What should a debug LED display normally?

By normally, I mean completing a boot and loading into windows.

 

I ask because after months of struggling with instability of various types, I decided to replace the motherboard. However that mobo was DOA, so I put back in my previous. Instability is better than nothing.

 

Well I got into windows and was then analyzing my cable management when I realized the LED was completely off. This confuses me because for the last year, it has ALWAYS had a code on it. AA, if I remember correctly, would always be displayed. I figured it just leaves the last code displayed. But now I am thinking maybe it is supposed to go off and somehow, reseating 100% of everything may have fixed the issue????

 

 

Such a question, probably very obvious to most, is still difficult to Google apparently. So I am here to embarrass myself in order to be probably educated on the subject.

 

 

Side note, I need an emote such as 'egg on face' for this one, I think.

Not to put more egg on your face, but we need to know which motherboard you have.

Depends. Each manufacturer uses different debug codes. Check your manual. Also debug codes useful for no boot scenario, not that useful after boot sequence is complete. If you were to explain your stability issues maybe we could help.

My MSI Gaming 7 z97a board shows my CPUtemp after the bios boot codes finish up.

I see them rise and fall and are in same values as my CPU package temp while sussing apps.

 

I never set this up, it just did it from the start.

 

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

I've posted about them before.

 

 

 

That should cover most of it. :(

Does anyone know if this is a feature that can be activated for other boards like my Asus x370??? I'd love that.

Well my CH7 has displayed different things.  It used to display 24 and that code would change if I opened Ryzen Master.  Then, after BIOS updates, it displayed AA.  After more BIOS updates -- what it displays now is . . . . still AA.  

 

I'd go check out:

 

https://www.overclock.net/forum/11-amd-motherboards/1624603-rog-crosshair-vi-overclocking-thread.html

 

and pose your question to them to see what their boards say.

Thank you. That is what I have now done.

Also, my board had been saying AA most of the time as well. Although I think it may have said something different several months ago. But either way, turning completely off now is weird...

Turns out the problem wasn't solved. So it was just off in settings. Still crashing and other shit...
