    Hi,

    Ive got an 8800m GTX, and it appears to work, but it can't seem to run 3d

    Also, there are pink dots when I go in the BIOS and on the startup screen some of the letters are blue.

    I'm wondering is this card dead?

    Is it possible that baking it in the oven might fix it?

    Cheers
