    Question Trying to figure out the cause of a dying GPU ?

    hmm.. any ideas where I could find somewhere with an oven to do that kinda thing? otherwise the only other thing I can think of is to seal it in plastic and cook it but that's most probably a bad idea lol

    Question Trying to figure out the cause of a dying GPU ?

    I was thinking that might be it, windows and gpuz still recognise the card but both show it as having no vram :(. have tried installing a new bios on it but that didn't wanna work, so my absolute last resort is the oven, although I'm not (that much of) an idiot and don't wanna cook it where I...

    [SOLVED] elp! grahpics card struggling with games, refuses driver updates and displaying code 43

    also if it helps, the issue started off the in the first place during the ow2 beta and there seemed to be atleast a few people that had the "rendering device has been lost" error, which was also when things went downhill for me. idk if it's just coincidence but just thought I'd mention it

    [SOLVED] elp! grahpics card struggling with games, refuses driver updates and displaying code 43

    yeah I'm hoping its not the card itself that's damaged but it could be. I've heard about reflashing the card while I was looking for fixes but not tried it yet, reballing the chip isn't something I've heard about so far so I'll look into that, thanks
