seahorspyo,
If the 1 and 2 LED lights are lit up and the power button is Orange then the problem could mean the following:

A possible system board failure has occurred.

  • Disconnect all internal and external peripherals, and restart the computer. If the computer boots, add the peripheral cards back one by one until you find the bad one.
  • If the problem persists, the system board is probably bad.

If the 1 and 2 LED lights are lit up and the power button is blue/ON then the issue could mean:

A possible expansion card failure has occurred.

  • Determine if a conflict exists by removing an expansion card (not a graphics card) and restarting the computer.
  • If the problem persists, reinstall the card you removed, then remove a different card and restart the computer.
  • Repeat this process for each expansion card installed. If the computer starts normally, troubleshoot the last card removed from the computer for resource conflicts.


Thank You,
