I've Never Seen a Mac Pro Freeze Like This

Just curious as to why it would display the White Apple Logo screen and this screen perfectly if the graphics card was bad....?

Less load would be my guess, the white apple screen is 2d unlike the desktop.

I 2nd the GPU. If it is 8800gt you have better than 50/50 odds of a resurrection.

375 for 9 minutes is my recipe. Fan off, laying on its back on 4 balls of foil. Do some reading on this site and PC sites.

Lead was a lovely ingredient for solder, removing it for health reasons led to these issues. (Sorry for pun)

Just baked it and it WORKED. Not sure how long it will last haha

Wow. At least I know it's the graphics card now if it comes up again.

Thank you all for your help on this!!!
