So I'm doing my first build today. I installed everything according to the Linus Tech Tips guide, and during my pretest sometimes the motherboard (X570 Tuf Plus wifi) would stay on the white light after I turned it on. I would swap the display port to a different port of the graphics card (evga 3080) and it'd be fine. I put everything in the case, it got to the bios just fine, I plugged in a flash drive with a windows install in it, and installed windows. After the install was completed the screen went black and the motherboard started cycling through the yellow red and white lights. I turned off the computer and turned it back on and the mother board remained stuck on the white light. I tried swapping displayport slots a bunch of times, I tried removing the flash drive, I tried starting it without the displayport and then putting it back in on the next I restarted it, I reseated the graphics card, nothing. It remains stuck on the white light. I'm a first time builder and am freaking out a little bit, so any help and reassurance would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks!

Getting stuck on boot (the white LED) is usually a problem with detecting the boot media, so an issue with the storage. I'd try to unplug the SSD and HDD to see if that helps get the system POST, though this type of issue is very annoying to troubleshoot.

Thank you Ronathan.

The manual says green is boot and white is VGA, when it turns green it's booted. It's booted up and detected the SSD HDD and the Windows Boot Manager before so I'm having a hard time diagnosing the problem.
