Soo a friend gave me this galax gtx 960 that has artifacts, the symptoms are, it takes about 25 seconds to display any image and then shows this odd information(image 2) and then proceeds to boot displaying this white lines 100% of the time(image 1), even on the mb bios, on the device manager it recognizes the card, but with code 43 and error code 0000002b when opening the gpu-z all the information seems right except that it shows a 0mb of video memory (image 3) which leads me to think that is likely a problem with the memory, i can't install the drivers, i have all old drivers uninstalled with ddu, next issue, i looked at the pcb and noticed one of thoose r22 bricks (idk what they are called) is "missing"(image 4) i can't tell if it was removed but probably wasn't, the fixes i tried were cleaning it with a bath of alcohol and baking it at 390f for 12 minutes, none of them worked, the error still persists, next thing i will try to do is using a heat gun on the memory chips, if any of you guys could help me even with just a guest of what it could be, i will be thankful, good night

I know you didn't ask for it but working a sidegig and buying a new one would be more efficient.

 

I had a code 43 gtx 670 that wouldn't even output anything or be used by windows and it never recovered
