First off, I am an idiot, and I will be the first to admit it. Last Friday, as I was about to leave my place, I accidentally knocked a blender bottle of water off my desk onto the top of my desktop. I instantly pulled the power and opened the case up to inspect damage. First thing I saw was water on the GPU... sh!t. I dabbed it up and put a fan on the top of the case blowing down for the next 3 days. Days pass, I don't have time to mess with it thanks to school and work. Fast forward to today, I start the painful trouble shooting process. Here is how it went:
Started it up normally: First try it gets to the Windows 10 load screen however there are red lines horizontally all over the screen.
Check my GPU in very good friends computer. Same thing.
At this point I feel like my GPU is giving me a big F.U. by being only slightly completely damaged. What ever, going to have to replace that. I get my friends good graphics card, a Raedeon r9 280. When I plugged this is and started the computer up, nothing happened. The GPU fans didn't even spin up which makes me really curious.
Plug an hdmi straight into the mobo without any GPU I start the computer and nothing. No signal detected. At this point I have no idea what the issue is. Is this a dead CPU or a dead mobo, or both? I also checked the ram in my friends computer and it is good to go so Its not that.
specs:
evga gtx 760
asrock z75 pro 3
g.skills rip jaws 8gb ram
intel i5 processor, not sure exactly whcih atm.
Any help would be much appreciated!
