This is a hardware issue. Which version of dfsee are you running and how
did you boot it? If you are running from the FreeDOS bootable CD, you are
running pretty close to the hardware, so there's not much to fail other
than hardware.

Assuming that the LED is driven by the power supply, this is probably
something in the PS logic trying to tell you something. It could also be
something the MB hardware is doing to report a problem with the PS
voltages.
