Hey guys I just recently spilled water on my PC. I freaked out already and I'm past being angry about it haha.

But I dried up what got inside/around it after I turned it off. But whenever I turned my PC back on my second monitor wasn't displaying a signal. The funny part is, is that it was working before I turned the computer off. My main monitor works fine that is connected through DVI, but my second monitor is undetectable which I connect through HDMI. I have tried using a different cable to no end.

And I'm really hoping that something didn't happen to the GPU. I do happen to have a spare 770 that I could swap in to check but I was wondering what other people thought about it.

Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Did any water spill on your graphics card? If yes, It sure sounds like something shorted out and it developed an intermittent fault. I would really use the 770 for a few days to confirm its not something else in your system.
The monitor works, I tried the DVI in it and it works fine. It's not the cable, so I was assuming it was the port for some reason didn't work. My main monitor didn't work with the HDMI.Then it randomly just connected and turned on this morning with the old HDMI plugged in. So I'm kind of freaked out that it just fixed itself out of nowhere.
