Bought a 7950 GT AGP off e-bay. Card was un-usable due to a totally pixelated screen on boot, even in the bios. (Bad vram I suspect)
So....being the smart guy that I am, I figured I'll bake it and if it still fails I'll just put in a Paypal claim right? lol, not so much. Did my usual 8 minutes at 375 degrees.......at the 6 minute mark KABOOM. Here's what's left.
