I spilled water into my chassis and it crashed. I thought blowing a fan on it for an hour would be long enough to get all the water out and I tried to turn it back on like a moron. The computer won't turn back on but my GPU still lights up How fucked am I in terms of broken components? I've already ordered a new mobo because I read online that water damage almost always kills the mobo.

Get some red LEDs, they are exothermic contrary to the blue ones that are endothermic. The warmth of the red LEDs will evaporate the water quickly and if you're lucky everything will work fine again. Also, remove any blue LEDs that are in your PC right now

I wanted to dual boot but couldn't figure it out now I am stuck with this piece of shit. I have a usb and would like to go back to windows. I have the ISO, I added it to my USB I went through gpart, unetboot, etc... and it still won't work.

Is this because the version of ubuntu is too new to work with all the forum answers? I have been trying to get it to work for like 7 hours now and I am about to just buy windows legit. It's fucking horrible please g help me.

use ffprobe on the mkv to find out what streams it has

i personally put
function ffstreamdetect {
for i in "$1"; do echo File: $1; ffprobe "$i" 2>&1 | grep Stream; done
}

in my shell rc because i do this quite often, and this filters out what i don't need

if for example, the mkv is say;
0: video
1: eng audio
2: jpn audio
3: spa subtitle
4: chapters

you'd do;
ffmpeg -i video.mkv -i subtitle.ass -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -map 1 -map 0:3 -map 0:4

"map" determines what streams to include in the output, and in what order, "0:1" is for example, input 0 (the first -i), stream 1 (the second stream). "-map 1" just means "all streams from the second input", which is just a single subtitle track in this case

>>
>>54735018
depends on what you have and what the intended output is

lets say you have;
file1.mkv
file1.ass
file2.mkv
file2.ass
...

you could do;
for i in *.mkv; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -i "${i%.mkv}.ass" -map 1 -map 0 -c copy "${i%.mkv}-new.mkv"; done

which should result in new files;
file1-new.mkv
file2-new.mkv

>The fan has nothing to do with what software runs.
Yes it does. Not directly, but one could run a program in the background that's really CPU intensive so that the CPU would heat up what would cause the fan to run really high.
If I do a simple command as
stress -c 4
the CPU gets used 100% and will start my fan.
It is possible that anons PC is infected with a virus that does something similar as soon as he connects to wifi.

mp4 has a special flag you can set to make them more suitable for streaming, but mkv is always suited for it

either it's an unrelated issue (permissions?)
or perhaps the system you're using is assuming things about which streams should be where
your solution of just using "-map 1 -map 0" makes your .ass the first stream, which is technically fine, but conventionally, the first stream is the video, for example;

common:
0: video
1: audio
2: subtitle
3: chapter

yours:
0: subtitle (the .ass)
1: video
2: audio
3: subtitle
4: chapter

I need to do some CPU intensive tasks. Which one would be better to 'preserve' my computer:
To get it over and done with, with the CPU temperature reaching ~85C and the fans spinning like turbine engines, or
To let it go slow and steady, when the CPU temperature reaches 70C my script sends kill -TSTP -- $PID to pause the program until the temperature goes below a set level only to then send kill -CONT -- $PID to resume, looping until completion?

If you think you have this problem, you need a better constructed laptop. When you find a laptop that has too-good-to-be-true-specs-at-this-price they are probably poorly built and will overheat.

If you're stuck with your current laptop for some reason, limit the max frequency to 90% or something.

Sure, if you want a loud stock cooler

Its a huge pain in the ass to replace the cooler once you have built it. Either you are doing it in the case which is a nightmare, or you are completely disassembling it.

I tried to use 1600MHz RAM with an AM3 processor that officially only supports RAM up to 1333MHz and it didn't boot. Apparently it works fine for other people, at least according to Google. Is it a processor problem or a memory problem? Do I need to tweak something in my BIOS to make it work?

My motherboard gives me a D3 error, which apparently stands for "If memory sizing module not executed, start memory refresh and do memory sizing in Bootblock code. Do additional chipset initialization. Re-enable CACHE. Verify that flat mode is enabled." which is a bunch of nonsense to me.
