hello, I spilled coffee on my keyboard as stated, but now the whole pc won't work. I bought a new keyboard but when I try to boot up my pc it goes to a blue screen that's title automatic repair.. "your pc did not start correctly" and no matter what I do I end up back at this screen. I'm very frustrated anything helps, im sure.

And not sure 100% but while this was all going down initially, i was trying to turn my comp on and off with the psu switch and when i turned it back on it all i think there mightve been a big light flick inside my tower

The keyboard has nothing to do with this, if you use the power switch to shut off the system without a proper shutdown it can cause issues with the file system or even damage the hard drive, especially if it's a platter drive.

That light flicker is also not good, but again nothing to do with the keyboard.

I'd grab another hard drive, and do a clean Windows setup on that see if things work on that.

what are your pc specs? is this a laptop? usually for a desktop this would not ruin the whole pc.

"...i think there mightve been a big light flick inside my tower..."
Oh dear lord that's not good
  1. a Genie is trying to materialize in your case
  2. Your PSU just shuffled off this mortal coil

Pick one...
