Hey all, I was here about a month ago, asking advice on building my own rig. Well, you all helped out a lot, and ended up with a nice system for the price i was wanting.
anyway, on to the part where I need help.
I come home from work last night, jump on the pc, getting ready to play bad company 2, and the computer wont start up. It will try to come on, all the fan leds light up, and the fans themselves start to spin, but only for a second or two, then it shuts down. and tries to start again. I start to inspect and see whats up when i notice a little bit of some sort of liquid (what i assume is water at the time) on the top of my case, next to the fan. I do a little more investigating and i see what seems like water on the wall next to computer but has been smeared like someone tried to cover up their spill. (its morning now and its still there and sticky, so im guessing it's coke or something now) But anyway, not much made it into the system itself, but I'm guessing what did make it in was enough to do the damage.
Is there a process i can do to determine what parts are good and what parts didnt make it?
when i try to turn it on, the motherboard's leds light up, and the cpu fans that draw power from the motherboard attempt to come on as well. so it seems that power is still coming through the mobo, dunno if this can still happen or not if mobo gets fried. but anyway, a little push in the right direction of how i can figure out what is still working and what to replace would be very helpful. Thanks everyone and talk to you soon.
