Hello everyone i have an R7 265 it works fine show display no problem but when i get into windows goes black screen turn off all peripheral i try in another system the same again

patent tapir
#

It’s dead

#

You can try reapplying thermal paste, if it’s just an overheat and not damaged will work again. Cards so old it’s probably dead though

warm valley
#

its dead mate

#

It’s likely overheating. Reapply paste. If not damaged it will be fine.

#

Although tbh it’s what a 2gb card? Tf you got that still

#

Must be like 18 years old now or something

subtle spoke
#

No i bought a new one i just wanna see if i can fix it so i can give it to my little cousin everyone have to start from somewhere 😃

patent tapir
#

Apparently 21 years old

#

Yeah those cards ran hot and died a lot from that era

subtle spoke
#

11*

patent tapir
#

Sorry 12 🙂

#

One of my 270x died from hotspot damage

#

I bought this gpu back in 2018 in 24 i give it to my friend he blow it with pressure air to clean it like a week ago and he call me that it doesn't work and bought another and come back on my hands (sorry for any Spelling mistake not my main language)

#

Only hope is new paste and I think that card probably used putty on vram

#

Memory was known to go boom too from heat. Techpowerup pcb photo even shows a damaged module

tender hearth
#

I'm here too

patent tapir
#

It’s dead sim.

tender hearth
#

Rip

patent tapir
#

It’s a Radeon R7

#

It will have died from heat damage long ago but he wants to try

tender hearth
#

Yeeaa no its dead also ain't those so old and slow now to the point included igpus like in am5 cpus just a basic one in a 7600 or smn is as fast or smn

#

5600g pobs is faster

patent tapir
#

It’s uhm. Pretty much HL2 60fps 1080p medium release version

#

It’s that bad now a days

tender hearth
#

Ok yeah no a 5600g is around as fast or faster

patent tapir
#

Should be faster

tender hearth
#

And a 8700g is like 2-3x faster

patent tapir
#

Probably cost him $20

tender hearth
#

I hope it was more like free bucks

subtle spoke
#

I don't even know why so much thermal paste outside

tender hearth
#

Waat why does it almost look like it has sli fingers

patent tapir
#

It had xfire

#

I ran the 270x in xfire

subtle spoke
#

This one?

tender hearth
#

Yes

patent tapir
#

Xfire is the reason one of mine died

#

That paste is THICK

tender hearth
#

O yeah opened a vega 64 I bought as I noticed it was unable to use all the power and only did like 200w and hot spot was 105c

#

This was right after I opened it up, I did nothing to it

#

Someone forgot to add paste after cleaning the old stuff

patent tapir
#

What is that crack?

tender hearth
#

HBM

#

Aka vram

patent tapir
#

Wait

#

Never seen a vegan

tender hearth
#

Vegan

patent tapir
#

Plastic on the pcb?

#

Phone auto correct 😂

tender hearth
#

Nope all metal

#

Only thing plastic there is the fan

patent tapir
#

The shrouding though. That design is wild

tender hearth
#

Even the airbooster shroud thingy is metal

patent tapir
#

Had a 1060 6gb. Never knew the pain of Vega

#

Like the design

I got an old rig in the shed I never use. Think it’s got a 780 and 1095t. Probably should get it out one day see if it works. Just gonna be issues getting hard drives working as the motherboard got static’d. Still works but can’t store bios on a new battery, some of the usb ports are borked also.

#

Gave up tinkering 3 years ago as it was just time consuming and I got some very old HDDs

subtle spoke
#

I have a laptop from 2011
with the factory hdd still rocking hard in 2025

#

Even the cpu in this laptop is in socket i can change it damn i miss this feature

patent tapir
#

Oh don’t. My old laptop was like 2008. It runs windows 7 with massive delay

#

I used it literally to play osrs at 30fps

subtle spoke
#

I dont even know why i still have this laptop i clean it for the first time yesterday It had never been opened

patent tapir
#

I still got it upstairs. If i put xp on it, would probably run fine.

subtle spoke
#

It had the factory stickers on the heatsink for warranty

#

I reinstall the gpu in another system it works fine in bios etc i put in on a fresh installed win10 it goes black screen when the Windows try install the gpu default drivers

patent tapir
#

@tender hearth what was the vega64 equivalent. A 1070?

#

I remember little of that era as I stopped playing in 2018. Just remember everyone I knew had a 1060 or a 1080ti
