Diagnostic LEDs lighting up on startup the going away

neo_29 · January 20

Just built myself a new pc and everything looks fine just that every time I start it the dram led goes orange, then the cpu led goes red, then the vga goes white and it ends with the boot led going green. Then no leds light up anymore does anybody know how this can be fixed or if its even a problem?

Thanks in advance

It's not a problem. If the LEDs remain lit, then there's a problem with the particular item that's lit, giving you a good idea of where to start troubleshooting.

The LEDs cycle through to tell you the system is doing a self-test on memory, CPU, and then GPU to make sure all of those are detected and working correctly, before proceeding to boot into the OS.
