Red lights blinking

I never had this problem since 2019, and not since I replaced by old 2070 Super with my ROG Strix 3060Ti early last month.

 

Played a bit of Age of Empires II: DE and the red light indicators by the connectors started blinking.

 

What's that suppused to mean? How can I fix this?

What red lights? What model 3060 ti is this? 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

The red lights by the connectors. ROG Strix brand. 

They shouldn't be red at all, steady or blinking. They should be white. Red indicates a power delivery problem, at least if it's like previous gen Strix cards.

Can this be fixed or prevented?

What is your power supply? Have you verified the PCIe power connectors are securely in place?

ROG Strix 850W. When I brought a new case last year, I made sure the connectors were securely, which it is. 

You said you changed cards last month?

Just now, Master PC said:

The case was replaced last summer, and the GPU was just replaced a month ago.

 

Right. So the last time the power connectors for the GPU would have been put in place was a month ago. Checking last year is irrelevant.
