last night around 1am, i was drinking some soda, being sick i started to cough and slightly, choked, but this resulted in me spitting my drink all over my desk, most of which landed on my keyboard which is now dead...yay. And some few droplets seemed to have gotten into my case.

At 2 am i turned my computer back on after immediately shutting it down. I was using it for a few minutes and it randomly decides to restart....did this roughly 4 times. Now i thought im screwed somethings wrong i gotta replace everything, i looked inside, nothing was wet. My cpu on the other hand was now idling at 58C and whenever i moved the mouse shot up to 68C and after i opened my browser it shut off the pc....

as im posting this it seems to have either dried or something as im now idling back at 36C...should i be worried for any possible potential damages?
