Hey All...
Went to bed last night with a Windows 7 update pending. Woke up this morning and my computer was on but the screens wouldn't come on and the keyboard & mouse didn't have any power (caps lock wouldnt come on, no optical light from mouse).
When I try rebooting the computer it, my screens never turn on (the power light on screens remains yellow/orange, never goes to blue) and my mouse & keyboard never get power either regardless of which USB slot I plug them into.
The CPU LED light remains lit RED after booting. Also, during one reboot session it gave me an error message about my BIOS saying to put a USB in with file named SABERX79.CAP or insert my Sabertooth Support CD. I put the Support CD in and nothing happened. I've been unable to get that error message to display since then.
My ASUS Sabertooth manual says to do the USB FLashback with file named SABERX79.ROM but the actual error message I was shown, and other people online, say to use SABERX79.CAP. Also, when I download the actual files from asus.com it comes as .CAP
When researching online some people seem to say this red CPU LED being lit is caused by my power supply going bad, or a power supply connector going bad? Some also say that Asus uses the CPU LED being lit red to indicate Bios needed to be flashed back? Does anyone know which is correct? And if it is the BIOS, am I flashing it back incorrectly?

, took me a while to find it since it was blocked by my water cooler radiator...
