must be in over my head I think I just fried my whole pc installed card and block and there was a leak that I thought I caught but I must have not noticed moisture get on the card and when I booted it sparked. Dead card right didnt really care pretty sure I can get a new one from new egg or xfx. Then when I put in my 8500 it boots fine and acts normal exept that the display is all jacked up now. I tried all 3 pcie slots on my board and all the same result. Now I have a regular pci vga card in and it works fine. So I fried my pcie controller when I saw the spark huh. The 850 is the only other card I have so I have to wait untill my girlfriend gets off her computer untill I can figure out if its the card or the board but its gotta be the board. Lesson to be learned 24 hour leak test is no joke kids. I suck i literally blew around 1000 dollars of equipment this week. So I guess ill be out of the game for a while.

That does not sound good...what seems to be the problem?

does anybody know if I can confirm if its the board without a card??

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO board is up and running better than ever. Still down the xfx card but new egg rma in process
