I had a gtx 9800 dying on me once and I had no money and no proper cash flow for the following months after.
So I baked my gpu in the oven 8minutes 200c.

It lasted until I was able to upgrade to a 660ti 5 months later.

Haha that's awesome I did this too with the same exact GPU!

Huge spark arced across my motherboard when I was taking out a graphics card. Like blue arc level of power with a loud pop.

Computer didn't turn on at first *Shit bricks* cleared CMOS and it said "OVERCLOCK FAILED" the computer rebooted itself and the comp has been running fine since 2013.

That's why you buy a decent motherboard meant for overclocking so it has fail safes against random currents going where they shouldn't.

Yes the computer was unplugged and i made sure to ground myself before i began, I forgot to hold down the power button on the comp to discharge everything from the system though which is what likely caused this.
