Re: Graphics Problem

you could try reasonable time arguement on Novatech

I am just having a bash at reflowing a 2900XT might work might not will et you know in about an hour and half lol

preheat oven to 200 degrees C. remove heatsink etc. Make 4 balls of tin foil around the same size and put on a baking sheet. Place GFX upside down on the balls so its level. Place in oven for 7 minutes. Remove from oven carefully and leave for an hour. Put back together and test.

The proper way is of course to use a heat gun lol

Believe it or not it appears to have worked.

The card would not take a driver as soon as one was installed it blue screened the PC

I did the in oven reflow method and now it allows a driver install and I am now stress testing it with ATI tool and so far so good.

I will pst back in a bit after its been tested for an hour to report on if it dies or not
