Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong section im new.
This is long winded, i just want to give all of the details!
I built a gaming PC a long time ago now. It comprises of:
AMD FX 8350 8 Core
Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0
MSI R9 280X
8GB Corsair RAM
Corsair force 180GB SSD
750W Single rail PSU
H100i Not the best but it does the job for me!
It worked great for ages!
Anyway, My girlfriend spilt her drink on my desk, it ran over the desk and poured off the side into my PC. The top mounted h100i sucked it in and spat it all over. I quickly unplugged it all and got drunk :/ (No i did try and remove as much of the liquid as possible and took the graphics card out.)
Anyway, i cleaned it all up with electrical board cleaner, in an aerosol can and blasted all over, where it looked sticky etc. It cleaned up fine and cant tell it ever had liquid in it. I left it another 4 days after cleaning it all before booting it up. In a WARM room with the summer sun! So it got a good drying out.
Good news, it worked fine, for weeks and weeks. Then one day during GTA online, it crashed and cut out on me. I tried resetting it, but it was a PSU trip. So i had to reset the power. Since it booted back up its never been the same. Games had HUGE lag to them. The shadows had white noise in them. So i took it all apart and messed on with it, rebuilt it, and it worked a lot better. The shadows still had the white noise and marks though. But games were playable, so i used it for a year and half like that.
I decided to format it. And given the PSU was mounted upside down, it also sucked in a lot of the liquid. So much liquid poured out of the PSU at the time of the drink, i decided id replace it. Since formatting windows and the new psu, whenever i play games it completly cuts out 2 minutes in to any game! PSU trip
Ive tried a new graphics card, known working, and its exactly the same.
Ive now obviously had 2 PSU's
So it leaves me with CPU, RAM and MOBO
Ive ran prime95 and it hits 100% fine, and uses 6gb ram.
As soon as i stress the GPU the PC cuts out.
