Hello,
I'm sorry to ask this (I wrote a post before, but my situation has changed a bit and I'm about to purchase some new components).
My cpu was overheating (HWM clocked at 70+ while opening chrome tabs), I noticed it and my graphics card were caked in dust so I unplugged everything and used condensed air to clean them off, but when I logged into a game the graphics were..it seemed super accelerated and I couldn't select the option to actually start the game.
Memtest runs fine, prime95 freezes my computer every time. I assume after multiple overheats and computer shutdowns I fried my cpu a bit.
I'm about to purchase a new gpu to rep mine (mine's a bit old anyway) and replace my cpu with a new one (actually the same one...but buying a cooler master hyper D92) what I'm wondering is if I need to purchase a new motherboard as well, could my motherboard be damaged?
The reason I ask this is during the end of the overheaing (once right before I cleaned my gpu and cpu's heatsinks out) the gpu wasn't detected and I had to reset it and plug the connectors in again to get it recognized again. I haven't had the issue since i reset it after I cleaned my case but...I'd be scared to buy a couple new pieces to have my mobo go bad on me.
CPU - AMD FX 8350
MOBO - ASUS Sabertooth 990fx r2.0
Vid Card - Nvidia GTX460
Audio - ASUS Xonar Essence STX
Ram- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB X2
Seagate 2tb HDD
Samsung 840 pro 256 GB SSD
I'm sorry to bother you all but any assistance would be most appreciated!
*edit* I forgot to mention I purchased the components and put the computer together myself last June.
