So this is new, upon starting my computer last night, I noticed that nothing really happened. The fans started spinning, but no lights on keyboard or mouse, and no signal in display. Upon closer inspection I noticed that the CPU_LED light is on, and it's red. It's a nice colour, but not in this context.
Everything worked more or less a week ago, when I shut the computer down and disconnected it from the electric network. Since that's the only thing that has happened (no one's even touched the case), I wonder if the CMOS battery has something to do with the situation. Can a dead battery screw up things in this fashion, or did the CPU just happen to break at the exact same time the computer went unplugged?
Relevant hardware:
MB: Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-8370
Power unit is CORSAIR Builder Series CX 80+ Bronze 600 W, but all the usual motherboard lights are on before startup, and all the fans work, so dunno if it's relevant.
