Bit more info and a Hello would't go miss 
LOL mybad... Hello guys and gals.. Well my card is a 9800 and it wont post any picture or even bois screen, day before it worked fine. Ive tried another card in my system and its fine.

I need to say, I wouldnt mind hearing if anyone has tried the oven trick, I have a card that artifacts but always seen ovens as something for the Sunday roast not my pride and joy graphics card collection.

Given the card is dead, putting it in the oven is not going to make it any more dead. What have you got to lose?

I dont wanna threadjack, I agree with you about the dead card for OP but for me all I was looking for is how others done it.
Temps, did you wrap it in tinfoil, how long, why does this work etc.
Now im not a google hater and I have searched LIKE THIS
I just want some feedback from a forum I trust
Sorry if that was on the verge of thread jacking

I did it with a naked 8800GT which was failing memtestg80 and therefore wouldn't fold but it didn't make any difference for me. YMMV
Welcome to the forums
I have done the oven trick on numerous cards, numerous times - both for artifacting and for no post - the only things I can tell you are:
1 its a risk
2 its trial and error - I use a pre-heated fan oven on 200 for between 5-8 mins
3 I sometimes cover in foil, sometimes dont
4 dont give up if it doesnt work first time - try again
5 it wont last forever so be prepared to try again
6 on a card that wont post it worked to allow it to post but still artifacted (I should have tried again but as the card was just for test I didnt bother - may give another go this weekend if I can find it)
Hope that helps
