Just built 2 new PCs last week to enjoy some Elder Scrolls Online with the wife.

I drank too much the other night, and incidentally spilled the remainder of my beer into the vent at the top of my tower.
The majority of the spill seemed to have landed on the Graphics Card. I removed it, cleaned it with alcohol, and wiped off a few splashes that bounced from the GFX to the motherboard. I removed the heat sink to check for spill around it, cleaned off the thermal paste, applied fresh thermal grease.
Everything seems to run fine now... great... but then the next day, when I try to play games, after 10 mins or so, I will get a black screen. I can still hear the game music and the fans all seem to be running. Half the time when it does this, the keyboard lights will not work (caps lock ect.)
It will rarely do this when im not in a game as well?
I tried using my wife's GFX card, and it does the same thing.
My question is what piece of hardware do I need to replace to fix this issue?
