Someone told me that this only works on cards that are artifacting, is that true or false? I have a dead 8800GTS that just comes up with a black screen, is there any hope for cards like that?
I'm going to try this tomorrow with a D630... dead display (Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M)
Does anyone know if the oven trick may work on an artifacting DVI port?
Yeah, that looks like bad ram.
I've just done this with a 9800GTX which was getting severe corruption before crashing. This was when doing anything with 3D (even Windows Aero) or video playback (like youtube)
It no longer has those problems, but it is however running games at half speed. Frame rate is literally half what it used to be, and in some cases the game actually runs at half the speed too.
Not getting any power warnings and Rivatuner shows that it's running at the correct clocks. Temps are fine. Any ideas?
Well, add one to the list of successes...!
I have a BFG 8800GTX OC video card start artifacting on me in Windows as well as BIOS/bootup screens. I was resigned to buying a new card, but after finding this thread I decided to give it a try:
385 degrees for 9 minutes. Like the OP I stripped the heatsink, fan, blower cover off. Put it on a baking sheet GPU side down supported on tinfoil.
After assembling the card it has been working for 19 hours now - including 5 hours of gaming without any issues or visual artifacts!
Next up - 2 XFX 8600GTS video cards that both died within weeks of each others (both were bought at the same time) - artifacting and eventually wouldn't boot.
Also - I have a Gateway XHD3000 monitor that started artifacting and got so bad I could no longer use it. I'll be pulling the logic boards out and baking them too!
The best news is that I told a friend last night about this that has 2 BFG 8800GTX OC cards that were having the artifacting and then not booting issue. Times are tight and I've lost a gaming friend for a while. Hopefully this will work for him, or one of my 8600GTS cards will work. Hopefully back to multiplayer gaming soon!
cya.

It worked. I left it to cool down for 30min before started putting it all back together, programs works, games work too, it passed Intelburntest and Furmark without problem. There is 1 thing that doesn't work any more and that is the mouse pointing device. When I was about to insert the flat cable, no pressure what so ever, the solder was brittle and the connector end up in my hand. Luckily the same did't happened for the Keyboard. I can't solder the mouse as it's microscopic compared to the keyboard which can be done. It doesn't matter, my friend hate it anyway and use USB mice on laptops. This was helpful! I've read about it years ago but this actually is my first time I had to try the method to restore something that was so broken.
