i have a 5700LE and i recently had a leak in my water cooling system. the card got antifreeze on it, but i decided to not give up and put it in my old POS emachine to see if it still worked after i let it dry for a few days. it starts up fine, runs games fine, but after about 5 to 10 minutes of running, it freezes up. the computer then refuses to post until i remove the card and replace it a few minutes later. it doesnt seem to matter what motherboard i put it in, i always get the same results. what could possibly be causing this? surely it must be from the anti freeze, but why does it work for the first 5 minutes? the survival of this card isnt that important, as i am currently in the process of purchasing the first half of my SLI setup. it would just be nice to have it as a card on my backup gaming machine.
