Hx620 starting to fail I think

[routerguy99]

I have a hx620 for about 2 weeks , I have shut down my computer but the power light blinks.

Maybe since the problems is in the 5v rail, I will do more testing on the USB devices plugged in.

 

I have contacted Asus, thinking there is MB problem. here is the response i have received.

 

"If the mainboard SB_PWR LED is blinking, then what is probably happening is that the standby power bus is getting overloaded, The problem is generally in the power supply.

but if somehow a short to ground has occurred on a standby power trace in the mainboard, this behavior can occur."

 

Thanks

Are you able to boot the system up into Windows? Do you have any problems other than the blinking light?

I will not be able to test this till tonight when I get home. I just unplugged the main power had to go to work.

 

Thanks
