My computer x79 sabertooth, shutdown overnight and just flames a green led on the mobo together with a couple more led's on the graphics card. What does that mean?
 
Solution
Depending on what LED is on, it can be many things. Check that guide page 34 (http://www.manualslib.com/manual/415077/Asus-Sabertooth-X79.html?page=34#manual) on section 2.2.7 .
You will find out which LED defines what component problem. We may help you solve the problem after that.

Solution
best I remember on that is the green led is on to show the board is under power /standby power and is normal [when you turn off the psu and unoplug it from the wall then hit the on switch and hold it for a sec or 2 it will go out to show the board is now discharged of all power also it did not flash just stayed on constantly ]

the rest should be trouble lights [red] and should not be on unless theses a issue with its corresponding part or hardware [at least that's how it worked on my old sabertooth]
