Have you tried to reflow in the oven?

Not the best with electronics. How do you do that?

Google it. Strip the board of fans and heat sinks.

Lay on oven tray with foil balls. 200 degrees for 7/8 minutes. Let it cool properly. See if it works.

There is a nice video on Linus tech tips on it. I’ve done it many times over the years and does work if it is related to a solder issue which yours probably is.

I'm sorry what.

What on earth gives you the idea that this is a solder issue?

Worked > unplugged > (solder suddenly decided to bug out while unplugged) > plugged back in > didn't work. Yeah, that makes sense 🙄

If i were OP I'd find someone to test the card in their machine for him, as this sounds more likely to be a bad pcie slot (could even be as simple as not seated correctly), power issue (could be psu related, or perhaps OP forgot to plug in the 8 pin, happens to the best of us) or even some word BIOS thing where a simple BIOS reset fixes things (I have had this happen.)

I am not against baking, I've done it plenty myself.

I am against people who (irresponsibly) throw around bad advise.

Baking a card is an absolute last resort, not the very first option.

OP mentioned he isn't very good with electronics so he'll likely follow most advise he gets, and now you've given him the advise to potentially (unnecessarily) bake his card.

Use your brain man.

Checked on friends pc, my old pc, my new build. Even different PSUs, 550w and 650w.
Checked the components on the board from continuity, all 100s.

Not assumptions, troubleshooting steps.

Better than blindly baking

 

[Ake]

Guys guys, chill out, I am collecting tomorrow morning and will see if there is something to salvage, might even throw something to OP if it was something simple. Will update and advise. I absolutely love this site but I think some people really take advantage of the lesser knowledgeable.

 

[Ake]

With that said I agree with Pala, baking is your last resort.

 

[Dudman]

Aparently i was not haha

Yeah, first thought it was me that was first in line (I actually did pm him first, he did confirm it to me) He then told me it was you that was first but it was actually @Ake ? 🤷‍♂️
