I recently opened a bottle of carbonated water next to my computer. Boy do I regret that now. It exploded all over my desk and a few drops went into the PC. I opened it and saw the couple drops on the plastic protection piece for the graphics card. I wiped it up and thought that was the only drops that got in. It's a Radeon r9 290x. Like an idiot I turned it on to see if it would work and it did. But the video cut out within 5 minutes. Now no image is displayed and on startup I receive 1 long beep followed by 2 short ones. Is this a fried graphics card. Is it the motherboard. All help is appreciated thanks.
 
Solution
Look up your motherboard POST beep codes but code you are receiving is fairly common for non-working GPU. If it beeps at all it's more likely that MB is fine.
