The gpu power cables are properly inserted in both the gpu and psu, the gpu is properly seated on the motherboard as well

red spade
#

Ignore it... every thing is fine, it is just a feature of your mobo...

grave thistle
#

ye but google and common sense says that a debug light that stays on means somethings wrong

#

Highly doubt its a bug or something, the light doesnt go on unless something triggers it to do so

red spade
#

It is just saying that the video card is properly connected and running, if it was blinking then id worry!!!

grave thistle
#

and since its off now, it means its not connected properly? doesnt make sense

red spade
#

Hm, I must not be understanding what he is asking then?

#

Well, open your mobo manual and look up what it means...

grave thistle
#

It means there is an issue with the gpu

#

the gpu has no issues in use and thats why im confused

#

Doesnt crash under heavy load, voltages, clock speeds etc etc are normal

#

The light randomly turns on during random use cases and wont turn off until reboot

#

has done so when idle, gaming and light use completely randomly

#

No graphical glitches or artifacts

#

All the parts are 1 month old

red spade
#

Well I feel it is just fine then if nothing is actually going wrong then...

grave thistle
#

There has to be something wrong that im not able to figure out, a motherboars debug light that turns on during use is not normal under any circumstances, unless its a extremely rare case of a faulty debug led itself

red spade
#

Look in your mobo manual to see what it could mean...

#

And are you sure it is an issue with the gpu or is it the mobo is a lemon?

All I know is I only trust one mobo brand, AsRock my friend...

grave thistle
#

lmao

#

let me correct, owned by same company

red spade
#

Nope, they split along time ago and are now separate companies

grave thistle
#

yeah was just googling that my bad

red spade
#

Ok, thats fine, dropped that already on my end

#

AsRock didn't like what ASUS was doing and I guess some one invested to own the rights, I think, been a while

#

My AsRock mobo has a debug lcd screen built onto the board that gives you a code which can be looked up in the manual, I love it!!!

It has turned on 3 times during use so far, but usually it turns on and stays on when booting up the pc

civic vector
#

so it doesnt boot at all? or it randomly doesnt boot?

grave thistle
#

i usually have to boot up my pc twice to not have the light be on at all time

#

it boots every time with no issues

#

with the light staying on, has no effect on boot process or the time it takes to boot

#

yes other guy already clarified that

civic vector
grave thistle
#

that is like one in a million chance :D but im starting to believe that too

#

asus should add 2nd debug light row for debugging the debug lights

civic vector
#

you said theres no issue with booting, meaning the debug (showing something wrong) is clearly incorrect

well the first time i noticed the light was 2 weeks ago but i ignored it because i didnt know it was a debug light

#

Its just a power LED i'm pretty sure

grave thistle
#

components being around 35 days old at this point with no hardware changes being made during that time

soft venture
#

Its meant to serve as that

You can change it in BIOS > Advanced settings > Q-LED

#

If you have a little display on your board you can set it to display your CPU temperature too

#

or light the CPU light red if the CPU is above 90c

#

You can also just set "post-boot disabled" or something

#

I made mine check my CPU temperature but i'm on Ryzen and I have a little display on mine

#

something like this

#

Disabled after post

#

Or put a piece of black tape over it

civic vector

thats not a solution, imo
