Can Roaches damage pc they in between case and backside of mobo?

i mean.. possibly?

 

they'll bring in a very large amount of filth, and with LOTS of filth, the chance of something conductive enough to cause problems getting in the wrong place is exponentially more common.

 

the better question is, why are there roaches in your computer, and why is your first repsonse not to exterminate them, before assessing the damage?

 

as for how to get rid of them.. disconnect all forms of power going to the computer, let it sit for a day to make sure it is properly drained, ideally you can enclose it in some sort of airtight box so you can just fog the air around the computer with insecticide instead of spraying it inside. step one is killing the bugs, step two is removing the mess they left behind THOROUGHLY. expect to be taking off heatsinks, replacing thermal pads, and going trough a larrge amount of cleaning fluids and 99% isopropyl alcohol for rinsing.
