I was an idiot and spilled coffee into my first build ever. PC was up and running for about two months beforehand.
I took it apart wiped everything off, used a little isopropyl on the worst spots and waited two days before reassembling. Originally everything would turn on, motherboard lights, fans would spin for about 10 seconds, then the fans/cooler would shut off and only the motherboard lights would remain on.
It's been like this for months, not having the knowledge to troubleshoot or cash to replace parts was a big bummer.
Today I decided to tinker a little more and have made some progress, I think. I removed the RAM and video card made sure everything was seated right, and installed the video card into another PCIE slot.
Now when powered, the fans/cooler/graphics card all power on and there is no forced shutoff. It seems to be working just fine, with the exception that I have no video signal. I've tried both DVI and HDMI from both my motherboard and the card itself, but nothing. I don't think my CPU has graphics capabilities (2700x), but I didn't know what else to try.
Where should I go from here? If I had spare parts laying around, I feel like I could sus out the problem, but as I said this is my first build.
