Hello,
My PC specs:
Ryzen 5 3600x
MSI Tomohawk B450 max
Corsair vengence 3000 Mhz 8x2
Gigabyte gtx 1660 ti
CM MWE 550w V2
WD nvme 1 TB
My house was recently flooded and the compute was on top of a table where water didn't reach. We had a abandon the house an stay at a hotel for a week. Everything was unplugged and put away safely.
However, since the house was flooded for a few days, there was moisture in the air, now that everything is dried up and power is fine, I plugged the computer and it ran fine for couple of days, even played games for a while.
Now suddenly, while watching a youtube video the PC froze with noise from the speaker, then I did a hard shutdown an restarted the PC, upon reaching the desktop it bluesscreened and restarted, error was system service exception, then again upon reboot same thing happened, but this time there was no post, MB light stuck on DRAM.
I did a power cycle, still same, removed the ram stick from the slot farthest from the CPU, it booted, then tried this stick on the slot that had the working ram, stuck again on POST, figured it is the stick and put the confirmed working stick on the farthest slot, stuck again.
Removed CMOS left for a while, then put both RAM in, swapped the slots, the PC is working fine again, enabled XMP again too.
There is nothing on event viewer, says could not create a dump. only improper shutdown errors.
What should I do next? Is it cause for worry.
A little backstory again, My CPU failed last November, it was the memory controller that was faulty, what are the chances of it being the same again, I had a week left in warranty last year, so got a new one. However, I was not able to get both the sticks working no matter what before replacing the CPU, but now clearing CMOS seems to have done the trick till now.
