So my brother spilled lemonade on my computer and it made it turn on then off, doesn't boot up. so i figured it must have damaged my motherboard, i bought a new case (h440), a h100i liquid cooler, a new asrock z 77. IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING! note - i kept my hard drives RAM and my i7 3770k. Not sure if my processor got damaged too or maybe its the ram.

If you didn't get beeps, that means your CPU is most likely dead or not seated properly. Reseat it and check that no pins on the mobo are bent.

It is not defective, but you could have destroyed either the VRM in the CPU or some of the internal cores. I would try different RAM and see if it works with other RAM or if it beeps without RAM.

So i didnt get any beeps but when i took out all the RAM, the computer didnt shut off surprisingly, it looked like it was running fine, the Red led CMOS on the back of the mb lit up and i didnt get any video.
