My Specs: 3200+ Venice 939 E6 stepping DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra D UT HIS x850xt PCIE 512x2 Corsair ValueSelect About 2 weeks ago, I spilled my a drink on my PC, ruined my previous motherboard and CPU. I assumed the CPU was dead because I tried it in a new motherboard (My current DFI...

It's very small amount of Arctic Silver 5, thin as, if not thinner, than a hair and long as about half of a grain of rice. I'm not really sure how it got there.. So, Is it a danger to my CPU? Thanks in advance.

Kepp in mind that I am working with an assumed dead CPU and getting ready to get it replaced. See this thread http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=27&threadid=1846840&enterthread=y Alright, Well I was taking the HSF off my CPU (AMD 3200+ 939) and I noticed that it was stuck on...

Hmm, I guess I'll be buying a new 3200+ soon. This time with the venice core.

Alright, I tried booting on a piece of cardboard. No go. Same deal, boots for a second. While was at it, I installed the rest of the standoffs into my case. And also, I didn't see any signs of the drink under CPU or socket at all.

Hmm, I'll check if any standoffs are touching or not soon. If some standoffs ARE touching the motherboard in places besides the screw holes, would it damage my system?

I have about 4-5 brass standoffs installed. I have the remaining ones uninstalled as I misplaced them when I was installing the new mobo. I found them later on, though. Should I install the remaining ones? Also, my front panel won't function, I might have put the wires in incorrectly but I'm not...

Hmm, well the the thing that gets me is that the PC used to stay on for 10-15 seconds and then went down to booting for a split second. When it stayed on for 10-15 seconds, I wouldn't get a picture and my monitor doesn't show any activity and stays on the "stand by" orange LED. Now, with my new...

Heheh :laugh: Anyway, I hope it's ONLY the CPU. I could manage to get that replaced. I hate to do this with AM2 on the way though.

Here's my case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147001 I had my PC laying on it's side at the time. The drink went through the vent on the window.

Ok, I tried booting without the Video card. Same thing.

Hmm, Alright. I'll try that.

Well, three days ago, I spilled my drink on my PC. It got through one of the fan vents and landed right on the motherboard, right near the CPU. The PC was ON and RUNNING at the time the drink got on it. It shut off about 5 seconds after the drink made contact. It looked like it was only a...

Beatles Anthology. (Think of a HUGE, black, rough, book.)

Hmm, My PC has started doing this too. It stays on the load-bar screen from 1-6 minutes all most every time I boot up.
