My monitor was the Hermes of this story: "No Signal"

Fan stopped and it got so hot you could cook pancakes on it.

Only one GPU every died. That was while i was playing Gothic2, 2-3 Days after Release.

The whole Display was fucked up in a milisecond and textures ect. were sucked into the center fo the Screen. Looked weird and my mood went down to the basement. :lol:

what gpu? i dont have one

[Mattyd7829]

Bought a 2nd HD7950 used from ebay, along with a psu. Within 20 mins the gpu was not displaying a picture and was getting exceptionally hot so I tried the baking in the oven trick.  First try no different, 2nd try most of the capacitors came off the board. Also when I got my 295x2, it proved that the psu was also a pile of crap. Goodbye £200. Thanks for nothing.

not really a dead desktop gpu story, but it what i first thought. haha

 

this happened around 2009

i had a new pc

athlon x2 5000+

4gb ram

hd 3850

 

the pc was working fine for around a month, but then it would suddenly get a black screen often, until i couldnt see anything when i turned on the pc. so i bought another 3850 and it worked fine for a week, then same probs. fml.

so i replaced it and got a hd4870. it worked fine for a day then it wouldnt display anything.

 

in the end it turns out my ram was broke, hahahahaha. im noob

The only video card I've actually seen die was a Geforce 7800 GS AGP card in about 2007. Not a particularly exciting story. I started having massive triangular artifacts in all of my games. BFG replaced it. I still have the replacement laying around somewhere, I think. If BFG still existed, it would still be under it's "lifetime" warranty.

I had an MSI 290X die on me within a year so I RMA'd it. I had a second one die on me within sin months so I said fuck this brand.

I had this Geforce 8400 GS, it used to run too fucking hot around 85 c. it never died but as it became obsolete, I swapped it out with GTX 650. When I was on 8400 GS, it's tiny-miny fan stopped working out of the blue one day and the display gone blank, I reached to my CPU rightaway and pulled out the lid and discovered that it's fan isn't running coz its bearing got clogged by dust, I oiled it and managed to make it work again and is still running. So, I saved it from dying, to my personal experience, no hardware dies so fast if you look after it precisely by making sure that it is with in its thermal limitation and power supply is smooth.

I mucked up my water block install on my HD 2900 XT. Shorted the card. That was a bad day.

I had 9800 GX2s that hit 105C easy, after a year or so they started to microstutter more than usual and artifact. So I sold them fast.
