I had him check for a voltage switch first thing. It didn't have one. I didn't think about the RAM slots,

MB could be getting power (blinking lights) but if CPU isn’t getting power.

CPU fan could also be screwed in too tightly or lose, probably best to re set it

Low hanging fruit - Re-seat the ram, unplug and plug the cpu power back in on the motherboard.

If its a CPU error, I bet the cpu power (the one closest to the cpu socket) came loose.

Good thoughts as well regarding memory in correct slots if there are 4 slots.
