Hello, I've an old AMD RadeonHD4890 (ASUS EAH4890) which recently has run into issues. This summer it was used for long gaming sessions (about 5 hours per day), with about 40c ambient temperature and the card running at 75c and being cleaned every 2 or 3 weeks with blower. But during a lightweight web surfing it just stopped working.
It does have 2x DVI outputs, one doesn't output anything anymore and the other one outputs corrupted image. What I've tried so far:
- Using HDMI output (bundled DVI->HDMI adapter)
- Swapping RAM slots
- Checking and reconnecting PCI-Express power cables
I was planning to replace the card with an AMD R9 380 but at the moment it's being sold as 1.5-2x the price tag in local shops (I live in Iran) due to low quantity and US sanctions, I can't afford it yet. So I was wondering is it possible to repair the card and what kind of issue are we dealing with here?
Thanks!
