Hello everyone, this is my first post here but not the first time I’ve visited this site, actually every time i have a computer related problem i come here because it seems people are very friendly
and really know there computer stuff, so thanks in advance for all your comments and help.
So this is my problem.
I recently took apart a gtx 295 that was very dusty and wouldn’t play games for more than 5 min without crashing due to overheating with fan speed up to 80%. i looked around for videos on how to take apart a gtx 295 and luckily found one. so i start the process and everything is going well, i start cleaning the card as best i can, i clean the processors completely from the old thermal paste and applied new one, then i start putting everything back together, and i get to the part where I'm putting the screws into the top part of the card (HDMI PART), and i get to a screw that just doesn’t want to go in to the whole. So instead of finding a way around this i start to force the screw in with a pair of pliers (I KNOW, BIG NO NO), and suddenly BAAM!!! A small little circuit brakes off.....
LONG 15min SILENCE CAME NEXT..... So after gathering myself i finish putting the card together, put it on my computer and i get this: RED LIGHT AND THE FAN IS NOT SPINNING.
So gentlemen (and maybe ladies) Should i be arranging my card's funeral? or can there still be hope for a revival?. There's a gentleman on ebay that’s selling a gtx295 that’s broken but says the hdmi part still works. can i take that part of the card and put it on mine and solve the problem? any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time everyone!!!
