Hmmm, I may have to try again later with the gpu up and see if that works.

Will do and cheers for the card! As I said, I will fold with it, but give it a few weeks as I have a very small room and even playing Bad Company 2 when it is hot caused my room to go to about 40c (with windows open and desk fan on!). I won't forget to though

This is assuming baking works!

No worries, I know what the heats like when folding as my rig is in the bedroom, brings a new meaning to hot, steamy nights lol.

Well, i'm revising at the moment. Baking will most likely happen Sunday. I have to revise tomorrow then i'm off to Wembley on Saturday. I did however try the card out just now pre-baking and it didn't work.

The first work log and videos are to come in about 20 mins.

Try to look at the ram chips and the bios chip on the card, and see if they are not on flat or are crooked. What happens is basicly the same problem as red ringed 360's, the board heats up and cools down unevenly. So something like the bios chip or ram that is only held down by soder and maybe a thermal pad, gets hot enough to make the soder soft. Then if it cools down unevenly it can move, and thus break some of the connections that were sodered on. So by bakeing it you hope to heat up the card to a point where the soder is almost liquid and cool down the card evenly to get the chip to reset where is should be. The problem is that some soder gets brittlle after heating and cooling, and baking could only bee a temp fix. A pernament fix is to hold all of the chips in place. Full coverage WB are one of the only ways to do that. Adding some cooling to the back side of the board where the problem chip is may also help.

I baked a 8800gt a few weeks back. It just died again a few days ago and rebaking it yielded no luck.

Hmm, OK. Would you bake it with the GPU upwards, or downwards facing the foil? Secondly, would getting something flat, laying it across the memory and then attaching it via string or something help?

1: Tested the card pre-bake. It failed hard. I noticed some damage to the corner of the PCB and i'm not sure whether that is a potential cause? Pics and video:
