Spilled a few drops of water on mobo

[-Mo___]

Just a few minutes ago i accedently spilled some water over my computer wich had no case at the time. There were a few drops on the motherboard wich i quickly tried to clean using a towel i had with me.I also saw a few drops on my gpu wich was laying upwards thankfully but im still afriad some drops might have went in to the gpu. I tried starting up the pc a bit later and all seemed well. Then all of the sudden the pc just fully froze and i forcefully turned it off. A bit later using a fan to clean any possible water i tried to turn the pc on again, But that time it wouldnt even boot. The cpu fan just spins for a second or two and then repeats itself. i can also hear the hdd startup sound for a quick second. i do not see the gpu or normal pc fan do anyhthing. I had this problem before where i would have bluescreens and the pc would do the unable to restart thing.

Note : i did imidiatly turn off the pc and disconnect the ac unit after it happened before trying anything else

Note 2 : I am fully aware of the stupid descicions i made and now i just want some directions.

Hi

You should have unplugged the pc from the mains and left it off for a few days
Now you may have burnt out the motherboard and graphics card

If you have an intel with integrated graphics or a amd with integrated graphics then in a few days time you can remove the graphics card and see if the motherboard still works

If no integrated graphics can you borrow a pci-e grahics card?

Try reseting cmos using jumper before powering on again but leave system off at least two days if it looks dry now.

You could try putting the gpu in a plastc bag with rice or silica gell to absorb any water vapour

But wait at least two days before powering on again

Hey thank you for the reply. its been 1 day since i have let all the pc parts dry seperatly. Tommorow i will do as you said and try to turn the pc on. i think i will first only use the motherboard and hdd and see if it will turn on. You reccomended me not to use my rx 480 right? and only try the mobo first and i assume if that works i could also add the gpu back on the mobo and try turning it on again. Quick question. If the mobo was fried would there even be any possibility of the cpu fans spinning or hdd spinning? Or would it stay completely queit. Also the droplets of water fell right over here ''https://gyazo.com/a3eb76f348cb946bec4416b80b9fc212'' Marked with yellow. Would it still be possible for that little ammount to kill a gpu? Atleast i can replace the mobo if need but the gpu is too expensive for me.
