Red light on mother board... computer not starting up

[AccruedExpenditure]

Fried CPU?

On my Abit NF7-S the red light meant that the Mobo had power and don't be a fool and try to mess around with things while the power cord is still attached

cpu heatsink fan attached to proper connector?

 

[Broadkipa]

could be power supply, I had the same problem once, had power light on board but comp would not boot, turned out to be power supply was bad.

Could be your AGP card is of the wrong voltage.

System specs? New build or working system that suddenly stopped working?
