So I spilled water on top of and inside my pc. I saw a poof of smoke and right away I pulled the plug and let it dry. It works fine and I have been using it for about a year now, however I use to overclock my GPU and my CPU from 3.4 to 4.0 with ease and now I can not. When I try to my PC shuts down and usually I have to do a CMOS reset. (I have tried tweaking voltage slightly up and down and spent a lot of time in the BIOS toying with the NB) I know I messed something up but have had a hard time figuring out what that was. My first thought is my PSU but on the other hand it could be my CPU or MOBO. But, I don't think CPUs or MOBOs will cause a PC to just turn off and not be able to be turned on unless it is a heat or voltage issue and my hardware is not overheating. So I do think it is my PSU My hardware is as follows
Gigabyte MOBO Ga-970a-Ud3--
AMD Phenom II x4 965(with heatsink) --
Ripjaw 8gb (2x4gb) RAM--
CS600m PSU--
Radeon 7850 windforce GPU--
and 5 hard drives. Like I said when I have a normal clock it seems to be ok because I run games that push the machine hard but still a prime95 stress test will power the machine off and make it reboot. Should I just replace the power unit or does it sound like it could be the CPU or MOBO? (No more water next the the PC!) PLEASE HELP I NEED THIS PC FOR WORK!
