4 Red Led Lights - Please help

the other day I left my computer on for a few hours and when I came home and moved the mouse it wouldn't come out of standby.  To get it to shut off, I had to hold the power button down.  Now when I start it, the fans start spinning, the DVD drive spins for a second and a few times the orange light on the monitor turned green.  But after about 10 seconds, it shuts down.
I have the 4 red lights on the LED, so I swapped in a new PS - Enermax 550W with 36A on the 12v.  Still same thing.  So I'm guessing either the CPU or the board.  I built this about 6 months ago.  It's not overclocked and it was idle during the time I left it.  Any suggestions?

Yes and no. I know that is confussing. However go to this first as you may have had a problem right along and did not know it nor would you without testing.  Memtest86 is a great way to test memory. The no part is that it could be something else. But hey you have to start somewhere.
As for the timings in RAM you need to go to Corsairs page and check the exact model on their charts. Also be sure to read any side notes as they may have specific timings for your A64 versus other CPU's. It can be different as the memory controller is on the CPU in our case instead of on the MB.
Corsair also has tech support that can walk you through memory timings if you don't follow them at all.
You can also have some other thing in the system that went bad even as simple as a HDD cable that came loose. To troubleshoot sometimes the easiest way to find out is to unplug anything that is not needed to boot.
But start with the memory as the 4 Red LED's indicate.

  • HDD LED Light **PLEASE HELP***

    I am not sure what I did wrong, but my left case light (I believe called the HDD LED) keep going on and off. I don't know if this is a healthy situation for the computer or not... Is this light suppose to be steady at all times? Why is it blinking every few seconds?
    Please help with your knowledge,
    Thanks in advanced!!!

    Use the HDDs on the primary IDE channel. One Master One Slave. On the secondary channel mount the DVD as master and the CD rom as slave.
    Yes if you have a window open for browsing and a MP3 playing in the background you are likely to have some HDD activity.
    If you turn those off and still get activity then disconnect from the internet if you are on Dialup or remove the Ethernet cable if you are on High Speed connect. If the lED goes out after a while then it is likely that you are infected or have a serious spyware issue. It does not matter if you are on a clean install. If the modem was hooked up during your install it only takes four seconds to become found and infected these days on the internet if your firewall was not up or and you had a connection to the internet.

    Okay so today i swapped from a 7130e to a 8330 (verizon)
    i was able to remove the old security Policy using Jl_Cmder (which worked great) and i got rid of the firewall issue as well.
    phone was working great until i tried to use the device switch wizard, half way therough the process of upgrading the 8330 the os upgrade failed. I was trying to upgrade to the latest verizon release 8330AMEA_PBr4_1.5.0_rel101_PL3.2.0.51_A4.5.0.77.exe.
    Now my device seems to be hosed.  All it does is flash the red light two times every 2 seconds.
    When i connect the device to my PC device manager sees the smartphone connect on the USB hub, but the device manager never seems to find the device.
    I have done a hard reset, ---no change.
    tried to reset to defaults using JL_cmder --- no change but got the following error.

  • My bb curve 9380 shutdown and a red led lighting

     my bb curve 9380 shutdown and a red led lighting i don't now what hapned but i just modify some apps bay bb desktop softwere please help me and thx verry much

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB):
    With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall charger
    Leave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    Remove the battery
    Wait 15 minutes
    Insert the battery
    Wait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display does
    This has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
    It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:
    Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happens
    Obtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happens
    The results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem.
    If the problem is revealed via the above tests to be your BB, then I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
    KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
    It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
    If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
    But if the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you may need to consider more drastic actions -- WIPE, OS Reload, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, and the "Bare Bones" OS Reload Process. To prepare, you should be sure that you have a full backup to your PC...please review the Backup link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions.

  • Red LED Light Remains On

    The battery is fully charged and disconnected from charger.  When hibernating, the red LED light constantly remains on.  When the phone is being used, the red LED light does not appear.
    What is wrong? How can this be fixed?  Thanks much for help.

    I'm a total newbie to smartphones.  Based on your question, I cleared all the Notifications and the red LED disappeared.  Then sent myself an email to test the blue LED light and it is now blinking.  So, the problem might be solved but don;t know why the red LED constantly displayed after charging the battering to 100%.  
    Don't know about Lightflow!
    Thanks

  • Red Led Light

    Hi, I have bought this laptop which is fairly new, just under a year. Although now, there is an red Led light on the side of my laptop when I plug in my Ac Adaptor to charge the battery and it is not going. The Led Light was always a bright white light but now it just stays red and I dont know why? Is there a problem with my laptop? because it is working fine. I dont know how to solve the red led light or what it means. I hope I can get some information about this. Thank You.

    Did you try starting the Mac back up after installing the RAM and before installing the card? Many times a PMU reset is needed after RAM is installed.
    Which model of Rocket Raid card are you installing?

  • HELP! BB Pearl 8130. Solid Red Led Light. Won't go away.. HELP!

    My LED has turned a solid Red color. It's on all the time and is only off when I pull the battery out. My phone does still charge. I've done everything to get rid of it even wiping my blackberry and upgrading the software. I read something about Blackberry Music Gateway? I do use my pearl to listen to Pandora everyday and iheart radio with a 3.5 cable that plugs into the dash of my truck, but it never did this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!
    Justin

    Justin, so you've wiped the device completely and reloaded a new OS... still does the same. Anytime the BlackBerry is powerd on, the LED lights up RED?

  • PT880 Neo 4 red led, Need your help please!!

    Hello all
    It is my first post and I need your help. Today I purchased a combo P4 3/800 E Box CPU, MSI PT880 Neo FSR Mboard  and DDR 512MB 3200 VS Corsair 400Mhz 184 Pin Dimm from Fry's Electronic. I can not get my system to boot , no beep but only 4 red led and nothing on the screen. I used on my system Enermax 300W with DVD burner, DVD player, 60G HD, SBlive 5.1, ALL in Wonder Radeon 32Mb..After I am following all recommendation in the defferents Topic, I have no luck it won't boot. The 4 red leds are still on. Help me please thank you
    Brono85

    I've just got my Noisetaker 470watts too, it has the same rails as CoolerGiant , but I like CoolerGiant's active cooling system for both CPU and PSU , just that it's too lengthy and my chassis was small in size .
    Back to the topic, likewise anr11 mentioned, you may need a BIOS flash and you can use Memtest86 to test your RAMs out .

  • Playbook will not charge, no red LED light

    The Battery charge said 3%. I turned off the playbook and plugged it in and left it to charge with the LED lights  showing. I went to retrieve it, only to find out it's not turning on. No red light appeared. nothing. I went and  plugged it in and then tried turning it on  Nothing.No red light...just dead.  PS: I just got the Playbook from relative without the manual and all so i'm not sure about the DO's and DON"T's of using the tablet.  Please help!!!  Thanks in Advance. 

    Your battery is dead. http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB27705
    Try this:
    Connect the charger that came with the PlayBook and plug it into the wall. Hold down the Power Button only for 20 seconds. Leave it for 4 minutes, then unplug at the wall, wait a minute, plug it back in again, hold down the Power Button only for 20 seconds.
    Repeat this process about 10 times and hopefully, your PlayBook should go into a high charging rate. Leave it plugged in overnight and you should have a full charge by morning.

  • Mysterious red LED light inside my G4

    Could someone tell me what the red light means on the inside of my G4?
    It can't be seen from the outside.
    I am having a problem with my firewire ports not working. Is this a warning or alert of some kind?
    Help! I really looked and can't find this info anywhere!

    From the G4 Service Manual:
    Logic Board LEDs: Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics)
    There is one red LED on the Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics) logic
    board. It indicates that there is power to the board and does not imply a fault condition. Hardware such as DIMMs and PCI cards should not be installed or removed when the LED is on.
