I thought this was a myth, but when you're desperate, I think everything sounds like a very good idea.

 

I just got back home after university, and to my surprise my PC wasn't giving me any visual signal. Since this pice of crap already fried one graphics card, I instantly understood what was going on.

Turn off. *lets hope it is just a start up glitch*

Turn on... no signal.

Turn off. *puts hands on the head desperately*

Turn on... no signal.

Turn off. *prays and asks himself the purpose of his existence in the world.*

It just flashed through my mind some people on youtube reviving graphics cards and 360's by overheating them on the oven. That looked pretty wild to do with an eletronic aparatus, and I've got an hairdryer.

*Its now... or never.*

I just opened the guts of my Asus C90S and pulled out this fried piece of shit(nvidia 8600m gt):

Overheated the damn out of it, with no minimal knowledge about how long ot would take, I just did that for while.

Got all the shit back together and...

It works.

 

It just works.

Nvidia Jesus Christ, resurrected from the dead.

Anyone else got a similar story? It will fry again won't it?
