A while ago, I burned out (or so I think) not one but two Graphic Cards D:. They are EVGA GeForce 7600GT, the other was a Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro. Now I'm looking for home remedies that might be able to fix them.
When Modern Warfare 2 came out, I got it and rushed to finish it. Don't know if it matters for troubleshooting, but just before the end when they fell off the waterfall, the game crashes everytime I get there. A DirectX error comes up.
Now I think it was MW2 that caused some overheating and damage to the GFX Cards. They were both on stock cooling.
I'm not exactly sure it really died because after, I could somewhat see the desktop after starting up, but after less than a minute, it faded to black (the 7600GT). After another couple of boots, it wouldn't show even show BIOs, and the startup beep doesn't even happen.
After I plugged in my 9800 Pro, ran the game a couple of times, then it died. Boot buy no display at all.
I know my AGP 8X slot is fine, as I plugged in a really cheap AGP GFX Card in and it displays. My monitors are also fine.
If its any relevance, my system specs are:
-Intel Pentium 4 HT 3.0Ghz
-1.5GB DDR 400 RAM
-ASRock 775VM800 Motherboard.
-2x 80GB SATA HDDs
One of the two HDDs installed at the time was later discovered to be burnt.
Any way to save them?
