Hello,

I'm in a bit of a pickle. My ZOTAC GTX 970 isn't working with my computer when the PCI-e cords are inserted.

When removed the computer boots normally and reads the my fans for my CPU and even the graphic's card (the fans turn on). It's only when the PCI-e cord is inserted is when it doesn't work.

The reason is because a drop of water got on top of the card resulting in the state it is in. After leaving it off for 3 days the problem continues. Anything at this point would be greatly appreciated.

* On a side note I'm looking for a better card. I had my eyes on a SAPPHIRE RX480 for $90 less than the ZOTAC. Is this a good deal? Do you have any recommendations in mind?

Thank you.
