Getting into bios

Hi. I have recently replaced my ram as it was not working on my computer due to my dog peeing on it. long story don't ask but i had it replaced by corsair and it still does not work. I'm fairly certain that the motherboard is fine along with the cpu and graphics card. I looked and apparently my mother board( asus crosshair V formula-z ) has the ram at a default speed of 1333 mhz. The ram i have is at 2400mhz which my motherboard does support and i had working before. I have no idea how to fix this problem and if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated so i can get back to gaming on my high end rig instead of this intel core duo with 4gb of ddr2 and an hd 5570. Thanks xD

Before I start laughing, let me answer. The RAM should run at 1333MHz. The 2400MHz RAM means it's rated for that, but it can run at lower speeds. To get into the BIOS, look up the hotkey in your motherboard manual. Now: hahahaha, how did you manage that?! Your dog pissed INSIDE of your PC?!

Well I was changing the thermal paste on my cpu as i was using the stock paste ( i know bad decsion ) and my case is a corsair 750d so it is very large and my desk/ room didn't have space for it to lay on its side. so i took to my loft outside my bedroom and i left it there with the cpu and cooler out of the case along wtih the graphics card as i was going to go buy thermal paste at best buy and put it on the cpu and gpu. The dog was locked in his caged while i was gone and was only out for about 10 mins when i got home before i noticed it. The funny thing is is that we have barrier around our stairs. he may haved jumped it but he has no history of marking. Finally from what i saw none of the urine went on the ssd, hdd, or psu. It did get on my nzxt hue case lighting and on the mobo and ram. Supposedly all  i have to do is go into bios to change the ram speed to 2400mhz but that's not possible for me as i cant get it to run.

What model of Mobo you got?

What model of ram you got?

 

Do you have a second bios on your mobo? try switching to that to see if it works?

ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z

i used rubbing alcohol to remove the dry urine from the mobo, case lighting and ram. then i allowed them to dry for 24 hrs did it again and waited for another 24 hrs. i then made a  test bench and was unsucessful the mobo spit out a code saying the dram was the problem. i then rma through corsair and tried with two brand new sticks. no luck same error code. so then i thought it must be the motherboard so i am planning on rma through asus as i bought it open box from newegg to save $60. i would like it to work without rma so that is why i am just now troubleshooting.

Reset CMOS with either the button on the I/O, or by removing power and the battery on the board for 30s, battery back in, power on.

See if it boots.

If it's not displaying a Q-Code at all that dog piss probably fried the board.
