Lower the clockspeed or put it in the oven.

Bake it at 400 F for about 8 min, give it time to cool and hope for the best.

Warranty? EVGA has some 6-8 year or so.

yea that's what i would do

Sometimes the solder joints break and putting it in the oven re-flows it. Same concept as heatgunning a ps3 or Xbox 360. I have fixed my buddies ps3 5 or 6 times using that method.

 

Make sure to remove the cooler and fans first though.

yep, it re-does the solder points which could be the source of the problem

Might not even be worth it TBH, its such an old card, knowing EVGA they probably would send him a 750Ti back.
