are your power cables plugged in?

also, u just voided ur warranty.

if ur warranty was still valid, you could of just sent it in for rma.

now you cant

So the oven trick is only for fixing already dead GPUs and is extremely risky. You had a superficial temp problem that was probably just a bad thermal paste application, flow issue, or something along those lines.

 

I'm sorry, but it appears you bricked your own card by jumping to the "only ever do if the card is already dead and outside of RMA window" solution first.

If it wasn't already, baking it probably killed it.

[maggoochef]

tried all that about 5 times no power no signal from card nothing was completely dead swapped out for another gpu boot straight away

You really baked your GPU for no reason. 

That 290X is probably gone for good because you fucked up.
