Give me a real answer. I know it's not the PSU or the RAM or the GPU. It can't be the 8 pin CPU connector. I have reseated the 8350 and I still get the light. All of my fans are spinning including my heatsink fan.

I can't get my PC to post for the first time. I press the power button and all my fans spin up like normal except I get a red CPU led showing some kind of error. What could the error be or how can I figure it out??

I just Plagiarized this from another thread:
Hi,
The CPU requires the 1006 BIOS version.
On the motherboard there shouild be a barcode sticker.
The last 4 digits on that sticker stand for the BIOS version.
Check it firstly in order to see if a BIOS update is needed or not.

I know I saw that thread. That's how I found out the bios.
