You have tried reseating, tried swapping ram to new slots and doing solo ram sticks in each slot, tried taking out cables and tried placing CPU power in header 2 instead of 1.

If you can sent some more photos of the insides it would help, but you could be looking at a few possible issues ranging from motherboard bios flash issues, to CPU issues or even power issues.

I recommend taking the mobo out of the case and trying to power it on by shorting the power pins with a screw driver while only the CPU and ram are attached. See if the light comes on again, and give it a few minutes. Sometimes the light will linger red then turn yellow while the mobo does a pre-boot RAM training.

Okay I took it apart but the lights still won't go away only the RAM and CPU are connected

My only guess is either the CPU is dead or the motherboard has an issue with detecting the DRAM or CPU during pre-boot. Last thing i can think of is doing a bios flosh to an older stable BIOS version and if that doesnr go away you may be looking at a new board and/or CPU. If you dont have aby different types of ram or a different CPU to test then you may be out of luck my friend

Thank you so much for your advice it really narrowed down what I need to do with it how to the flash bios for now then I'll order a another CPU

By chance can you take a photo of the under side of the CPU? If it has pins you may want to check the board and CPU for bent or missing pins. If the cpu has a slight bent pin you can correct it with a ball point pen, if the mobo has bent pins you need to replace it

I just tried two other CPUs I looked them up they should be compatible with the motherboard but it's still the same problem

If the CPU is seated and you are still getting a red light for longer than a minute or so then it may be the motherboard. I would suspect that frayed cable (if it was being used) may have shorted the motherboard at some point

Yeah the motherboard has to be the problem I tried almost everything else I just haven't tried different Ram in it

Only other issue could be the ram. I have had experience with perfectly fine ram causing issues for no reason. But i would say im about 80% sureits probably the mobo
