Question Juice disaster! Can it be saved?

I’ve made a bit of progress on cleaning internally. I think I would at least be able to save some parts. My big concern is that I think juice got under the plate and inside the GPU slot on the motherboard and I can’t figure out how I would clean them.

Question Juice disaster! Can it be saved?

So my cat knocked over a glass of juice on my desk. It ran off and into the PC. It definitely soaked the case USB ports and a smaller amount made it inside. I planned to get a new case and move everything over when it came. This morning I started to remove components and I found a small amount...

New Build $750-$850

I currently have the system up and running with two of the case fans plugged into the MOBO for the interim. One of the front USB 3.0 ports on the case is dead. I guess I have to decide if it is worth it to exchange the case since I'll basically have to rebuild the entire system if I do that. Now...

New Build $750-$850

Well. All the parts are ordered. The things I ordered from Newegg on Wednesday arrived yesterday even with the cheap "slow" shipping. Amazon dropped the price on the 8GB 480 to 280 and I had some Amazon credit to use. That brought everything to close enough to my budgeted amount. Thanks for the...

New Build $750-$850

I'm thinking what I may do is pull the trigger on the items that are on sale like the CPU/MOBO/RAM Combo and give myself about a week to either decide if I want to come in a little above budget or go with the cheaper card.

Thanks for the help. I do have a few questions. SSD - How has Crucial's quality control been lately. I've had bad experiences with their quality in the past but it was also several years ago. Video Card - Current monitor is 60Hz and I don't really have any plans to update it unless it...

I'm trying to follow the directions on this but I can't find any devices I need to remove. I did notice while doing this that the disabled ports are all my usb 3.0 ports. One additional usb 3.0 port was already non-functional. All of my usb 2.0 ports are still functional. The devices that...

Windows 10 broke USB ports

I tried upgrading a Windows 7 PC to Windows 10. When I couldn't get some of my games to work I rolled back to Windows 7. The process seems to have broken 3 USB ports. Items still seem to draw power from the port but aren't recognized by the computer. For example if I plug in my gaming mouse it...
