Graphics Cards

[J20Joe]

Hi, 

Had a few issues on my GPU that would reboot randomly over the last few weeks and would randomly restart. Some times I could go a few days without any issues

After going through every single option on the internet my last resort was to take the waterblock off after it got worse and worse and would constantly crash and I noticed I've had a leak onto the card at some point.

I've dried it with paper towels and cleaned with electrical cleaner but it still crashes and sometimes won't boot up, 

Ay ideas how I can fix this? Do I need to give it a dry with a heat gun?

Good idea but managed to sort it.

Took it apart and drenched it in electrical cleaner, then compressed air and then heat gun, there was coolant under the memory chips, running fine now, so far..

what is the name of the electrical cleaner??

Can't remember, used an entire can so it's in the bin. 99% Alcohol would have been better but it was something I bought for my car electronics. Was a 90 something percent alcohol solvent spray

I always use Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% ACS for electronics.

I use it for Phones, tablets, laptops etc that have had water damage.

So far 100% fix rate.

I had an iPhone 11 that I dropped in the pool, wish I knew this before I sold it as broken
