I am in the process of building a PC for the first time and am having an issue. I have everything connected correctly but when I try to boot the PC the LED labeled CPU_LED blinks red once every 4ish seconds and my monitor says that there is no signal.
Coinciding with this blink all of the fans work and the WIFI adapter blinks as well, but whenever the light is off the fans do not move.
I've done some testing and discovered that when the CPU isn't being powered all the fans run fine and the light on the WIFI adapter is solid, but obviously the PC isn't functional without the CPU being powered.
Nothing changes when I remove one of the ram sticks or when I move it to different positions. Further, nothing changes when i remove the gpu leading me to think that either the motherboard or CPU has an issue.
The CPU worked fine in an older computer so I am thinking that maybe the motherboard has an issue.
Does anyone know what may be causing this? The ram is also from an older computer so maybe that is not compatible?
