Verified, everything is firmly in place. I did momentarily disconnect the HD audio cable from the mobo while installing new cables, don't know if I could have damaged anything in doing so.

I upgraded my PSU today due to power issues, and now I have ran into another, albeit less severe problem: My headset wouldn't work when plugged into the audio/mic ports on top of my pc case, where I had it plugged in before. I could see the audio bar move in settings, but couldn't hear any of...

Got a new 850W 80+ Gold unit, so far so good :)

Don't think that was the issue here, as I installed the gpu just 5 days before this happened. Got a new psu and no issues so far.

It is not, its a little over a year old. Bought it from a guy who had barely used it, it was like new, at least appearance-wise. I upgraded the psu today and haven't ran into any issues so far. Have tried a bunch of games, including the one that caused this. So far so good...

I guess that makes sense. I'll probably listen to your advice and get a 750 or 850W unit ASAP, I guess it was time for an upgrade anyways. Do you think there is permanent damage to the power supply I have, if it's failing? I really appreciate you helping me out here btw.

As mentioned, with the undervolt I have been using it at, it draws the same or less power than my old card. How can it still cause the psu to fail? The benchmark I mentioned too, why didn't it shut down then? I've also heard of people running 6700xt's on 550W without problems for longer periods...

Aw man :( Does it mean anything that I ran a few benchmarks earlier (after the problems I mentioned) and had no issues? One would think that's when the pc would shut down if it was the psu, right? If the psu indeed is failing, I wonder if this is just a big coincidence, or if it has something...

Alright. Checked all drives with chkdsk in cmd, if that's what you had in mind. No problems there, according to Windows. Will run memtest86 when I have time, though I'm not sure I have a flash drive at hand. Would an external hdd work? By the way, not long after this incident, I ran into more...

Not quite sure where to post this, as I have no idea where the lissue lies. Attaching an Imgur link, as this is difficult to explain with words: View: https://imgur.com/a/6lMMSoF Was just gaming as usual and suddenly, the screen completely freaks out. Never seen anything like it before. I...

It has come back to life and seems to be doing just fine now though. Maybe I got lucky and didn't get any moisture on the most vital components. When you're living on a total of 18 square meters and don't even own a kitchen table, keeping drinks and computers separated can unfortunately be...

I see, thanks. Unfortunately didn't have any isopropyl alcohol on hand. The mouse surprisingly seems to be working just fine now though, ever since I plugged it in this morning. Remains to be seen how this affects its long term reliability.

Appreciate the reply. I didn't really know the best way to go about cleaning it. I tried getting rid of most of the moisture with paper and a q-tip, and also used a gas duster to try and blow out any droplets. If you don't mind explaining, what do you mean by "connected a couple traces"? Also, I...

Managed to spill my drink on my mouse, which is the light weight kind, full of holes. It didn't die right away. I unplugged it, opened it and cleaned and dried it the best I could. When I plugged it back in the first time everything seemingly worked fine, but when I unplugged it and switched usb...
