So it started with a power supply issue. My computer suddenly shut off, so after getting some help I unplugged and replugged the PSU cables, and it worked. I set the computer back up at my desk, it stayed on for about 20 minutes, and turned off again.

 

Once turning back on again, no display appeared, and this time the red debug light appeared for the CPU when booting up. I tried a few things, reseeding the graphics card and ram, nothing has worked, and the CPU light continues to come on. I’m working on getting the materials to reseed the CPU, but I’d really like some advice as soon as possible.

I ordered and tried a new PSU, alongside reseeding the CPU with new thermal paste. None of the pins on the CPU were broken, and the red debug CPU light is still turning on. 

Which one did you order? Hopefully something higher quality than the Apevia...

I’ve also tried resetting the CMOS by removing the battery, alongside attempting to flash the BIOS but the red light wouldn’t flash.

Sadly it looks like something died and fell like it's the motherboard if that compatible cpu was known to be working fine on another motherboard.

It’s what I was thinking too. Working on getting a replacement motherboard, and hopefully that’ll be the end of it.
