I have a Asus M5A97 Le R2.0 Motherboard today. This motherboard was fine for months, I got in the habit of leaving the computer on for 10+ days at a time. After doing this once, I shut off the computer before going to bed.
I woke up the next morning, and the computer wouldnt turn on. It would try to start the fans, but stop quickly after. I tried replacing every part on besides the motherboard and cpu multiple times. I removed the battery and tried 3 types of ram, 3 different graphic cards, and 3 different power supplies.
The computer eventually booted up, and worked just fine for a few days. Then one night, my cat jumped out the window, looked at me and then hit a water bottle that was near by. The bottle fell and spilled a small amount of water directly onto the running motherboard. My screen froze and I think there was a slight sound on the board. I quickly hit the power switch on my power supply, to try and save the board.
After waiting 3 days, I managed to boot up to my windows desktop. After about 10 minutes or so, the computer manually shut off as if you were to unplug it. I got it to boot twice like this. Now, I try to boot it and I see the motherboard screen, but 10 seconds later the computer shuts off.
There are kinda turquoise colors around the cpu that look like corrosion. My questions are, is there any possible way to save this motherboard? And, should I buy a new motherboard for the cpu, or just throw it away and buy a whole new setup?
