If anyone out there can help me PLEASE! I’m ready to pull my hair out….
I have a Mac Pro 5,1 Mid 2010 Dual 3.46 ghz 6 core Intel Xeon
It is my main rig for a commercial recording studio and I’ve been down for over a week struggling with a simple update to Mojave. I purchased a MSI RX 580 4g OC from a guy on marketplace, when I got it home I was able to get my firmware to the 144.000 , installed Mojave and a Gigabyte Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3 card. I had to install Open Core in order to get the Thunderbolt card to see my Apollo 16 audio interfaces. I had a black Screen with the RX 580 until I installed open core, then I got the boot screen. I was stoked, thunderbolt worked and seemed great. Then I began to have screen issues, they would go wacky and then freeze up. I disconnect one of my HDMI monitors and seemed to be ok. Then I began to work in pro-tools, that’s when all hell broke loose. I started to get random crashes and now it’s constantly crashing. The screed will have artifacts that look like an old Atari or something and the whole thing locks up on me to where I have to power down hard. I’m over a week into this and I need help.
Is the Graphics card flashed with a custom bios? Maybe used for Mining or something?
Did The thunderbolt cards EFI somehow screw with the apple OS?
If there is a way to check the bios and make sure it’s ok or reset it to factory please help! I’m on my own here, I don’t have the budget to buy another Graphics card at the moment. Any help would be so gratefully apriceated!

Attached is a pic of the screen issues I’m getting when it locks up and crashes
