So... I just fixed my ruined 8800 GTX graphics card by baking it in the oven
Went from heavy artifacting on startup followed by a BSOD to flawlessly running M&B on max graphics for 5 minutes, haven't had time to test it further yet.
Mindboggling ****ing stuff...
It's apparently a semi-legit way of fixing electronics in general:
