GPU uplorry?

[kuti]

I was using palit gtx460 when horizontal lines suddenly appeared in my screen. then BSOD when reboot. Warranty over unfortunately.


Any gurus here know a way to fix this or I've no choice but to get a new gpu?

thanks

Thanks for the advice.

I never heard of the oven method or dismantling the fan to reapply the paste. Hopefully either one method work.

Anyone knows aside from SLS where got sell thermal paste?

sorry to hear about it.
I suspect the latest update from nvidia may be the root cause.

Damnit I got the same thing. Looks like the driver screwed us up!

Hi TS, my GTX 580 having the same problem too. Red horizontal lines suddenly appearing all over the screen and then BSOD. Now everytime i reboot, the red lines and BSOD will appear.

Hi

Just a quick update

I remove the fan and heatsink. The existing thermal paste looks ok. Anyway degreased and reapply new paste. Still the same problem.

I think not much chance left for salvaging this card. I'll try baking in oven for 375 degrees / 10 mins. But not pinning any hopes high on this method.

most likely get a budget card to use first

if it's a driver issue, try to uninstall and use driversweeper to clean up all the remaining nvidia drivers then reinstall the drivers again.

thanks

I actually tried this earlier. It doesn't work for me.

i tried rollback to the below driver versions.

258.96
260.99
276.14
280.26
285.38


maybe others will have some luck in this method

gxgx Can SIC the procedure? It didn't work for me.

Is it 375 degrees at 10 minutes?

kuti, i read it off a webpage but its not 375 deg, thats Fahrenheit.. converted to degrees Celsius should be onlty around 210+ degree.. 375 might be too high, might want to try a lower temperature
