Ever since I watercooled my comp, my screen doesn't turn on the first boot after the comp has been sitting for a while. I reset the comp then it turns on and I get the "windows was not shut down properly" screen. There is no leaks in my sys so that can't be it.
One thing I did do was not put the screw in to hold the vid card when I put the W/C on. I noticed that the screen would lock up( seemed to go away once I put the screw back in. Does the vid card need to be grounded through the screw in the back plate? Could I have damaged the card without putting it in?
Everything seems nice and stable once I get it booted up( still O/C's the same and fps is the same in games).
Anyone have this prob too?
BTW, it is a Radeon 8500 retail card.
