hi, you guy's think my card is dead?
i have tried installing new drives to see if the card works, using ddu to clean old drivers and just got drivers crash and recover ,my last resourse was a clean installation of Windows and before install the drivers got a black screen and cant install the drivers. even the basic windows drivers got black screen.

before try that when my card was working i have only random gray screen when a play bf4, bf hardline i just reset the pc and work again ,my card never got overheating max temp was like 65c on full load 30c on idle room temperature are like 23c and i never do overclock to the vga. the last simptom's was screen flicker got artifacs on desktop using firefox an the pc was freeze,never got artifacs playing just the random gray screen,
i was playing blade and soul, when i try play bf4 again just got ramdom screen flicker and drivers crash and recovery and that was the last time it work.
so this thing is dead or can repair ?

Since this happened after cleaning drivers it's most likely that something else is borked. Please list the rest of your components and OS.

I've had quite a few video cards die on me while using them and i'd say its a gonner.

Pre-heat that oven!! Time to bake it!! ;)

Another way to test is to install another OS, like linux on it, and see if those drivers work. If so, then it points to a windows issue.

The GPU could be a goner. Did you try any other video cards? Do you have a ticket at xfxsupport.com yet? i can help get your RMA started.

i dont register my card, lost the receipt, i just teardown the card remove all the sticker i invalid the waranty, i dont live on usa i live in mexico , just rma the card from here will cost me like the 15% of what cost me the card.:eek:

the truth i really want to try the oven just by curiosity to see if will work some time before i buy another card.

and yes i test my pc using another card a zotac gt 640 and work fine even without remove the amd drivers .

Just be aware that it could start having problems within hours or days/weeks. I had a 4850 I baked a total of three times. But I think you put enough heat on it and baking time your first try.
