For those who have read my blogs..... I think I have finally fixed my graphics card.
Yes, I baked it in the oven!
No more artifacts when booting up. So straight away this is a win for me, although I still don't know if it will crash out when playing SC2. I'll be sure to report back tomorrow night once I've played SC2 all day. But for now I need to take this baby out as I didn't apply any thermal paste to the GPU (I don't want to fry it again, lol).
I'm actually very suprised this has worked and am over the moon to have this extra IT trick up my sleeve. The only other odd fix I know of is recovering data on faulty hard drives, just put it in a seal bag and chuck it in the freezer for a 1/2 an hour and you should be able to recover your data
Does anyone else here know of any odd fixes such as these when it comes to PC hardware?
