After a week of messing with broken pumps i hooked up my new maze4 vga and went to boot my computer only to get artifacts on the way to windows and those smartVPU errors, i think this is a good thing since the card actually boots. Anyways I believe a small small drop of water fell on the backside of my card and connected some stuff it shouldnt have. There is a small white electronic scorchy mark in that corner but i cleaned it off with a good alcohol bath, to displace the water and all that pizazz. Now I did this but still got heavy artification. Is there a possibility that the card is absolutely dead, i doubt it is since it still boots. Any help would be appreciated immensely
