Alright, we'll start with components, just simply because that's about all my mind can process at this point, due to I think this new build is going to give me a stroke. After the initial part of the build left me cursing in a language I'm not even sure I know. I had built with a MSI board that a friend had sold to me a couple years back, that had set in it's box until I got around to building, that after a week of flawless performance took up the bad habit of smoking on the back side of one of the capacitors, really handy. Long story short, I went and bought a new motherboard.

Now that I have everything back in place, I'm attempting to get this thing up and running and have found myself cursing again, fortunately, this time in English for now. However, I run into that lovely Red CPU LED that multiple people have commented on. At this time, I've retraced my build several times, seated and reseated pieces several times, and can't seem to get that Red CPU LED to go away and can't get a display to come up. I'm hoping that the previous motherboard's little transgression has not fried any of the other components, as a paramedic, I'm a bit more accustomed to working on people, instead of computers, and definitely not made of money. So here's to hoping for a solution.
