Question Cpu qled light always on HELP

[juree]

I came home today and turned on my pc like usually, but it didn't turn on. I checked my motherboard and there was a red cpu qled light on. I tried some things like checking if everything is plugged in or if the cpu is damaged but nothing helped. What's even weirder is that yesterday it worked fine.
Pls help me

or if the cpu is damaged

How did you check that, exactly? 🤔 Since CPU is sandwiched between MoBo and CPU cooler, whereby you can not even see the CPU.

What's even weirder is that yesterday it worked fine.

Hardware can die at any given moment, often without any apparent reason. And for that, we have warranty. Since if hardware never fails, there wouldn't be a need for warranty.

a red cpu qled light

This means that MoBo can't connect to CPU, to initialize power-on, POST and boot.

Could be MoBo issue, could be CPU issue or could be caused by inferior PSU (that killed your hardware).
That being said,
Full system specs, including PSU make and model (or part number) is? Also, how old the PSU is, and was the PSU bought new or used/refurbished?

I removed my cpu and checked if anything Is damaged or dirty where it shouldn't be.

Here are my specs:

I'm also using my 2 year old m.2 and hdd.
My parts are about 1 week old except the AIO and the case are a few months and my m.2, cpu and hdd are about 2 years.

To figure out which of the component has the issue, you need 2nd, compatible PC, where to test out each component individually: CPU, MoBo, RAM and GPU.
Or haul your PC to PC repair shop and pay them to figure it out for you. Since something is toast inside your PC.

Now, CPUs are very reliable and it's rare to see them go belly up. But CPUs aren't invincible either. Though, MoBo is usually the one that goes belly up. Still, without testing, there is no certainty.

Btw, you have good quality PSU and i don't think it was PSU's issue. Most likely MoBo decided to quit on you.
