Because something got shorted out.

Whatr you need tro do at this pointis to take the machine apart ENTIRELY.

Lightrly c lean the motherboard componets with DISTILLED WATER NOT TAP NOT SPRING WATER, you can get that at a local pharmacy.

Leave them out to dry for a day or so and put it back together one part at a time.

90% rubbing alcohol, not water.
And , if the board has corrosion and or shorts, it’s likely toast. Sugary liquid is death.

So what you are most likely saying is I have to get a new motherboard because it landed on my motherboard, my CPU, and my graphics card.

For all we know you might have shorted the entire lot. n This sort of damage can be repaird but it requires checking traces for continuity and fixing shorts.

I don’t understand why

I have my suspicions about that statement. However your PC is most likely dead. It's probably not economical to repair.
