Hello everyone ...
this is my sytems specs :
CPU >> quad core Q9400 2.66 Ghz
GPU >> xfx radeon HD 4890
RAM >> kingston 6 GB ddr2
Motherboard >> Asus P5K deluxe
i have recently run into some problems with my radeon hd 4980 ( xfx custom cooled ) after i upgraded to windows 10 from 7. About a month ago it started to get really hot on games like nfs most wanted 2012 and warframe , the temperatures went upto 110 C !!!
after reading abt some similar problems of other users
I opened card , reapplied new thermal paste and cleaned the fan this lowered the idlle temperatures from 67 c to 60 c , i was very cautious abt temperature. The gpu seemed to be working ok for abt 2 weeks until recently when i was playing nfs the screen went black and i heard static noise for a while . after which the pc shutdown. After physically checking alll components ( gpu was hot ) i restarted the pc but the mother board didnt POST . i removed the gpu and tried again , this time the mother board did POST , so im assuming something went wrong with the gpu.
Can anyone tell me what happened and can anything be done to make the card function again ?
I wud really appreciate ur help !
