Yesterday I accidentally spilled some orange juice on my desk, and a few drops landed on the top of my PC case. I quickly unplugged the computer, most of the juice fell onto the radiator of my watercooler, but since it had a dust filter on top, very little made its way inside. After opening the case, I found only a few tiny drops scattered around. I left it open overnight to let it air out and then removed the radiator, positioning it at an angle so the juice could drain out. In the morning, a small stain appeared on my carpet from some of the spill, and I had to clean it up. Later, I took out the radiator again and put in a stick of RAM, trying to power on the PC. It worked fine without any issues, though no image showed up on the monitor. When I attempted to reinstall the GPU, the same problem occurred. How should I proceed with troubleshooting? Any advice would be appreciated.

This afternoon I reinstalled the radiator using one stick of RAM and attempted to power it up, but it sounded normal without any issues; however, no image appeared on my screen. Then I tried reinserting the GPU, and the same problem occurred. Confused: I wouldn't expect any output from the monitor when the GPU is removed. Does the CPU have built-in graphics?

I should have been more specific; it still worked.
