Sometimes I just run a squeegy on the moniter and pc,that usually works without the computer making really loud noises then dying out for good.

There isn't a single computer on the planet that could take punishment like that.
Well, except maybe the new toughbooks which are virtually bulletproof and water resistant.
I hope you are joking

funny you mention that actually...many a years back, I was cleaning my windows (massive windows, pan of windex and scrubbies)...and had the pan on my monitor...it of course fell, and dumped on my box.
curiously after a few days it worked again...figured it was totally dead...guess it all depends on if the smoke escapes.
Once it loses its smoke, it never runs right...hard to get the smoke back into the computer also,

Pop one of those system restore cds in the cd insert.It can restore errors which make the computer think it is not functioning.You have to show your pc who is boss,otherwise your pc will walk all over you.

If you drop water on your computer then I suggest you leave it off until all the water evaporates.
You cause some serious damage if you turn on a wet computer.
And to the OP, its your motherboard.
