What hard drive do you have? I think A2 is a hard drive problem, make sure that the cmos reset has not altered any settings like disabling AHCI if you have an SSD

i use 2 ssds

Might be worth trying another CMOS reset by using the onboard jumper.

Make sure that your bios has not reset to IDE mode after taking the battery out and is in AHCI mode

If you spill coolant, the last thing I would have done was turn it on again! It needs a long time to dry, not sure how long but at least longer than a day!

should i put it in my airing room over night?

You might just have cooked that slot (if it was one slot you spilt it in) dry the memory stick and try it in another slot

im a noob so there is black and red slots i see matter which order i put in? i put 1 stick in the furthest black ram slot to the left and try'd it still same thing

just try one stick for now, try the stick that has not had coolant on it in a slot that you didn't spill coolant in.

If that does not work it's new mobo time by the looks of it, also make sure there is no coolant left in the slot get the hair dryer on it if needed

yep i think it is time for a new mb sad times
