I'm trying to assemble a new gaming PC. I finished last night but it failed to turn on. The motherboard standby power light was on, however.
This morning when I turned it on, the motherboard light was blinking, which I took to indicate a short. I removed the motherboard from the case and removed all the parts from the motherboard except for the CPU and cooler. I disconnected all power except for the 24 pin motherboard power. Despite this, the motherboard standby power light is still blinking. I tried this with two different power supplies. Does this indicate a permanently broken motherboard?
