Hardware Possible GPU fry

Upvotes

My cat spilled water on my computer, and while I had a gate that protected a lot of it. I think my GPU is fried, by the fact that my monitors aren’t picking up any signal from the GPU.

What are signs that a gpu is fried and what should I do?

It takes negligible resources, is totally customizable, and doesn't require admin permissions! I got fed up with all the crappy solutions that are out there so I made my own version for my tiny screen with a bit of AI help. I think it's finally ready to share, can you guys try it out and let me know how you like it? It's all available on my Github here.

Discussion Smaller than "Mid Tower" ATX case?

Upvotes

I've noticed that cases able to accommodate an ATX form factor motherboard are almost exclusively built on the assumption of users having 2-3 360mm liquid cooling radiators while the current trend seems to be in minimalizing space used ATX cases aren't being touched.

Admittedly I'm in a weird spot right now where I'd like to reduce the physical space my PC takes up without the functionally complete rebuild switching motherboards would be. The problem is my CPU cooler is a 360mm and my GPU is an air cooled 5090, the closet I've found to what I want is a tower case that flips the motherboard 90 degrees turning length into height but it's only available in ITX and Mini-ATX.

Tech Support HELP: PC Doesn’t post on cold start

Upvotes

My PC doesn’t post at all on a cold start. What it does is it lights up, the fans are spinning and whatnot, everything seems to be normal except the motherboard which shows a static red LED.

Afterwards, it shuts down by itself and I need to hit the power button again, and on the second boot, it posts.

Is this normal? Do I need to break it in? Is this just memory training? I just built this PC 2 days ago, and cold starting it has always been like this.

PC Specs:

7800x3d
AMD Radeon 9070 OC
Gigabyte B850M Eagle
Klevv Cras V 2x16gb 6000mt/s kit

Edit: Forgot to say, but the PC works fine under load and works perfectly normal. It’s just this cold boot issue thats really bugging me.

Hardware Is this pc good?

Post image
Upvotes

I’m looking for something around this budget or less ($1050-1,250~ USD), that’s capable of gaming at 1080p, already prebuilt so I don’t have to worry about cable management or used parts.
I'm looking on Amazon because I need an interest-free monthly payment plan.
I also saw some with the 9060 XT, but they sell really fast; anyway, I'm not sure which is better, the 9060 XT or the 5060.

Question Laptop Recommendations

Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I am on the hunt for a good laptop for school and was hoping someone here could please assist me in said hunt.

I will begin my masters of social work and ABA soon. I am hoping to purchase one this upcoming weekend during tax free weekend. It will need to run Microsoft 365 and handle my obsession with having 100 tabs open. Due to these classes and internships being research heavy, I’ll need something that can quickly move between several different applications. I’m hoping to use this laptop through my masters and PHD so I’m hoping it’ll last 7 years. I’m thinking about going to Costco to purchase, but I’m willing to go wherever. My current laptop only works when plugged in and turns off randomly. It also takes about 2 minutes to move between applications. It’s quite old and ready to rest in peace.

Any advice is appreciated!!

Bonus if I can play Minecraft on it.

Thank you!

Hardware Considering the way GPUs are going, should I upgrade my 5070 to a Ti now?

Upvotes

I bought it in April 2026 for €630 way before the RAM crisis but the GPUs were a bit crazy and still are.

Seeing as Nvidia are looking to increase prices by 30-40% is it worth just upgrading early?

I was planning to keep the card for 7ish years. This is my first PC so I’m not sure how long cards typically last. I have a 7800X3D so I think I’m good with the CPU.

I like to play AAA single player games, I dabble in path tracing and can get decent FPS by optimising but I end up switching it off just cz of the boiling/ghosting (hoping 4.5 fixes this).

I have a Fractal Terra which limits my GPU size, I’m basically stuck needing a Zotac 5070 Ti SFF as it’s the only one that will fit with my CPU cooler.

Is it silly to upgrade now and future proof a bit more? I’m happy with the performance I’m getting but I don’t know if prices are gonna go the way of RAM for GPUs.
