So my computer keeps restarting constantly, it doesn't reach the bios, just keeps power cycling itself, recently my closed loop water cooler decided it didn't want to be closed loop anymore and there was water in the socket and running down the board. It just let me into the bios but it's gone all weird and won't let me move the cursor. Everything is seated properly. Is my motherboard dying or is it something else? 

My specs if they matter are:

I7-4820k 

X79-ud3

16gb Kingston ram 

Gtx 970

The power supply is a CS750M, and there was water all in the socket and running down the board while it was powered on :/ I guess I need a new board then, hopefully nothing else is dead... :( 

Well, shit.
