Computer won't shut down

[Sadaman]

so recently i decided to clean my watercooling loop, all went well but a bit of water dripped down the motherboard.

I dryed everything out and made sure there was no water so i decided to boot my computer up

 

Everything was fine, games worked fine. No problems until i decided to shut down my computer. I clicked shut down and everything closed and proceeded to shut down but as soon as it does shuts down it turns back on again straight after.

 

Tried holding down the power button on my case but same thing happened. Turned off then straight away turned on again.

 

Was it possible that the water shorted something to cause it?

if so im assuming the only way to fix it is by buying a new motherboard

 

 

thanks

Probably, you could always just turn off the PSU everytime you want to shut off your PC, sucks since it works perfectly fine otherwise:/

i dont know anywaays of fixing this you can turn of your PSU everytime BUT dont do it while the PC is working it might damage your components do it when you shut down your PC there should be a gap between shutting down and it turning back on do it in that gap ;)

This is a sticky situation you are in.

I would disconnect all leds to the motherboard and take out the motherboard battery afterwards, then leave it for and hour to a half day with no power going through it. Then i would connect every thing back and see if the problem is solved keeping in mind that it may never come back on as sometimes shorts make electronics say a certain way until no power is going through it especially circuit boards. If you try this let me know how it worked out.

By doing that would that get rid of my overclock? i also found another problem with my harddrive so ill do it asap

It is impossible to damage components by just simply cutting the power, to start up and shutdown a computer a short is created, Windows might not like being shutdown in the middle of doing something but  your components would just think "oh okay time to turn off"
