GTX 780 dying? :(

[Arrow]

Started a couple hours ago. Was playing a game for a while until my screen flickered green and blue and brown and then the HDMI signal stopped.

After checking HDMI cables, cleaning out my computer, and stress testing GPU with different settings. The card went from flickering when under load like stress testing to non-existent... The card still outputs to the monitor but no programs can detect it. Just gone.

 

Is it time to lay this veteran to rest or can I do something about it?

have you checked the psu cable to the pci power? my r9 280x stop sending signal and stop running, and when I checked the card pci connector was melting.

i would start by unplugging everything, remove the card from the slot, blow on it, give it a couple good strong slap on the back (you know, the old way of fixing broken shit...bash on it) then i blow in the pcie slot as hard as i can, then i would insert back the card in with as much pressure as possible (making sure it sits very well in the slot) then i would plug back all the cables (again use a bit more force to make sure it's all the way in there real good) and then power up the machine and if that doesn't work and you can't get a signal out of it then i would probably bake that sucker.

Do monitor is with any programs? Has the tim ever been replaced?

[AMD Spec]

bake it in an oven that u wont use again ,  P.S  this is not a permenant fix 

 

The thing is , u can look for shops that can reflow the gpu for u and that would be a permenant and safe solution . maybe some peripheral components went bad ( caps , chokes ... ) , those can be replaced  .  

 

But  fried traces ( Busted PCB ) , vram - or vrm module , this will require a donor card .

I wouldn't be too hopeful. Sounds dead.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I tried all of them except that oven one, but I'm pretty sure it is indeed dead.

So now the question is if I should wait for boxing day to buy a new GTX 1060?
