will boot as second card only if not recognized.
If recognized bluescreens.
Took to safe mode, disabled, reboot, flashed bios, drivers, and it still failed.
Uninstalled to standard vga graphics, still failed alone.
Does anyone have a fix for that other than the trash bin?
Regards.

Try flashing the GPU bios again, yes sometimes the Driver itself can "do those things".

Its still recognized, thats good, I would suggest to the HIGHEST point, DO NOT USE ANY OTHER GPU THAN BROKEN ONE, USE ONBOARD GRAPHICS!

since your card is really quite old now, updating the drivers will make little to no difference.
If you look at the latest drivers from AMD, most are only for improvements in the latest games which generally are high res only 1440+
Personally, I do have a 580 and run everything in 1080p but there has been no performance gain for me, for over a year in the games I play.
You don't have to download latest graphic drivers, only do this if you have problems.

If it broke after you did a driver update, then why not use Windows rollback?

Windows Lolback didn't work. Believe me I tried everything.
Tbh, imho I thought the memory controller code block location sabotage got me; hell, it could.
So, I tried Robert Ban's solution of a single card on a windows reinstall; only to have the card not displaying at all on the first reboot, Code 10 on device manager.
Gpuz gave a standard baffin gpu with 0 rop/tmus, so i thought, wth, which one is it, lets do a bios flash.
Did it but nothing happened.
So, when I was about to remove it for a final time, came to my mind this old advice to try it hanging from the mb, without the case screw.
Surprise!
It displayed.
So I reatached it, and it did not display.
Hung it again, reatached that screw hotplugged, rebooted ok, gpuz gave rop/tmus, driver installed fine, and after a few seconds of thrilling expectation on that next boot, here we are.
Although that worked for my card, I'm not sure this will be of any utility to anyone though.
Best.

The port consistently failed while gaming a 780.
Fixed as well.
Checked if the port was actually soldered to the chip and it wasn't, a drop of lead did it.
Used the power cables going behind the plate to the top of the card to offset some of the torque of longer and heavier cards.
