My computer was working fine for ~3 years but then the power went out on my apartment. Now when I try to turn it on the cpu fans sound very loud and turn off, then turn on again. The blue light indicators saying that my computer is on doesn't turn on. An LED on the motherboard labeled "cpu" is a bright red color.

Usually the red color means that the motherboard can't communicate with the cpu. It is either the motherboard or cpu that had a heart attack from the power outage. As the other person said start with resetting the cmos but other than that I would try swapping parts looking for damage..

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.
