    Help fixing MSI R7 260x card

    Hi everyone, i need some help fixing an msi r7 260x card, the card suddenly stopped working while being idle. There was a short on the vmem line (<1 ohm) on cold testing, but all voltages are present on hot testing, even on the vmem line (1.35v with chips and 1.5 v without) but all 4 vram modules were getting hot, i removed all vram modules(GDDR5 elpida, 4Gb each part no. EDW4032BABG) and three of them have about 7 ohm on vdd and 1 ohm on vddq and one has 18 ohm on vdd and 1 ohm on vddq, i compared this with another GDDR5 module albeit of a smaller size, it has a much higher resistance on vdd and vddq so i suspect that all vram chips are shorted, but I can't think of a reason to get all vram chips shorted at the same time. Also i think the card may still have a chance as it prevents posting (posting stops on the last step before beep) so it may still be trying to initialize, but its only my opinion, still need other's opinion.
Working...
