ASUS A8N32-SLi onboard LEd is flashing...?

[BaldAvenger]

I came in to boot my PC this afternoon and got nothing. The only sign that there was power to the PC was the flashing LED. When I cracked the case I saw the onboard LED blinking. After looking through my manual and checking the manual online via ASUS' site, I can't find any reason why the LED would blink. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, if it helps, there was a bad thunderstorm this morning in my area. We did get a very short power outage, but the computer was not on and was attached to a UPS with surge protectio. Nothing else was affected that would lead me to believe that it was a surge. The power supply is a Seasonic.

Did you try plugging into a different wall outlet?

Followup: I tried the power supply with a different motherboard and it worked fine. The same couldn't be said for the original motherboard.
New mobo time.

if you don't have one already, get a power conditioning surge protector (ie, ups) to protect your computer gear
