  1. Motherboard: Asus Z87-A CPU: i5-4460 RAM: 32GB SSD: Samsung 850 EVO GPU: 1050ti PSU: Thermaltake Smart 700w (non modular) Computer was working fine. Extremely high humidity and the fact I touched the PSU beforehand excludes the possibility of ESD having shorted the motherboard. Opened it up, installed my new PCI wifi card. Computer refused to POST. After this, I removed the wifi card, but to no avail. Haunted by the BOOT_DEVICE_LED I tested each RAM slot and stick individually. In the end, I removed all of the RAM, the GPU, the wifi card, and all of the USB devices. It is worth noting that when this desktop was first acquired, a couple of days ago, of all the 32GB of RAM (4x8GB) only 24GB were being detected, but the DRAM LED never stayed red. Booting sequence now resembles this... -DRAM_LED turns red for 1 second and then turns off. -CPU_LED turns red for 1 second and then turns off. -VGA_LED turns red for 3 seconds, fans stop spinning, computer reboots and then... -DRAM_LED turns red for 1 second and then turns off. -CPU_LED turns red for 1 second and then turns off. -VGA_LED turns red for 3 seconds and then turns off. -BOOT_DEVICE_LED turns red and stays that way. Video related, as it is the actual sequence (apologies for recording in portrait mode like an idiot): Things I have tried (using the simplest imaginable setup, as per the second paragraph): -Resat the RAM -Checked for cables touching the motherboard and shuffling them -Ensured that all the cables are properly connected -Tried to use a different SATA connector for the SSD -Reset the CMOS using the jumper method as per the manual -After the removal of the GPU and having reset the CMOS, I tried to plug the monitor to the iGPU -Tried to turn it on with no boot devices
