No Video

[SnoMan]

So i spilled water on my tower and it fell threw the top fan, and as soon as the water went threw the video shut off and not the rest of the computer. i took the card out looked at it, didnt c no burn marks or anything, put it back in, put it in the other pci-x slot and put the dvi connector to the other one and still doesnt work. any thoughts as to what else i could try??

Dry it out for a few hours?

If it doesn't work then then I'd go about tesint every component of your PC

ya i actually tried it out over nite plus more just cuz i was kinda lazy to fix it. how do u mean then test each part?

If you can test each part (mobo, gfx RAM, CPU) with a different PC to see if they're all working

Tried resetting CMOS etc?

i reset the CMOS, still didnt work, so i took out the video card and tried it in another computer and it didnt work so i just figured its shot. went up bout a new one and it work i have video but first that came up was a warning becuz CMOS was reset and it said to go into Setup and reset the overclock something, went in there looked reset the time and that was it restarted it no warning but now its at a screen saying verifying DMI pool data..... and ya so im lost again.

i got it fixed. looked around on a couple of forums and some sites and some said it had to do w/usb ports and sense my kb wasnt working so i unplugged all the usb stuff and it worked.
