The motherboard shows a red indicator light.
I was sure my PC was fine then I cleaned it using an air blower and brushed gently with a clean brush. When I turned it on, the CPU and DRAM lights came on. I looked online and tried reattaching some pins, like the 8-pin CPU setup. It fixed things but now the red light stays on for BOOT and VGA. There are several situations: 1) Red light stays on during boot and VGA (lasts more than a couple minutes). 2) It loads slowly—about 40 to 60 seconds for the Asus logo, then runs very slowly with full CPU usage. I checked the task bar and found an antimalware service that’s taking over. 3) It hangs on the Asus logo loading screen (waited around two minutes). 4) It works without the red light but shows no signal on the monitor (blank screen). I’m confused about what’s happening now. What should I do next?
