Gigabyte Z490 VGA LED stays on after boot

[kanaron]

Hello

 

I have strange and anoying problem with my motherboard Gigabyte Z490 Gaming X. 

When I pluged HDMI cable into my GTX 1050 to first HDMI port everything worked correctly. But when I plugged it into other ports then I always got 5 beeps, red VGA LED stayed on, PC booted up correctly and I had screen output. So everything was great except 5 beeps and that VGA LED that was always on. No big deal, I just kept HDMI cable plugged into first port.

But later I changed GPU to RTX 3070. I am still plugging HDMI cable to first port. Everything was ok for most of the time. Very rarely I got 5 beeps and VGA LED and I had screen output but I just restarted PC and everything got back to normal. Until few days ago I bought anti sag stand just in case. There was a bit of sag. Long story short: it has RGB. RGB Fusion to control RGB can't handle wave effect properly. I had to do a lot of restarts. I did about 10 restarts

After one restart I got 5 beeps and VGA LED. After another restart again 5 beeps and VGA LED. Now almost every time I have 5 beeps and VGA LED

PC is working ok, I have screen output, PC boots up normally, everything is great but that 5 beeps and VGA LED is just very anoying. Also Im a bit concern if that could escalate in future. My mobo was repleaced once as first one had PCIE x16 slot that doesn't worked at all from factory

Ok

What is the form factor of your motherboard? If you have other x16 slots, try slotting it into that instead. If the problem persists, you may want to RMA your GPU.

ATX. Only one x16 slot.

GPU is ok for sure.

GTX 1050 was working great in previous build. In this build GTX 1050 was behaving same as RTX 3070 is behaving now (no problems at all just anoying VGA LED and 5 beeps). I rebuilded previous PC and GTX 1050 is still working great right now. I also had RTX 3070 in previous build for one day and also worked great

Both GPUs are sometimes giving anoying VGA LED and 5 beeps in this build and both are working great in previous build. Also I think bad GPU would give some bad symptoms like artifacts or no screen output but I dont have any screen related issues at all

 

Maybe RMA MOBO if possible. As I said I did RMA it once already and got it repleaced. Maybe this time they would refund it
