MOBO Red / Green / White light

This is my first PC build, and it’s been working good for around a year and a half now. Just recently when turning on my computer, it starts up for a few seconds then shuts off. Seconds later the system turns back on and a series of lights glow on the motherboard from red, orange, white then green. This will always opt me to start the bios screen then exit from there. (Preciously never did that.) Even more recently the computer has taken an unusual amount of time to start bios, and has even shut off for a few seconds during the bios screen and turned on again. I am not sure what the issue is and I have misplaced my MOBO manual to find out..

Those are probably debug light codes.  The computer may be trying to tell you something is wrong.  You need to decode them to find out what they say.  They differ from motherboard to motherboard.  Your motherboard manual may have a way to tell what they mean.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

Thanks for this. I was able to find out what each corresponding light means but I still don’t quite understand my situation. The lights when starting up my system flash every single warning indicator, but after a few seconds the computer starts regularly. Sometimes it will even restart and do the process over until it runs. I haven’t tinkered with the computer at all in quite a while so I don’t think any cables are loose or something... weird.
