What did *you* upgrade today?

[Fire$torm]

Way Kool

[Al]

So, my wife spilled coffee and creamer into the keyboard of her laptop yesterday. So I upgraded her to a new laptop as this one is showing little life. I dismantled it and found hazelnut smelling creamer on pretty much every part. Looking for ideas on the best way to clean such a mess that would give it the best chance of resurrection.

Dishwasher?

Dishwasher?

I was thinking more of an alcohol bath, but I doubt the dishwasher would do any more damage.

[Bryan]

Yes, alcohol and a soft brush would be the thing to try. Use something like a 1/4 to 1/2 inch painter's brush.

New build up and running. New I7 6700K, Asus Z170 ProGamer Motherboard, Liquid Cooler, 16gb GSkill 3000mhz memory, 2 WD black 1 TB Hdd, 1 Crucial 240 GB SSD. Just starting to load drivers and Boinc. Still havve to install 2x Evga GTX 960's.

OK here we go again. No gpu's detectedd. I have changed the gpu's (put in a couple of 570's), removed all nvieia drivers and re-installed the latest, re-installed Boinc with no results. Both gpu's show up in device manager and in MSI Afterburner. Here is part of the Boinc log:

[Mumps]

There is discussion on the boinc_dev maillist that that is a known critical bug with 7.6.33. You'll need to get back to an older release of BOINC.

[c303a]

Thanks Mumps. Went back to 7.6.22 with the same results.

[scole of TSBT]

Is it just GPUGrid that doesn't see it or the BoincClient? When BoincClient was started, did the Event Log show that it recognized the GPUs? Ok, I see that was the Boinc Client Event Log.

What version Nvidia driver. Maybe try an older one.
