Artifacts, white screen and maybe a dead video card

AMD Radeon Saphire HD7950.

Last night went to dinner and when I came back - I was waiting for white screen. Bake off, she has started, but nothing but coolers and the backlight didn't work - black screen, the decay and hopelessness. The phenomenon was quite surprised, because a week and a half ago, all cleaned and changed the thermal paste in the processor and graphics card. Decided to clean the RAM Board over 4.5 years of use for the first time, because those sort of solved the problem with the oxidation of the contacts. Include bake - no sense.

For some reason decided to turn it on again - waited for the same scenario, but holding the button longer when turning off, when once again appeared to auto-restart the pitch was started. For whole 5 minutes. When I beheld this picture: the whole picture is first covered with colored artifacts, then just a solid white color and standing OS. Today I managed to start baking with this video card again and it worked for a minute and a half or two, then again artifacts and white screen.

Even when buying noticed that in the system unit video card sags from the corner, where there is no attachment. But did nothing, because perhaps and so will descend. And came down by as much as 4.5 years. Reading Google, met kartinochki with a broken PCI-E, and his port also noticed a slight deformation of the teeth of the port (I would say, minor - but the film can't, there is no normal camera; in fact they seem to go wave down-up again or something). To check the port thing, the video card or something else - will be able tomorrow by connecting the card to someone else's pitch.

Tried to change power cables for the graphics card. Once by mistake I forgot to include them, and pitch has started. Image, of course not, but the graphics card coolers from something worked. Connecting cable, nothing is included - just work cooler. With integrated graphics it works, actually with it and sit.

Tried again to change the thermal paste yesterday. It did not help. I would note that around a graph of percent (or is it a flat, mirror-like something - do not know) there are little blocks or something, they are smeared with thermal compound. Cleaned as best I could, but still dirty.

I tried to put a support to straighten the graphics card. It did not help. But a couple of times pitch was launched when I was holding her own - lit up the start menu with the brand image of the motherboard, covered with artifacts, were cut down and all.

To turn off the drive and unnecessary hard not tried. Plus I don't have junk of hard, because all three installed different software. If disabling them won't hurt - tomorrow can try.

I will be glad of any information on the problem.

The blade is the GPU. Deformation of the teeth are unlikely to give such an effect.

Not important, at least cover them at least not obmazyvat it SMD capacitors.

The service is not less than 3.5 rubles charge.

What does some of the slack. Map your developed and ordered to live long. Monique assuming you have 60 Hz and you play without vertical sync. What are your FPS in games.

You mean a regular rare card or reballing? and the roasting is a temporary solution and to give him 3.5 To pointless because the chip can on the new to fall off in a few months.

probably the dump of the chip or deterioration of memory

Quality fit the Gpu on the IR station is a little different from the technology applied at the factory, this live it will be ordered for a long time.
Rebeling do if high-quality warm up in the thermal stations to no avail...

I do not agree, the IR station is not iron and not a stove, it will be to live long. I have a friend in the service is easy for six months a guarantee of a job gave, there were cases of double, but that's hot card-level 8800 gtx 400 with poor cooling and possibly the same chassis.
+ Not really experienced users who do not know how to manual set the fan speed and they work in a regular mode allowing high temperature.

For the info thank you. I am also on the network before and after the creation of a topic read the companion, I say warming up is really a temporary solution. But about IR station did not meet. How long after that will live graphics card? I picked up an alternative in case things are quite bad.

After repair, it will be necessary to take care of the cooling system or change the + setting it to a higher speed via programs like msi afteburner...really after a quality repair they can live as much as the card is removed from the box =) a Temporary solution for those who do not want anything to do with your cooling system or body, either a very hot card with referencei cooling system or just crappy copies from the factory.
There are chances of recurrence , but usually these cards initially with poor soldering and broken within 1.5-2 years after purchase after warranty.
7950-7970 cards are hot enough and the blade is not from the constant high operating temperature and against surges, for example in the game there is a transitional location, the map for example is heated to 85-90 when loading new locations of the map out in a simple and sharply cools down to 60-50 and then again sharply heats up, ETC., balls of solder that are compressed then expand non-uniform, the appear micro cracks - lost contact, they cause artifacts.

This need has long been to replace this junk - AMD Radeon Saphire HD7950. Well, God helped you podvinulsja to buy. ))

Case I took a hefty and good cooling - maybe because the card and has lived so long, but in the same K3 even when buying noticed heat to 73 at this maximum temperature, the fps was consistently reduced (in my eyes). Then it was still the old version of the interface driver from AMD with the possibility of regulating the valves of the map, now that h-t was removed, but then helped. MSI Afteburner - that's just it, my friend recommend now fine remember.

It remains to find specialistica for quality repairs. 3.5 K compared with the 8.5 for me a significant difference, at the moment. Moreover, Thu thinking about buying a new furnace, maybe in the summer.

The shovel in the ass this b-Zhenya, students of the graphics card to break.

And, I understand, so that you do not work. My condolences, then, without sarcasm. I have a year ago was covered with a 690 I (one chip off). In just 3 years. And none can take credit. The last upgrade in early 2013, I did credit. But the truth is I worked and paid quickly, for three months. So the interest is small, insignificant.

In the same year, was tenured, took bake with the amount on hand. Never took on debt and not going. Now, passively, and pitch-expenditure in the current, very difficult period, is not advisable. Forgiven even, in theory, to raise old, with Intel Core 2 Duo and a Sapphire HD3850 - peck alive alive, the result of careful treatment.

And then XS, I are not looking for novelties, for the most part played in the old Turkey and Bagram, with its outdated graphics. Heating last game was Darksouls 3, a month ago, passed it in some places because of lighting problems were. And then suddenly, when the movie looked. I did not promise, so to speak.

Well, it is everyone's business. It is not new and in a comfortable igroprotsess. Not necessarily to take the top card, and 1060 can do. But it's required if you're a player in a computer game. ) And there, as you know.

Called service centers, a couple of potsev considers a meaningless venture, and the rest kazhetsa able to replace the thermal compound. Clear.
