I have a 6900 xt GPU of which had random crashes for a month, I then decided to load a new BIOS on to the board and found that the chip was not reading at all. Dual BIOS so no issue. I did some soldering to remove the faulty chip then turned on my PC to find all applications that used electron to render were crapping out making several applications unusable.

With this I disassembled and reassembled the card several times over several days its also connected in a custom water cooling loop. Was a stressful week and found no issues with the card other than the now removed BIOS chip, I then decided to load up another linux Wayland os and found all electron applications worked perfectly. Back to my main os I uninstalled wayland, electron24 and a few other dependency's and reinstalled. Lo and behold the system was fine....

Love you linux but holy. Had be freaking out over repairing a fairly expensive card.

How did you determine it was faulty? What did you replace it with? How did you flash the new chip? This story doesn't make sense.

Seems like they figured out it was faulty when trying to flash it. And I was skeptical but bios chip swapping on these cards is indeed a thing.
