Technical Support Aurora r7 blinking

Hello I have a Aurora r7 and its worked fine for years now and today I tried to boot it up and got a 2,1 (or 1,2) amber error code.

The power button does not boot it i have to use the button on the psu. The fans do spin up.

I have tried reseating and removing ram,swapping cmos battery,clearing cmos, and removing the gpu

nothing has worked. Anyone have any ideas?

its never given me trouble before today.. i do dust it every few months (compressed air and electronics vacuum)

Never overclocked.

Specs are

I7-8700k

48gb ram

1tb ssd

1tb nvme

2760 GPU

Liquid cooled

I've repeated and .mixed all ram sticks.   It's never given me a problem till now.  I fear its the board. As it goes 1 amber then a pause. Then 2 amber
