Yeah so I have an XFX NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT. For some odd reason, the graphics card goes upto 100-110 degrees celcius when on the bios screen, when put there for about a few minutes. Now one day, I forgot to go through the bios screen (I had a password set up on the bios menu) and then I just smelled something... odd. Burning plastic! But I saw my screen was still on, and I quickly closed my computer from its wall switch. Next day, my computer wouldn't turn on, at all. Now, when I put my graphics card in and attempt to power on, the lights will just simply blink for a split second and turn off. When I take out the graphics card, it would work properly without any problems. Now I'm wondering if I can fix this thing using the 'bake fix' method, because my warranty has expired. :(
Right, so is my graphics card gone for good or what? :p Will it help at all trying this bake method?
