I recently found my first graphics card from 2006. An Asus EN7900GT, which was PCIe, had 2 DVI ports (and an S-Video port), and a whopping 256MB of onboard memory.

That artifacting can be caused by dry solder joints as well, especially if the cards overheated. If you cant find anything wrong with the SMD's its worth baking it to reflow the solder just in case thats the issue, also if it works could result in another video 😊

Had this same issue a while ago. The gpu needs reballing. In safe mode it operates on the minimum freq, voltage etc.. When installing drivers, it uses the proper settings up to specs, which crashes the card. Not the drivers or windows fault at all. Pure hardware issue unfortunately.

I've had a few AMD cards overheat with no fan spinning. Usually it's after driver installs. The first card I ever saw overheat and die was an AMD R9 280x. Once it overheated, the core was so hot it actually was damaged. You could see artifacting just like on the screen you had.

But if i use the AMD software to change the voltage or the frequency settings in the tuning menu, it will fix itself and run at a good temp. Very strange behavior.

Wooow I remember this card! I remember debating whether to get the 7770 or the 7790 back in the day. Got the 7790, overclocked it as hard as possible and managed to rock it until getting the GTX760

My guess is: one of the vcore phases died, and now there is too much stress on the other phase resulting in unstable power delivery. But that's going to be close to impossible to diagnose and potentially fix

This behavior, specifically the artifacting in vertical bands (when drivers are loaded) is a sign of bad memory. GPU is probably fine and yes it prevents itself from overheating if fan is bad but memory doesn't.

At 3:07 mark, with the card port side on left of video, I can see part of the gold plating on the second from far right side end, the second one in from side nearest the L shaped side of long connector, has a bit of the gold missing from the connector. It's possible that could cause a bad connection in the slot on motherboard.

Greg, can you update your cleaning gear links? I specifically want to know the new air duster you are using. But you are linking the old one. Also some other links seems dead.

i have a question, a friend of mine has a GTX 770 that he used till he upgraded to a 1080, he was going to sell to my father, but when we tested it out it did boot into windows, but then when you try to install drivers it doesn't post, and this was in my PC(i have a EVGA 750w 80+ gold PSU), i placed it in my brothers PC, his has a weaker PSU, and it booted, tried to install drivers, but same issue, i unplugged any extras, like extra hard drives and DVD drive, and it would constantly boot but not install drivers, any idea on a solution?

Seen something similar to this years ago, with a buddy's GPU. I think it was a GTX 280 iirc, but it behaved almost identical to this. What happed with his was, when trying to clean the thing, he vacuumed over the fan and spun it up so fast, that the charge it generated, fried the card. The artifacting it produced was a little different than what this one showed, but it behaved, almost identical. The boot looping in particular, and this was back on Windows 8. Pretty sure he either fried the ram, or gpu itself. It's quite possible the damage to this card, was irreversible.

Very interesting and entertaining video, as usual, señor Gregorio. Thank you very much.

I'm fascinated by your videos❤️

I picked up a 5770HD locally for $15 a couple of years back. I had a similar issue, very dusty, but the fan did spin. After cleaning and re-pasting, it would boot into windows but had some odd artifacts on occasion and slow downs. I figured the chip had deteriorated, so busted out the heat gun to "re-ball". That seemed to fix it - which more often than not is a temporary fix. I still have the card and use it in an old LGA775 build that sits in the garage for when I do car repairs/upgrades and want to refer to repair manuals, videos etc. without greasing up my phone.

I promised I'd come and watch the video after the McLaren car launch, so here I am. Could the culprit be the BIOS of the graphics card? I've seen similar behaviour with cards that have the wrong BIOS or a corrupted version. Keep up the great work, Greg. I'm looking forward to more PCDC and Fix or flop videos. Those are really good.

I've been having blue screens for the last few weeks. They persist and change codes through a few different windows installs. Drivers are all up to date. Windows is up to date. I've remove my cpu overclock. I've switched the ram. The only thing that stopped the blue screens was removing my gpu overclock. I've had that same overclock for about 3 years now. I think it's either the gpu or the psu. How should I go about singling this issue out? I've ordered a psu tester to check my voltages.

this reminds me of last year when I took my old 7970 apart. It was working just fine but running very hot when I decided to finally put it up for sale on something like offerup. so i got some new thermal paste and thermal pads, took the card apart, cleaned it up with new tim and pads, put it back together and was immediately getting very similar artifacting. I wound up taking it apart one more time to make sure I had put all the thermal pads in the right spots, put it back together and still same artifacting. Started going through driver troubleshooting and then the card just stopped working. I think I may have put to much pressure on one or more screws when putting it back together(i know better than to crank down on it, but maybe I still used to much force). Is it possible that at some point in the cards past it too was taken apart, repasted and then later on started showing artifacts due to incorrect pressure used when mounting the cooler? this might explain why paste didn't look that old for a card that is very old. when i took my old 7970 apart, the thermal paste flaked off, it was really bad.

I've seen this type of behaviour, vertical lines, with a couple of GPUs some 13 years ago. One XFX Nvidia card and one Sapphire AMD card. Due to high ambient temperature, in a very hot country, the cards overheated as the fans were not efficiently cooling the GPU. This was in a heavily used game rig.

Hi Greg Have you ever thought of building a computer with part's from the 80's and 90's, you know those old school mother boards, graphics cards, processers and so on to see if they can still be used today 2022,running Windows 98, XP, vista and so on, just to see if they can cope with simple tasks of running 1080p games and other programs, just in case someone out there still has a pc running and just wants a couple of extra gigabytes of storage, ram, memory or speed. As I have a couple of Intel motherboards that could run Windows 98,but would struggle with XP, vista and so on. Would be fun to see if they are capable of doing basic tasks like running Internet searches and some basic game plays with the modern games. Just a thought to put out there in the computer tech world. Loving the video's and the information into the parts of the pc and so on.

great video I love these type of videos. The only other thing I could think of is a corrupt V bios.

it seems like the same problem with my old gtx 780 can't even install the driver every time i tried to do the windows breaks and goes into boot loop

How does he plug the HDMI in first try? I always have to try it upside down before I can plug it in the right way.

I just revived my old Radeon HD5770 to give to a friend who is struggling with 4th gen intel integrated graphics. The thermal paste had basically turned into powder but after a re-application and a deep clean of the fan/heatsink, its still going (relatively) strong at over a decade old now. My backup GPU is an HD7850 that could probably use the same treatment too, I hope I can keep it going for years to come.

I had the same issue with a Sapphire HD7950. I overheated the card after the fans failed. It reached 99 C, which shouldn't have been a big issue as I shut it down as soon as I realized it was overheating, but it did fry the 2nd v bios. I replaced the fans, and the card worked fine for a while, but started exhibiting the same artifacting yours did. I baked the card and it worked fine for 8 months, but eventually completely died.

I have an R9 290 which did exactly the same. As it was I had the side of my pc off and notice the card sagged slightly (quite normal), but as I lifted it the corruption stopped and returned when I let go. In short I propped it up with an empty monster can and its been fine ever since.

I ran into same issue with 1650 super gforce 4gb. I tried to wipe the data but motherboard wasn't detected gpu. Everything works fine until I do updates then goes to black screen then I have to wipe hdd start all over downloading windows 10....

Great video. Like you had mentioned - might be a bad bios chip or another IC.

Some other factors: 1. There may be a firmware update available. "GPU-Z" can identify the current video card firmware. 2. Check for UEFI compatibility using the free "GPU-Z" program. 3. Depending on the UEFI compatibility, may require setting the motherboard configuration set to "CSM Enabled". In which case, would also require complete Windows re-install with "CSM Enabled". 4. Check the status while the motherboard bios on-board graphics is set to "Enabled" instead of "Auto". Then plug in the graphics card, but the monitor still connected to the motherboard's HDMI port.

Greg I fixed aold graphics card for my only desktop at the time my new build wasn't done yet and I still wanted to play games but it would artifact and freeze and crashed the games to desktop. I looked in the case and the fans were so clogged with dust that the blades couldn't spin. So one day I decided heck I will try cleaning it and see if that worked. It did, you got to peal off the seal on the back because dust can block the contact with the motor in the fan and also absorb the lubricant,, I opened it up there was nothing but dust rapped around the geal, so I cleaned that out. Relubracated it taped the seal back on and put the card back in with new thermal paste and the card fired up like new.

I had a 660 with the same shroud. Sold it this year for 30. Glad it makes someone else happy now

Is this card an upgrade from the 5600g with int graphics?

My rx 580 did the same thing, it even escalated to where all of the screen was red fracturing. It was only the hdmi cable like you suggested. I had to set aside the gpu for months cause i thought it was already dying.

Hat's off to you sir, i m watching your videos from last 1 year. Love from India sir

I had this exact card but it had an issue with the fan where it was either off or at 100% so i strapped a 120mm fan to it with zip ties.

Have ever worked on on a thermaltake level 10/;20? would love to see it

Artifacts are usually caused by bad VRAM. My guess is module c based on the green lines. You should try to get mats and t server. They are really good tools for that type of diagnostic

I hope the fans or you Can answer my question I got a 3060 ventus 3x yesterday I currently have a ryzen 3 3200 would I have bottleneck problems I also got a power supply to support the gpu

Those lines on startup look like memory corruption on one bank of chips. Necroware covered this on a GCN 4 card (RX580)

Usually what happens is that the card first will work since there are no drivers installed. After drivers installation the card will try to operate at its “full potential”, and that’s when things will start to go south. Same happened to me with an old gtx980, awful day, such a good card that failed one day to the other.

You could test the vrams on it and if any of them isnt working try to reflow/change it with flux...

I had the same problem with my evga gtx 750 ti, i tried so many things, and none of them worked and the last thing i tried is different versions of drivers, i somehow found an older drivers for card and it worked for me, and to this day im still using it 😀😀

I had the exact same card which was my first dedicated GPU, and I loved it.

Same problem with the radeon r7 265 2gb, black screen after install drivers, the image colored

greg so the boot loop happened to me also. so to fix it what i did is to reinstall the whole windows and clean my whole hard disk wipe

I also had the same issue with a vapor-x 7770. The card died after few days when those vertical lines appeared.

I had the same issue with a GT 8800 a looooong time ago after I did something stupid in Furmark. Long story short, I knew from the beginning of the video you were not going to have luck with this one. The GPU core is toast, nothing you can do. Great video as always, I really enjoy your channel!

nothing is wrong with the core but rather the soldier joints between the flip chip and the package. These can be temporarily repaired with a heat gun but will fail again.

The only thing that I could think that might yolo fix it would be to re-flash the original bios on it if there's a backup on techpowerup for that model. It's pretty common for cards to seem to work fine and then when drivers load things go down the drain. The artifacts lead me to think the flash wouldn't be successful though.

Wow I could really use that video card. I 've been looking for a cheap card for a old computer I have. I lost all my video cards when we got flooded in September.

My older brother owns this card, really should remind him to clean it up and re-paste. Also, is it natural for a high-power GPU to heat up rapidly when fans are not spinning? Mine is MSI R7950 with Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II cooler (250W rated). Fans do work, but i have to get an molex to 3-pin adapter since both 4-pin attached to the PCB and 3-pin connected to PSU are required for them to run. Idle sits at 40-50C, set to lowest speeds, and manages to reach 100C after few minutes while under load. Hopefully did not cause any damage as this happened 5 times, each the moment hit 100C i put it back to idle. No artifacts, no crashes. Processor, together with VRAM modules at this scenario were always at safe temps, around 50-60C. Left side panel has been removed for such reason, other than having to tidy up PSU cables that go outside the case, with single fan on the front. It got cleaned up, re-pasted with NT-H1, also has pads on memory modules.

I have this exact same card that I purchased with my AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black CPU and Gigabyte motherboard way back in September of 2012. I looked up my order on TigerDirect, and I paid $119 for it. I've kept this card around to put into test systems since it was the oldest Radeon HD family that had Windows 10 drivers.

I would disagree with the ports as they are pretty decent. The card has Displayport and HDMI and the DVI is most likely digital so it's pretty modern for it's age.

I wish Greg would do an oven bake video on a card or at least a heat gun video on an artifacting card to see if that fixes it. I've fixed a few video cards using the oven method.

I had a Dell N7110 with a GT 525m that would get random artifacts in Windows 10 but never had an issue with 7. Just cause windows 10 will install a driver or you get one claiming to work with windows 10 doesn't mean it really is compatible.

So the windows generic drivers work?

*Love your videos*

that strawberry banana smoothie in the sponsor looked amazing ngl

I have an old HD 7870 that "died" on me 3 weeks ago with kinda the same issue. It's working fine until the driver loads.. after that I get nothing. I will try to fix it by putting it as a secondary card into a system that works and then try to reflash the BIOS because after 10 years there might be some issue with it. Maybe you could try the same with this card.

Funny to see I use that same exact duster

I actually own the 7790 version of that card. Looks almost the same with the two blue bars on it single fan MSI R7790-1GD5/OC. The fan went out on it and it was behaving very similarly. I found a fan on eBay at the time and that fixed it. Could be like you said the thing just burned up because of it.
