Video Card Dead - Need Advice!

kadepsyson

So my old Nvidia 8800 GTS 640 video card is dead.  The other one I have functions fine, but this one is no longer functional.  So I need some advice and tips on what to do next.  I was considering using a sledgehammer, or even just setting it on fire.

 

I am open to suggestions.

Bake it in the oven for about 5 to 10 minutes, at around 375F.

Using fire isn't actually a bad idea. I've baked a few cards in my day and brought them bake to life

Found a link if you want to give it a shot, you may damage your card... but if its dead already lol, it's not like you can make it much worse.
