Hey guys, I have an older GTX 260 PNY XLR8 card that just sort of died the other day.
It started giving me a RED screen and scrambled.
I tried it in 3 different pcs and it happens in all 3.
I ruled out heat, connections, software problems, driver problems and power supply.
I re-did the heat sink paste on the gpu using Artic Silver. I took off the cover and everything looks good using a powerful magnifying glass, no burned marks or anything.
I'm now wondering if a trace is bad???
So I want to try an cook the card in my wife's oven to re-flow the solder traces but I have never done that before.
What temperature would I do it at, and for how long?
Geez, it is a nice card for general purposes and I hate to toss it in the garbage if it can be fixed.
I think it's at least worth a try.
