And although I have heard about putting a dying hard drive in the freezer (inside a plastic bag of course) it has never once saved a dead drive for me. Glad to hear it helped you.

It's an old evga card I use on my back up sys. After it had messed up I was back to an even older 5700le from ages ago. Well after letting it cool for about 5 min I decided to test it. It actually worked I was so relieved I wasn't stuck with 5700le for much longer. Thanks to this little article I have a decent back up sys...Did you hear the one about freezing old harddrives?

It finally wouldn't even come up after turning on and off several times so I found this article after a friend at work told me he had done the same to his card and it fixed it. It's only been a few hours but I thought it was dead after it wouldn't turn back on 10 times in a row. Great article and saved me from buying another laptop or ebaying a 7800gtx.
