I recently had the same issue with my Acer and questions, i did all the test and took out mother board was going crazy. I do not have a light on my mobo. After endless looking and just about to give up on it I ready a post that helped and saved my PC. Turn the computer on and then right back off several times in a row as fast as you can. Then turn of and let it stand for a min and then start it up again. You should hear two beeps. If you are having the same prob I had were my computer was in permanent sleep mode this snapped back into life. Once I herd the two beeps I knew the prob was solved but I still could not get a display from my computer to monitor so i had to go and run HDMI to the TV then back the other way and have not had any problems again.
