Hi there, I am experiencing some issues with my PC starting, I'll explain what happened...
So I was cleaning up my desk with a vacuum and I accidentally spilled some beer on my keyboard and desk. I removed the drink from my desk, and cleaned the area, although there's a chance some liquid got into the case. I plugged my keyboard back in and tested to see if it still worked. Everything looked fine and so I started to clean it up. After a while I noticed my screen turned off and the RGB on my peripherals weren't lighting up. I tried pressing my keys and nothing happened, the screen didn't wake, so I shut the PC down. When I tried to reboot it, it wouldn't go to POST and would power cycle after 40 secs or so. I noticed the CPU and DRAM lights were on, which obviously isn't a good sign.
I have tried changing the graphics card, reseating the RAM, and ensuring the power supply was properly connected. At this point, I am convinced either the motherboard or the CPU must have failed. The good news is the board is still under manufacturing warranty so I can RMA it if necessary. I purchased it on January 21 of 2020, so it should be within warranty. Should I RMA it through Newegg or ASRock?
What I want to know is if you agree with me, or if it could be something else. All I know is I am probably going to be without a PC for a bit which sucks.
