Hey guys I know this is a long shot but maybe someone could help me out I have tried googling but I can't figure out exactly what's going on.
So, a few months ago my PSU died and i replaced it with another one. Ever since then what happens after i shut down my computer and turn off the switch on the back of my PSU is that the LED light turns on like once in every X seconds which would indicate to me that there is some sort of residual electricity charge or something on my motherboard. I am unsure if that is the case and how I should go about fixing it, I have replaced all the rams and even the battery chip but the problem persists. Recently my old GPU finally died (8800gt) and my concern now is that this "blinking-LED" issue could damage my components so I'm afraid to order a new 150-200$ GPU just to have it be susceptible to damage by a charged motherboard. Keep in mind that having a charged motherboard is what i suspect is occurring but I have little to no understanding on this issue and would appreciate any kind of help. Also keep in mind that everything has been working fine ever since i replaced my PSU, I just ignored the blinking-LED issue and I doubt it ruined my GPU since it was pretty old and used up anyways.
tldr: My motherboard LED blinks when all power is off, how do I check if it's safe to install new hardware on this computer?
What's the motherboard ?

I looked through the manual it's literally just a light that shows its on standby.

Seeing as you're determined to ruin your PC, why don't you try opening it and taking the CMOS battery out every time you turn it off?
