So i have a problem with my PC. I cleaned the top of it with some wet wipes. There are no holes or something at the top where the water could get in. I turned the PC on, went to check facebook and after a few minutes it just shut off. It wasnt shutting of slowly, just bam! As soon as it shut off it started rebooting, but after a few seconds of that it shut down again. I took it out of the power and left it. Now it wont react to anything. I press the button to boot up but it is just staying like that.
Help please, fast

What case do you have? It sounds as if you cleaned where your buttons are. The power and reset buttons. If those got wet the water may have caused a short. Idk. Wet wipes are WET. Capt. Obvious at your service:D Nothing more than damp with PC case especially around electrical connections.

I didn't know that. The top or horizontal part of my Vivo Titan has the USB, Headhone and the power and reset buttons.

Have you checked your Event Viewer for errors that happened at the same time you were cleaning your PC or at the exact time(s) the PC shut down??

The thing is I cannot get access to Event Viewer. I tried booting it up today morning, it started loading and loading and then it finally got to the part where I have to unlock it. So i typed my password and it started loading once again and then BOOM it shut down once again.

Could be anything, really. Might just be a coincidence that it quit booting after you cleaned it, perhaps your power cable is loose, maybe when/if you moved it you dislodged a cable inside. It's really hard to say, but if I had this issue I'd do a full teardown and rebuild.
