Hello,
The symptoms currently are, I press the power button the CPU fan spins and all four of the the "Phase LEDs" light up, then after 0.5 second or so everything shuts off.
This happened after I moved all the hardware from one case to another. I was still running a case from 2010 with 1x 60mm and 1x 40mm fan. I also upgraded the power supply. While the motherboard was out I cleaned the whole thing with a can of compressed air. While I was cleaning the CPU area some of the liquid that comes out sometimes got on to the mother board and CPU but I immediately stopped and it evaporated quickly. While working on the system I sat in a chair working on a wood desk and always touched the bare metal of the case before working inside the case. I did not use a ESD band.
After putting the whole computer back together I plugged it in and went to power it on and had the issue stated above. First thing I did was unplug everything plugged in to the PSU and checked it using the the provide PSU jumper and this worked. To double check I plugged everything into the old PSU and the same issue persisted. I then tried everything from the list below with the same rsults.
With research I seam to have killed my motherboard and/or my CPU. I am curious first if I am just an idiot and totally glanced over something. Second if any one has any ideas on why the motherboard is fried so I can avoid it again. I have the obvious ESD or when the liquid came out of the air can but I am curious is there is any other idea because I am not sold on those two being the culprit.
Side note one of the reasons for the upgrade in case and PSU and because when starting up Rocket League I the computer would crash sometimes on start up or sometimes starting game play. Checking Temperatures I was getting 80 C° and then the PSU is around 8 years old so I thought it might be failing.

- I Removed the Graphics card, my extra hard drives and only left the RAM and the main hard drive plugged in.
- Removed everything including the RAM
- Plugged only the RAM back in
- Plugged only 1 RAM stick back in
- Tried the other RAM stick
- Tried the other RAM slots
- Removed waited 5 minutes and reinstalled CMOS battery
- Tried to reset CMOS using jumper
- Plugging in a speaker and getting no beeps
