Hi everyone,
Well it's my first comp build and I had everything running fine till I realized I forgot to install the I/O shield! I took everything out (jesus why didn't I read the instructions) and I was trying to force the shield but in the process I cut myself and didn't realize till I saw pools of blood around the case. Thankfully its only on a PCI slot and a little on the PCB. I wiped everything with a wet tissue but there are still blood stains in the PCI holes. What should I do? I heard hair drying the board but I'm afraid to do anything right now. Help? =(

I would think you could run some rubbing alcohol into the slot and let it dissolve the bld and then shake out the alcohol(and blood) onto a paper towel. Do this several times till the blood is all gone and then use a hair dryer to evaporate any residual alcohol.
Of course, I've never had to do this myself;)

Yeah rubbing alcohol will do. Believe it or not I have given showers to motherboards in the past and they all worked fine. (Of course this is NOT recommended)
