here is the original ticket as it explains the problem:

Your Question:

My current GPU has a problem. First of all, while the computer is in post, the GPU Geforce GTX logo turns off until the monitor lights up with the bios screen. (IMG_0009.JPG and IMG_0007.JPGshows the GPU with lights on while IMG_0012.JPG shows the GPU with the lights off during post.). Then, when the GPU boots into windows or ubuntu, red lines appear just before the login screen can load and ends with a black screen after a while.(IMG_0010.JPG shows the red lines just before the black screen and IMG_0011.JPG shows the black screen.) When I remove the Nvidia drivers, the system does boot successfully and will not crash, but has artifacts all over the screen as seen in IMG_0013.JPG. EVGA support ticket page says my image is too big so I added a google drive link instead.

Your Answer:

Hello,

I'm sorry about this issue with your graphics card. It definitely sounds like a hardware issue with the card but unfortunately we cannot assist with a replacement since the card is out of warranty at this point. 

If you have any further questions or comments please let us know.

regards,
EVGA
 

Do you experience the same issue when using a different display cable & output? If yes, you might want to try the baking the card in the oven to see that might help bring it back to life.

you could test a few things like said above but   '' When I remove the Nvidia drivers, the system does boot successfully and will not crash, but has artifacts all over the screen''   that can point to a defective or failed  card .. 
 
I guess you could try to test your card in another capable computer like if you got a buddy with a solid gaming rig   and see how it does in it  ?  I assume a backup card your now using is working fine  and as expected ?

My computer is a Gigabyte GA-X99P-SLI. There is no integrated graphics in this motherboard. Yes, I did swap cables, PCIe ports, and monitors. Monitor is a Samsung 1920x1080. Yes, I tried to change the PSU cables bit it will still not work. The PSU is a Hercules 1600 Watt. Nvidia Driver is the one downloaded from EVGA's Website. I have Windows 10 Fall creators version 1709. Same things happen in UBUNTU 16.04. I'm not sure what drivers are in Ubuntu though.   Another GPU, EVGA 9800 GT works ok though.

have you tried down clocking the core by chance? thats usually a solid indicator of a failure.

Is there an alternative first before I bake ot

Baking is your best bet. Make sure you bake the card in an over that isn't your main oven.

Cool GTX

As in an oven you will never use for Food items again ?

Exactly.

You can get a used toaster oven off Craig's List for super cheap.

Can I use a heat gun. I’f I can do I need flux. I have both lying around at my garage

I wouldn't use a heat gun.

LOL.
Who has a spare oven laying around?
LOL.
 
I would try to take the card apart, and see if the thermal paste is any good.
After 3 years or more, it would need replacing.
 
Hmmmm.....
A LOT of the problems I am seeing with these 900 cards are all with X99 mobo's? (not ALL, but a goodly sum of them are).
I am wondering if there is some compatibility issue with them.
They were the very 1st to support usb 3.1 and M.2 drives.
Just a thought....

sorry for the late response, bit it is a recertified card and it only has a 1 year warrenty. I am on a budget with these cards. 

It sounds like it is dead.  There is not much a shop will be able to do without access to proprietary information and without access to replacement components.

SLiu
Do you know how to somehow force a rma request even if it gets rejected

No point in submitting a request just for it to get rejected.

Sorry, I cannot pm you so can you pm me instead

I am willing to take it to a shop as long as they can fix it. I might have not made it clear but it is EVGA that won’t repair it

Ah, ok, I didnt see that.
Do you know a place that repairs video cards?
Troubleshooting whats wrong can get expensive if they dont know what they are doing. :(
