Do you still have the card? You could try the trusty old oven method to resurrect it. https://lifehacker.com/save-a-dying-video-card-with-a-quick-bake-in-the-oven-5823227 It does sometimes work! Resets the solder. I kept an old card going years ago for 6-9 months doing this. Baked it 3 or 4 times lol.

When I put the card back in.. It won't start up or freeze in middle of the start up. Done a full re install and everything. Tried it in my son's pc too.. Same thing.. It is getting old so.. It is a msi gtx780.. Saving to by me a new one to build. Hoping to get the rtx series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

I believe it was with a RD 7870 Or maybe the RD 4870. My PC wasn't booting due to a GFX error and then it worked after I did this and the solder resettled. You just have to be careful with the temperature setting on the oven. Sharpe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
