This prob the most obivious thing in the world, but did you check the warranty?
A lot of companies have long warranties. Like gigabyte for example, offers 3 year warranties on their video cards.
Topic: burned out radeon 7950 (Read 952 times)
the card did post initially but no longer --- card looks fine does not show any signs of wear --- was mining at 450 khs --- tried to reinstall drivers but failed.
I've got a one year old 7950 that has been used for mining / overclocked for a year. It doesn't seem to work is it trash or can these cards be refurbished and if yes how? I heard someone talking about flashing the card.
What problems does it exhibit? Is it detected by the OS?
Can you install drivers and it do basic graphic function?
Do you see anything physically burnt on the card?
Artifacting?
Or Just locks up when it mines?
There are many different levels of doesn't seem to work some of which may be fixable....

No warranty left?
Flashing the firmware on a burnt out card isn't going to un-burn it, is it?
