Won't boot to XP! Using Water Cooling!

I was told water cooling was the way to go to get the coolest temps for my tower. So I did some research and found it was the cheapest and easiest way. So I hooked up my hose to a hole in the back of my computer and turned it on. & now for some reason it won't boot! anyone have some suggestions? what did I do wrong?

You really need to use non conductive water.

Fill a kettle with ordinary tap water and boil for several hours.

What's left is ideal for cooling.

I'm on it!

But Can I just dry the current parts and things will work again?

Only if you use the microwave.

Why is this in the Emergency section?

On the contrary, I got a good laugh out of it I didn't mean to sound harsh, but the emergency help forum should really only be used for real emergencies.. I noticed that someone moved it to the pub so all is well

I find that if you use a 50/50 mix of crisco and astroglide poured directly into your case should be more than enough to keep you system running at max speed & efficiancy.

If by "running" you mean sliding down the hall and out the door into the street, I would agree.
