Hello all, Been having trouble with my PC. Let me list my specs for you real quick, so I can help you help me: CPU: AMD FX 8150 Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth 990FX Bios 1208 Power Supply: Nexus RK-1K 1000W ATX 2.2 80 Plus PFC Tranquility PSU Video Card: Radeon HD 6850 Case: Antec DF-85 RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws X Series 16 GB SSD: Corsair Force Series GT 120 GB SSD OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit Headset: Razer Megalodon Headset Now, what's happening is when I hit the power button on my Antec DF-85, everything comes on; all fans on the case, video card fan, CPU fan, etc etc. But there's a CPU LED light that stays a solid red color, right next to the CPU socket. Then nothing else happens. PC doesn't boot or anything. I've replaced the CPU with a new 8150 CPU, and that worked for a day or two. And then I left the PC on last night, and woke up this morning to the PC being "on" with the CPU LED light solid AGAIN after replacing the CPU, then couldn't boot into Windows again. I have no idea what's going on. Could it be BIOS? I did, not too long ago, update to Bios version 1208. How can I reset the BIOS if that is the case? I'm kinda technical, but not super duper technical. Also, here's a video of me before I replaced the CPU: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3TC2BzBUno Yesterday:I took out the CMOS battery, and moved the CLRTC jumpers to position 2 and 3. I then went to bed. This morning, I placed the battery back into the motherboard, and moved the CLRTC jumpers back to positions 1 and 2. And still, doesn't get past the CPU LED light being on. Could I just have really bad luck with CPUs? Is it something that I did? Is the motherboard bad? I really need a working PC... I've tried removing everything,leaving only 1 of everything in, all sorts of various configurations. But nothing is getting me past this CPU LED light being on. Not a darn thing. Thanks! Today: Rather peculiar thing happened this morning, just walked up to my PC and turned it on. Didn't do anything different or special, didn't tinker with anything inside. Just a last ditch effort before I put in an RMA for the mobo. And, 'lo and behold, PC came on flawlessly. No idea why or how, but it did. So I rolled back my BIOS to the previous version. At work now, monitoring the PC via Hamachi / Remote Desktop, and it seems to be doing just fine.Not sure what that was all about.... Well, darn. Came back from lunch, and the Hamachi / Remote Desktop was disconnected to my home PC.Texted my GF, she tried to get into Windows on my home pc, didn't work. Said the PC itself is on, but it isn't booting into Windows.I'm willing to bet if I went home, the CPU LED light would be on, and it wouldn't get any further.
Sounds like the Motherboard is going bad, I don't think it is the CPU's... Also check your ram, remove them and reseat them...Next try with 1 ram chip at a time..
