    mahoutsukai got a reaction from podkall in PC Bootlooping.   
    I did make sure that the clip was fully engaged before turning it on. I just haven't been touching the system for the last few days and it just has been sitting without cover in my desk with no power. But, I think you might be right, the GPU might've been bumped since for some reason even with the clip fully engaged and the GPU slotted in all the way (it had an audible click) it is still quite loose if I didn't screw it in (I forgot to mention that the build was without a case since my friend had his own). Thanks for the help!

    If you ever get your electronics soaked in water or something similar there is a nice little trick to help save them. First off the big killer of components that get wet are either a short (from being powered on while still wet) and the corrosion/rusting of the areas that were wet over time.
     
    So the trick I have found and used many times over the years is to immediately powered off the device if it is on. Then fill a tub or container with 99% isotropic alcohol. I then submerge the item in the alcohol for about 5 minutes. I then immediately remove the item and put it in a seal-able back with rice for about 12-24 hrs.
     
    The reasoning behind this is alcohol is lighter than water. So when you submerge the item in alcohol it forces the water out of it and to the bottom of the tub. Then since alcohol dehydrates extremely fast it doesn't sit on your components for as long causing rust/corrosion. Then lastly the bag with rice will draw out the rest of the moisture and your device should be fine to go after that.
     
    Hope this helps someone.

    tbh I spilled it because after i opened the fruit and filled my jug with coconut water, a cockroach came flying by and I accidentally hit the jug with my hands to the direction of my mouse. Well at least I dont have to worry since my mouse and wacom is doing fine, except my mousepad tho it stinks

    I didnt expect it to work even after I dried it out for 1-5 hours since I spilled A JUG of coconut water. But I think since Its like raw coconut water it doesnt do much damage but man I have another problem now, My mouse is literally disgusting with all those coconut meat. Edit : I dont have isopropyl alcohol currently but I did wipe it out and dried it out with a hair dryer

    Did you lick it?
     
    It seems cheap, I'd just unscrew it and try to wipe everything with something carefuly. Or if you don't want to do that, just let it dry on its own for a few hours (5 a t least). Make sure the water can easily escape through cavities.

    any situation where you think your having GFX problems use DDU to uninstall and reinstall your drivers... if the problem continues more trouble shooting is required... try that and report back

    mahoutsukai reacted to Lord Nicoll in is my graphics card dying?   
    Green screening is definitely a GPU issue, my 980 does that when running unstable clocks. Check temps and see what speed the card is boosting too, if needed, apply a negative offset of 100MHz to keep the card slower and see does that make them go away after you tried a fresh driver install. Keep the card under 70°C too if possible

    Test it on another PC with the latest software. If it just stops randomly working on both PCs, RMA it. If it works fine on one PC, that should tell you where the problem is.

    mahoutsukai got a reaction from G97 in Can I upgrade my CPU   
    If you want to prolong your laptop's usability by a little more, go for it its only 4 usd but the downside of it is just it wont hold on for a long time and prob you will need to change/buy a new laptop soon after you upgrade.

    mahoutsukai reacted to RawLobster in value ram is it okay to buy?   
    Pretty much any decently reputable brand's ram will be fine, as in not harmful or worse as long as it's compatible with your setup. It won't be as fast and probably will be binned lower so it won't overclock as well either, but it will work just fine. Ryzen does seem to benefit more from higher speed memory, though Intel does see some marginal gains as well for what it's worth.

    mahoutsukai got a reaction from ARikozuM in PUBG on an i3   
    I have an i3 6100 before and it runs fine on my system  its just kind of slow sometimes on when you're just starting the game. It took a while to load the map at first but after a few sessions It was on something like 60-90's depending on where you are (inside buildings its mainly 90ish) And for a 750 ti i think its kinda enough

    You should wait for Ryzen 3 and see how the prices for Ryzen 5 and 7 will adjust.
     
    Alternatively...
     
    Look at what your motherboard supports and see which processor is faster and then look on eBay , lots of Korean and Hong Kong sellers have such processors for a good price.
     
    Here's a reasonably good site to compare raw performance between processors models (except integrated graphics) that could help you figure out if it's worth upgrading to something else :  http://cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php
     
    Unless the score of the new cpu is at least 50% higher than your current cpu I'd say don't bother changing it.
