Hey guys,
My computer wouldn't boot up a few weeks ago. The windows logo animation would show, then the screen would stay blank, never making it to the account login screen. I tried everything I could think of, software and hardware, and I am 95% sure it's a hardware problem with my gpu. My question is this:
Is finding the problem with my video card and fixing it plausible at all? I've seen posts about replacing capacitors and stuff but don't know if that's what's wrong. I haven't taken it apart or anything, but is it even worth my time? It's a sapphire radeon hd 6870, if it matters.
Also, if all else fails, I might try this, but don't want to risk it if I can fix it manually. http://www.overclockers.com/the-oven-trick-repairing-your-broken-video-card-with-an-oven/
We've been through a lot together, and I'd like to bring her back if possible.
Any advice or input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
