Hi everyone,
I work on a computer shop and we have a problem with an assembled pc.
The computer is completly freezing randomly. I have to reboot it.
It happens when my customer is playing games or watching full HD movies.
I notice something when it happens :
(from 1:15)
Then i looked on intel website for technical specifications and in found this :
Led Status - hebergeur d'image - Casimages.com -
The red led is the 13th one ==>+5 V Standby power indicator
So what does it mean ? What's wrong with this led ?
FYI the led is ONLY red when the computer is freezing otherwise it's OFF.
We already replaced all the components.
Here's the configuration :
If anyone could help us, it could be great 
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english 
Van Lier,
Are you sure you're looking at the +5 V Standby Power Indicator LED? The +5 V Standby Power Indicator LED is green to show that power is still present even when the computer appears to be off.
Right next to it (both sides) are the Watch Dog Fire/Back to BIOS and CPU Error LEDs. These are red.
I suggest verifying that you're looking at the correct LED, then return to the Technical Product Specification for an explanation.
Regards,
John
Hi,
I’m not sure this is the +5 V Standby
Power Indicator LED what I’m looking. But I’m sure that’s the 13th
LED.
There’s something strange… When I look
the Technical specifications from your link and I compare it with the ones that
I found on intel.com, there’s 2 differences. (see 2nd attachment).
So, if your specifications are the good
one, it might be a CPU error. We already changed the processor before cause of
the same problem.
Thanks for your time
Best regards,
I have the EXACT SAME PROBLEM so frustrating!!! I just RMA my board and get the same issue.
DX79Si
16bit Corsair RAM
gtx580
Intel ssd 520series 240gb
1100 Watt PSU
intel I7 3960x
Tried every part expect a new CPU. multiple fresh windows installs. No1 can help me either
I just checked my spec Looks like that is the CPU error LED light. funny because I have stress tested my CPU at 100% for over an hour and my computer wont freeze but once I get into a video intense situation it will freeze.
