Bad PSU?

What do the capacitors on the mobo look like?

First, make sure everything is plugged in properly, especially the CPU power plug and all video card plugs. Does it boot?

Next, unplug it from all power sources and let it sit a minute. Plug everything back in and see if it boots normally.

Next, unplug your power switch from the motherboard and short the power switch pins to eliminate the power switch as a problem.

If it doesn't boot, check your PSU with a tester ($20 from Frys, Microcenter or NewEgg).

If the PSU is fine, RMA the motherboard.

all silver. none burnt out

Sorry didn't see you moved this.

It's probably the power supply. BF4 had been pushing mine pretty hard.

Did you find what the green light means? I'm almost 100% sure it'll give you at least a direction to head.

Its an asus sabertooth mb. i hear a click sound when trying to power on but no beep before the boot. Just a steady green light. Will work on it tonight more

Found it. If it's the led by your VGA it would appear that your GPU is unseated or it died.

"POST State LEDs
The POST State LEDs provide the status of these key components during POST (Power-On-Self Test): CPU, memory modules, VGA card, and hard disk drive.s If an error is found, the critical component’s LED stays lit up until the problem is solved."

Thanks Gray. It just blinks..does not stay lit. If my gpu is unseated, can i take them out and pop them back in? hopefully they did not die. im running 2 gtx 580's in sli.
