Sabertooth wtf

So for the last two days my 990fx sabertooth has been giving me issues. I keep getting the red led which indicates their is something wrong with my gpu. I don't get any beep code or anythin, just a red led and a black screen. I did the clear thing first, that being jumping the motherboard, no luck. So I thought it was the gpu, so I switched my 6990 with a 5770, same issue, then I tried a 9600gt with still the same issue. then I moved to the psu, maybe it was not giving enough power which makes no sense because a beep code would have told me that. So I went about any ways and swapped my ax850 with a xion850 and still the same thing. Is their something that I am boarding here? It does not seem my motherboard is broken? It seems something is frozen in the motherboard and it just won't turn over.

Ps I also tried different pci lanes.

Pps all the gpus work.

If someone has anything to bring to the table please let me know, my pc is quite latterly my life support. I an using a temporary netbook I picked up yesterday after this happened and us soooo slow.

I did this on my phone so forgive any errors. Thank you.

Sounds like you need to RMA it. Did you try removing the battery for the bios and try and check if any new bios updates are availeble?
 
yea i removed the battery. Also if their was a BIOS update it would make no difference because i cant even get into the motherboard.
 
It would bring more relief if i knew how it broke, or what broke. Nothing fits together with this situation, I just restarted my computer and nothing showed up. Besides I am supposed to get a beep code if nothing is working, and not even that is happening?

I can't get into anything. It's like non of the PCI lanes work. I keep getting a VGA error so nothing is coming out of any VGA i put into it. So if it is getting into BIOS i can't see it.
 
I'm sure you have already done this but if not try reseating everything maybe with everything out (battery included) a jump of the clear cmos and a few hours unpowered totally might breath life in it again
 
The same happened with my old P5N - T DELUXE. Just like that. Apart from the fact there was no indicator LED on mine, and it was after warranty. 2 months after warranty, to be exact. Never got it back to work, although it still waits to be given another chance

well when i get the time I will take apart my entire computer and put it back to gether, including the battery. I have heard this sometimes happens when the bettery is dead but not likely i say. hopefully I get it working again, I dont have the time to RMA this, if I cant get it to work I am just going to get a new motherboard. This is why I went with AMD, so if this happens (other than GPU) it will roughly $250 tops to fix
