My Nvidia Geforce for some reason got extremely hot I was playing a game on my xbox look over and see distorted video on my comp i walked over and smelled something i jumped down unplugged the pc and touched my video card and it was extremely hot making sure it was all unhooked i sprayed the duster cleaner and the liquid from that sizzled when it hit the card.
the card is all clean and cool now but when i plugged my pc in nothing happened. The video cards fan is on but the motherboard or anything else wont even work. My pc has the orange light instead of the green light like when it's on. Pressing the power button does nothing.

Does the mobo have a built-in video that you can try? If you take out the video card and you do not have built-in video do you get a beep or series of beeps?

The single beep is the mobo passing POST (power on self test) so that is a good sign. Multiple beeps a failure of some sort and no video card should get 3 beeps but could be different depending on the mobo.
Looking at the video I would say its time for a new video card

If man made it it will fail/break. It is not a question of if but a question of when. Stuff happens. I've seen super expensive parts fail along with the cheap stuff. The manufacturer may have had a bad run on parts (stuff happens). I would contact the manufacturer in case they know about a problem and or maybe cover it under warranty.

Ahem ahem sorry to hear friend but ur graphics card id fried up, burnt up better install new one. make sure ur pc has enough airflow from front to back. Make sure ur graphics card is of good one, be sure to buy with one with larger heat sink and a fan.

I actually had my video card SLOT go bad once. Where you plug it in the motherboard. I was getting the same kinda screen you have posted.
