Facing a serious problme of Red light on motherboard moving from CPU to VGA to BOOT.

 

Now i am seriously thinking is the problem is with PSU.

Is there anyone who might have better diagnosis of the problem.

Video of the problem is in the reddit post.

if it was the psu that light wouldn't even turn on, it would just immediately shut down

Have you done a BIOS update ? Also When you use the M.2 the SATA will be disabled

Yes i did, with the USB everything plugged out except the power cables for the motherboard and CPU

Before the update its was just CPU red light

after the update it is VGA red light and after that BOOT red light

If you have got a different CPU supported for the motherboard, try that

THis is all new build. I have none to try it out

If it lets you load UEFI, double check you have the latest BIOS

I have no POST. and that makes it even worse.

It may sound stupid but the Windows isnt installed yet. might that be the problem?

You cant install windows without getting into the BIOS, but in some cases you may be able to do so by plugging a Windows USB installer inside the motherboard bit unless you get a POST, i doubt it will work

Try running with one stick of RAM and if you have got integrated graphics, plug the GPU out. If that works, try to reinstall the BIOS and load windows. Then put the second tick of RAM and the GPU

Dude, IT WORKED..... I still have no idea where the problem was but IT WORKED. Thanks a lot man. you have no idea how much happy u made me. Windows installed, its up and running. tried shutting it down couple of times and everything was fine

I am on paradise today ;D

Once again thanks a lot dude

@Khukuri At least you have got it working. I think the problem is the RAM stick. Try inserting and see if it works. If it doesn't there is something wrong with your motherboard or BIOS
