![]() ![]() But I've had to replace the PSU a few times during the life of this rig and never has it triggered the CPU LED. My main curiosity is that everything has been working perfectly fine for a long time and it just happens to go down 2 days after installing a new HDD, which leads me to lean towards the PSU, if anything. Just hoping they still have life in them. I built this computer quite a while ago so I'm aware that the mobo and CPU are quite old at this point. I'm trying to avoid buying a new PSU, CPU and mobo trying to figure out which one is to blame (hopefully none of I'm missing something simpler) so I was hoping someone with more knowledge than me might be able to narrow it down better. All with the same result: powers up, nothing on the screen, all fans and LEDs running and the CPU LED still solid red. Tried removing the RAM, tried just one stick of RAM. I tried reseating the CPU, the RAM and the video card. I open the case back up and I notice the CPU LED on the mobo is solid red whenever I power it up. So the problem is that, even after reinstalling the CPU 3-4 times, while checking that the pins are not bent and that I put it in correctly, the CPU LED is a solid red. The video card is new, I just installed it 9 months ago. - Asus M5A99FX pro r2.0 (mobo) - AMD FX-8350 (cpu) - Rosewill RX850-S-B (psu) The rest of the parts are irrelevant because I know they already work. I tried two different monitors with 2 different HDMI cables and neither recognize a signal. Shut it down for the night, turn it on the next day, it powers on, fans and LEDs are running, but nothing on the screen. Again, worked perfectly fine for 8+ hours. ![]() I removed said dying drive, closed her up and powered it on. The computer worked perfectly fine for a full day with the case open as I was transferring data from an older, dying WD Green drive. This is now the 4th HDD in my rig along with a 1tb WD Blue, a 3tb WD Blue and a 3tb Toshiba. I recently just installed a new 6tb WD Blue HDD in my rig. PS, I didn't overclock anything neither did I change anything between being able and unable to boot.I'm hoping someone can help. Could I possibly have fried the CPU or broken anything else by doing this? Is there anyone who knows a possible solution or do I have to wait another 3.5 weeks for another RMA to be able to use my computer? I tried clearing CMOS, updating the BIOS through BIOS flashback, switching the EPU and TPU functions on and off and made sure that all power connectors were connected properly but it still wouldn't post. When I turned it on afterwards the CPU_LED was shining red indicating something was wrong with the CPU and the system didn't post. The computer was totally unresponsive to me pressing mouse and keyboard buttons so I turned it off by holding down the power switch. Since I couldn't close the game with alt+f4 or by right clicking the icon in the taskbar on my secondary monitor I accidently put the computer in sleep mode with the windows 8 menu in the side, I was supposed to click turn off but missclicked. I booted up a game and went into an ingame menu when my suddenly monitor went black except for the cursor which still was working and looked like the game's custom cursor. Today I got my new PSU, put it in the system and everything was working fine. I put a fan on top of the PSU and was able to use the computer for a couple of days during which I installed windows and played some games but most importantly confirmed that everything else worked as it was supposed to.
