Hi, so when this happened the computer obviously shut down.

My specs are
Asus Sabretooth 990fx
Corsair TX 650w
Phenom ii 965
2x cruicial 1333 4gb

So what was spilled wasn't a whole lot, but it hit the case fan and hit the mobo and gpu as far as i can tell. Maybe also one of the RAM slots.

I've dissasembled the whole thing and cleaned it out to the best of my ability. And disconnected any non essential parts.

Now the first time i booted up, the ram led was solid red. All components get power as far as i can tell. I took out one of the sticks and rebooted.
Then the ram led went back to normal, but now the cpu led is lit instead. After messing around a bit and trying the different ram slots, it was the gpu leds turn. That's where i'm at now.

So if i had another system to test all the parts i would do that ofc, but i don't. Now i'm wondering what might cause this weird Led behaviour. Is it most likely the Mobo or PSU or maybe the CPU (it doesent appear damaged thougj)?

Am i missing something here?

I wanna start by replacing components piece by piece to salvage as much as possible.

Thanks for any help i can get!

Cheers

I forgot to mention. My GPU is a msi gtx 560ti. I also reset the BIOS. The dram Led and cpu led blinks when i try to boot but only the gpu led stays on now. I also had to clean my GPU, but only a few drops on the backside. How much can these carfs take anyway?

@JamesRauch My next build perhaps:)

Anyway, i got it to post with the gtx260. My voltages in bios reads 3.33v on the 3.3v. 11.994v on the 12v and 4.994 on the 5v, this seems ok right? The mobo might still need replacement right?
