Need some Advice

Dissonance · 02-22-2008, 10:53 AM

So through the miracle of events, water ended getting splashed into the inside of my case.

The computer (graphics card, I believe) went dead, but is now back to normal. Obviously, I am not too trusting of its current state. I am going to run memtest and 3d mark to try and test the computer, but besides those programs any ideas on a benchmark app I could run to test the computer out and make sure everything is ok.

Test your CPU and memory with Prime95.

Download, and run torture test.

If you ever get a piece of hardware wet the trick is to just not use it until it is 100% dry. If you do that 9/10 times your stuff will be fine. Its when you try to run electrical current through the components when its wet that there are issues. All in all, if it all appears to be working ok, i would say you are fine.

Through one test and running Unreal and WoW in Crossfire all is well.

The problem was though fluffy, I was playing when it happened... so the electricity was free to jump to anywhere

Amazingly, nothing has showed up, everything is running as normal (including the hotspot between my graphics card)

Not all is perfect
