The fact that you lost 2 hard drives makes me even more sure that this is a reverse polarity issue, not dust shorts. I'll bet the wires coming out of the ends are in a different arrangement. Take a close look at the old cables and the new cables. Modular cables are not interchangeable! Most use the same 6 pin connectors to connect to the PSU, but have completely arbitrary pinouts which vary depending on the vendor. Did you leave the cables from the older power supply in place? It sounds like you had a modular power supply, and you new power supply is also modular. Update: After switching to the cables provided with the PSU I am now able to boot. In any case, the original question still stands - how do you interpret the patterns? Who knows why? Unfortunately it looks like one SSD and one HDD were fried by dust shorts in the process - The SSD is not detected and the machine refuses to start if I connect the power plug to the HDD (I tried multiple cables). The 24+8 motherboard+CPU connectors are all connected. It should not be a power problem, since the new PSU has more wattage than the old one, and it's running the same hardware. That is, if I press it there's no beep, DRAM_LED light or fans running. If I attach any other cables to the PSU (SATA, GPU) the power button stays red but doesn't do anything. Having a reference for all of these would be extremely useful. I've tried pressing the MemOK! button with miscellaneous configurations of memory (1st, 2nd and 3rd slot), and sometimes get three blinks, sometimes two and sometimes one.

When I put the card back, it still POSTs but displays a message on screen: Please power down and connect the PCIe cables for this graphics card (the cables are obviously plugged in).What are the canonical meanings of the different DRAM_LED, power button and beep patterns prior to BIOS POST on Asus motherboards? My manual and miscellaneous web searches have turned up nothing but vague notions in forums. UPDATE: reseated DRAM, took out video card and the motherboard seems to POST now. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :( The manual says "If an error is found the critical component LED stays lit up until the problem is resolved." In my case they just flash and torn off (until the process repeats).Īnyone seen something similar? I'd rather avoid the guessing game of buying and trying replacement component blindly. Power button no longer is able to turn it off, I have to unplug the power cable.At this point the motherboard powers off for ~3s, then the whole process repeats.

Then in quick succession, yellow and red LEDs go up and down (those are AFAIK, CPU and DRAM LEDs).Starts POST normally, fans start working, logo on the side of the video card lights up.

Just to be clear, this is not a new build - my PC has been working flawlessly for a long time and last hardware component upgrade was months ago, so this is totally out of the blue. Seeking help for motherboard ASUS ROG Strix z370-e gaming, which suddenly stopped working.
