    I got my M17X10 half year ago or more I dun remember the exact time
    I am not a super pro gamer, but I do LOL time to time.
    Usually I am the first one who finish loading in the game
    But now I am the last one, its like playing LOL with a 1mb ram
    Anyways, I did the score checking in my computer
    My processor is give me this 3.X to 4.X score which is really bad.
    It was all above 7 (including the processor)
    I spill some water the other day, might the water damaged my processor?
    if so how can I check
    and Can i replace the processor?
    Sry for all the typo

    Thank you for all the help.
