Baked my 9800GX2 and failed

I acquired a desktop computer recently and the gfx card came w/it; but didn't put any video out from any of the dvi or hdmi ports. The lights around the power plugs and the fan worked. I tested this card in 3 different computers w/the same results, so I decided to bake it.
Yesterday I baked it at 385* for 10 minutes and let it sit overnight. Today I rebuilt the card, but didn't put the metal case back on just in case I needed to do more with it. With the gfx card in the motherboard now it constantly reboots and still doesn't show anything on screen.
Is there anything else I can do to try to make it work? Would baking it again do anything? It doesn't really matter if it gets ruined worse even tho I'd love it if it did work. It was free so doesn't matter what I do to it.

You can try re-baking it. It won't hurt anything.
I also tried setting my BIOS to run the graphics off of the onboard CPU gfx, but once I put the 9800 back in I cant even get up to BIOS
Might try baking it again tomorrow or sometime soon after that.
