HI guys,
I know, this question have appeared a lot of times already. But i have tried every single solution already. None have worked. I dont have a chassis speaker so i cant do a beep test. However, on asus M5A97 they have this post state LEDS, which will light up if they detected any problem with your hardware. So basically my cpu led light up, however, i tried to remove the cpu and start up the motherboard it's still the same light. I've tried removing everything and it's still the same cpu light. So no matter what i tried, the cpu light will light up. I highly suspect that the problem is with the motherboard now. However i am not very sure.. So i need some help here!!
Thanks very much for reading!
Btw i have being using this computer for 2 years plus already. Today it hanged on me and when i tried to restart this happened..
P.s. I am using fx 8350, gtx 750ti, 8gb ddr3 ram

No problem man, if you want you can try taking other parts out and trying it then, try reseating memory, changing memory slots, etc. Maybe you would want to get a chassis speaker so you can hear the code.

If there is no CPU and the light comes on it might very well be the Motherboard itself. Do you have another board to test the CPU? If not, maybe you might want to look for a cheap MSI 970 chipset AM3+ board to test. If the CPU is fine then the mobo is gone. Unfortunately there is no other easy way to test the CPU.
