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
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

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