I have seen this happen before.
There is a small highly venomous spider called a violin spider, and it has tiny eggs that lie dormant for ages, in certain conditions. It looks like these eggs were in the solder joints and the alcohol has rendered them active.
See those webs there? In about a week or so you'll see tiny juvenile violin spiders emerging from there. They will seek out the one who used the alcohol on them, and bite him in his sleep.
The effects of these bites are tissue necrosis, hallucinations, searing pains and convulsions. Death is usually unavoidable.

All because you bought the wrong A3000 mobo  :devildance:
