Looking for some help, figured somebody out there may have seen this and knows what is causing this. I have two EVGA 8800GTX KO cards in SLI mode, both watercooled, one of the connections on my primary card (the one closest to the CPU) sprung a leak all over the card. Got the system shut down and everything cleaned up and dried off. Started the system back up and everything looked great, ran 3dmark2006 without any problems. I watched the system close for about an hour to watch temps and all with everything looking great. Figured I would let the system run all night to so that diskeeper could do its IFAAST thing. Anyway when I got up in the morning the system was crashed and now when I try to boot up the screen does not look right at all. Hard to describe but it is slightly distorted; there are pixels out of place and such, lines and garbage on the screen. I took the card out and took the heatsink off, cleaned everything up with the ArticSilver cleaner, reapplied ArticSilver 5 and get the exact same results. Have I fried the card or do you all think it is a residue issue on the card from the leak? I have been thinking about switching cards and run them in SLI to see what I get but have not had the time to deal with the watercooling on that project.
any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
