Hey folks,
I have two AMD Radeon HD 7950s that I've run crossfired for several years. One is 5 years old and the other about 2-ish. As expected, the former appears to be heading out the door.
I've already narrowed the problem down to this GPU, as I can run the PC perfectly fine with the more recent 7950.
The GPU only hits about 63°C before completely locking up the PC during gaming, with vertical bars on-screen. I have not overclocked it at any point in its lifespan.
I've already:
I still have my secondary card which is working okay, but I just hate to throw away the other one if it can still be saved somehow. What do you guys think the issue is, bad solder joints? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I've already:
■ Disassembled GPU
■ Cleaned with compressed air
■ Applied new thermal compound
■ Ensured fan is spinning
