GPU was bought on ebay for 111$ as is not working except in safe mode listed as an HP RTX 2080
I managed to get the driver to install. I took everything off the GPU, cleaned the whole surface of the card off and re thermal pasted the GPU.
I actually got it to boot normally without safemode but as soon as I go to log on to the computer the blocks of death come up.
Should I try the oven trick? if so what should the temp be? On a side note I looked at the "underside" of the card and noticed 2 components that are touching each other on the solder pads.
I don't know what the components are but it doesn't look like someone tried to solder on new parts. Card heats up pretty quick with no load.
