Bug in the system...

[Boozebeard]

...literally. I had the side of my case off and I saw a moth fly in, crawl along the pcb of my graphics card for abit and then get sucked into the fan and fall out. Could this damage my system? D:

 

[Boozebeard]

Well I was playing titan quest when it happened, not exactly the most graphically intense title but everything was working.

 

[Boozebeard]

More importantly, was there any smoke?

Has the body been removed?

Nothing as dramatic as that I'm afraid. It just got sucked in and then fell out. I assume it's still in the bottom of my case. The area of the pcb it was walking on has hardly any connections on it and I've had no problems so far so I'm going to assume it's ok.

 

[Boozebeard]

Mmm, good idea. I looked in the case this morning and I couldn't find it, so it seems it didn't die, no idea if it managed to get out or if it's still in their somewhere

Well I read up on moths abit and seems it would be pretty unlikely for them to lay eggs in a computer. I'll still give it a spray if I get round to buying any.
