So I tried to turn on my computer today and it would not power on. The fans wont spin either. 
 
When I look at the motherboard, I see is a solid yellow led near the power and rest button. I checked the manual and there is nothing there about yellow leds.

    thanks! Not sure what it was, but I unplugged my 24 pin power and plugged it back. Maybe it was just a lose connection because now it is working. 
     
    Thanks for the help though!

    Loose connections are the worst in my field. I'll see an error code on a plasma cutter display or a digital wire feeder that's not in the book and tech support has never seen it either. re-seat everything and it goes away.

    That is me in the picture, anyone else ever pet a live Lion?

    For future reference, the yellow light is used to indicate that RAM is getting power.  Glad you got it all fixed though.

    This is happened to me before. Sometimes it is difficult to tell if the 24 pin connector actually latches into position correctly.

    So that's what the yellow led means, power is going to the Dimms, now all I need to know is what the White and Red leds mean, this should be in the manual..
     
    And thanks EVGATech_Erik for that bit of info.
