Motherboard white light

[kyazerking]

Hi everyone,

I've recently had to replace my rtx 3080ti after having it for a month of using it as it burnt out. When playing No Mans sky it had the white light turn on the motherboard I reset the pc and it didn't turn on again. Now every time I play No mans sky the light comes on and it'll say No signal but works fine with other games. 

 

New psu and gpu. Checked ram and all cables.

 

Specs: 

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900F CPU @ 2.80GHz   2.81 GHz
Installed:   RAM    32.0 GB
System type:    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Nvidia Geforce Rtx 3080ti OC 12gb

Windows 11 Home

BaseBoard Product    ROG STRIX B460-F GAMING

The white light means there is a VGA error according to user manual. Typically this will be an issue with your graphics card. What size power supply do you have and how do you have your graphics card plugged into it?

Is it a VA panel? Reason why I ask is because I experience weird stuff with my samsung VA gaming monitor and when using multiple displays it works best when not set as primary display. I simply use one of the other ports.

Dosen't say alot. Could it be U8G? If yes then its a VA panel. Do you use your own cable or was it included?

Alright, could be VA panel then. It's just weird sometimes, and very slow to start up. If it works from auto source, you might want to set it to the specific HDMI port. Also try the first port on your GPU if you got more than one, the one most to the right, if the card is mounted horizontally

That's actually how I've got it setup maybe I'll try a different port and see just incase. Someone also suggested to me too power up tv first then PC.

Try to shutdown PC. Turn off PSU. Remove HDMI from GPU. Shutdown TV with no PSU power. 

Turn on TV and select source. Attatch hdmi to GPU, turn on PSU, turn on PC.

I might give that a go if this crashes again. At the moment i've removed three fans from my PC and it seems to be getting alot better temps and hasn't shut down as of yet.

Have you tried using a different cable to your monitor? I had something similar happen with 2 different computers. One was a bad riser cable (looks like your GPU is plugged straight into the motherboard) and the other was a bad HDMI cable.
