I have a Gigabyte R9 270 that doesn't work when I start up my computer and the fans doesn't move, I only had it for one year and I want to know if anyone knows how to fix a dead card.

Some people pop theirs in the oven, so i'd try that...

 

Wait for someone to give you proper instructions cause I don't remember them lol

 

EDIT: Or of course RMA it...

If the warranty is valid still, you could RMA it. However, I turned my card into a coaster.

Even though he was essentially a rebrand, that guy could compute some graphics like there was no tomorrow-ish.

what I do in these cases is buy a exact copy of the product...and then send back the old one...as the new one...saying it died on me...

and I don't feel bad at all about it cause the product shouldn't die on me that quickly

If you need remote help fixing something on your computer

I can help over Teamviewer if you wish

just msg me on my profile
