HELP: graphics card no boot

Keep getting Dr. Debug error D6, 5 beeps and then i get error62. Nothing comes up on screen. I dont get any errors if I use my onboard gpu from my mobo which leads me to believe the mobo isn't a issue. I tried using a different pci express slot but same problem. Please help?

One thing I did learn to help fix that problem was taking the ram out, then putting it back in. Try that first, if there is no picture. Then you might need to contact the company that manufactured your graphics card and get an RMA going

hmm i dont think the ram trick is gonna work for this one cus it does boot if i take out the gpu and use onboad gpu. Also I'd have to take apart my noctua d14 to access my ram sticks :/. Im using the old 295 and i'm sure the warranty has expired thus... i doubt i can rma it and i do not have $300 to spend on a 570

What company did your GPU Come from?

Well what you can do is load up on a Radeon HD 6870 or a GTX 560TI Edition

You would probably be better off with a Radeon HD 6870, gets about the same performance of a GTX 560TI.

Might be time the for the oven ;)

oven?

Yup, when an old GPU dies it is usually because the soldier inside the chip has hairline cracks from so much heating and cooling over the years, it can develop over time, if you overheat it one day and the computer crashes for example and it goes back to room temperiture too quickly it can produce a hairline/s crack and there fore the card is dead.

 

This is the main reason a GPU dies and 90% of the time why.

 

What you do it take the cooler off, get a baking tray and put a layer of foil on it. Use 4 balls of foil on each corner of the card to keep it off the tray and place it chip side down.

Preheat the oven to 190-200 degrees C  (I can remember the exact tempuriture, look it up) and place to bake for 8-10 minutes :)

 

What this does is heat the card up to the point where soldier melts (but not hot or long enough for the actual card or components to get any harm) So the soldier melts back together where the hailine cracks were.

 

 

This is a very common fix and has a surprizingly high success rate.

I have fixed a GTX 465 (Which im using in another PC still) and a 8800GT (which still works)
