8800gt Problem

[Somebody97]

Hello everybody

 

I have bought this GPU quite a long time now, but for the last couple months it started giving me weird problems.

I start the computer, everything is fine but no display, when i took it to a specialist, he said that it needed to be heated to start, and he did something to it with laser at a high degree, and he said that it has to be hot to start or something.

It worked fine for about 3 weeks then the same problem again

Does anyone now what is the problem?

There is a known issue with the 8000 series cards.
It has to do with the soldering on them, you will need to bake them in the oven every once in a while for them to work.
Take the heatsink off , remove the thermal paste, put the card on a tray & put it in the oven.

It's called the oven trick.
