I think I should describe my issue from the beginning.About 2 months ago I built 2 computers one for my father with a i3 6100 and an asus h110 mobo and one for me with a g3258 and a gigabyte mobo.I never wanted the PC for hardcore gaming just some low req games but lately I decided that since my father only uses his PC for browsing the web and youtube I would swap mobos so that I would get the more powerful i3.I did the swap and my father's PC now with the g3258 started without any problems and started downloding some drivers, I went to get the driver CD and when I came back the PC was off I tried restarting and the fans started spinning for a bit and the power led started blinking but nothing happened and then this keeps repeating until I unplug the PSU.I tried switching RAM placements,holding the power button etc.When I plugged it to the PSU of my other PC now with the i3 6100 the same issue happened again.I swapped mobos again and now my father's PC works perfectly as it was before but mine still has that issue with the blinking light and fans starting for a bit.At this point I'm sure its the mobo but I'm posting here to see if there is a fix without having to send my mobo for repair or even buy a new one.
