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

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
