Recurring Computer Crashes

[nihsnek]

Hey all,

I was messing around today on my computer, all of a sudden it crashed. This computer has been extremely stable and I have not changed any settings at all the past months. I tried to restart it, it would boot up to the Windows screen, crash. I tried again...it would boot up to bios and crash. The longer I waited it seemed the longer it would go without crashing. I finally opened it up, took apart everything, checked gpu, cpu, ram, mobo, etc. I did notice some wetness around my gpu from my liquid cooling system(dried it quickly, problem still occurs though). I stuck some paper to get any water dripping from my cooling system. Now, it boots up fully and loads into Windows...it lasts for about 10-20minutes, then crashes again.

I have not changed or installed any new drivers recently. I have not installed any new software or hardware recently. I'm really concerned and confused about this. The only thing that comes to my mind is:

Video Card Issue
CPU Cooling Issue(yet it is around 40C)
Power Supply Issue

Any help? Here's some information about my setup:

Post is in wrong forum. Might get more looks in another forum .......? Homebuilt systems

-maybe I missing it in the above post ....but what is the power supply?
-exact error Windows is posting (error code log)
-error occur when loading GPU? (ie games)
-run memory test program to check for bad memory
-antivirus/spyware
-minimize running programs (run ----> autoconfig----> start up)

Not sure what to say without more info. On first look, condensation around GPU comment----> worried about GPU.
Would think, however, that if it got wet it would not be an intermittent problem.
