CPU and VGA leds on for 3 seconds then off on B450 MoBo

[IndioBravo]

Hello dear community,

 

When I turn on my PC, I can notice that in the motherboard the red CPU led turns on for 3 seconds then turns off. Immediately after, the red VGA led turns on for the same 3 seconds then turns off. Afterwards they remain off and the computer works just fine for the rest of its use time.

 

I just recently upgraded my sistem to:

 

Ryzen 5 2600x

Crosair Vengenace 8x2 GB

MSI Gaming Plus B450

Zotac GTX 1060 6GB

Hyper 212 cooler master CPU cooler

Samsung EVO 500gb

Kingston SSD now 128gb

WD blue 3TB

Cooler Master MasteBox Lite 5

 

I monitor temperatures with MSI Afterburner:

 

Idle

GPU: 35-40c

CPU: 35-42c

 

Load (gaming)

GPU: 55-69c

CPU: 60-70c

 

 

 

Background:

 

I just recently reset windows because previously I had Intel and read that a new system is better if you change to AMD. Before I did recet windows: randomly, sometimes more frequently, the screen would suddenly freeze for aprox. 5 seconds then unfreeze to normality. Upon reseting windows, this problem is now gone.

 

PD: Installing the Hyper 212 was horrible and I did apply pressure, but as far as I know it was normal pressure for a CPU.

 

 

Thanks for the help!

the warning lights during boot are normal, only if they stay on and the boot fails do you have a problem.

It is MSI's 'EZ Debug' feature.

If it is enabled in the BIOS (should be on the default), during POST, it will check for any CPU / RAM / VGA / HDD errors.

There should be an option in the BIOS to skip this step.

Thanks! Very informative.

 

Is it recommended to skip that step?

if you know the system is stable, there is no need to have it keep checking on every boot-up.

I usually turn it off once my system has been running stable for a few days/weeks, or when I've settled on a stable overclock.

Turn it back on again when you are upgrading the system, overclocking, troubleshooting, etc.

Excelent! Thanks for the advice!
