Problems with Nvidia GTX 780 ti: "green tiles of death"

[OrangeTheMaster]

Hey guys, 2 days ago something started happening that has never happened before with my video card. It all started when one of my games crashed, I didn't think much of it and I stopped playing, but when I booted another game later that day, my whole system crashed. Now every time I boot my computer, a bunch of green rectangles appear on the screen after the bios logo. Sometimes I can access windows, but most of the time the screen goes black and my display stops receiving any signal. I thought it had to do with recent drivers from Nvidia, so I uninstalled them, but this didn't help. I also tried to restore my windows to a previous version with different Nvidia drivers, but this also didn't work. I'm sure it has something to do with the gpu because I removed it and the integrated graphics work fine, no problems on startup or the weird green rectangles glitch. Changing the pci express port also didn't help. Is there anything I can still try to do or is my gpu doomed? (I've bought it just 3 years ago).

It's not the drivers because they appear before Windows loads. Green artifacts there are usually indicative of bad video memory, or at least a broken solder joint to the memory.

As there is nothing to lose, the latter can be repaired by reflowing in an oven, 385F for 8 minutes. Just google baking GPU for instructions on how to prepare the card.

Since there is nothing left to do I'll try this solution then. Will update the thread after I test it. Thanks for the suggestion.
