Graphics Card and RAM issues

I built a PC for the first time last week. It's all up and running, and it works, to my relief. But something I've noticed is that when I turn my PC on, the motherboard's VGA LED light and the DRAM LED light blink red. I've done a quick google on this and it seems it's to do with a faulty/dead GPU (VGA), and improperly seated/faulty RAM (DRAM). The thing is, I get an excellent display with good graphics and the RAM is detected with no problem. Another conclusion is, I could have not plugged in certain cables right, as I was extremely cautious and didn't put much force into it, fearing I could break something if I did.

 

If anyone has any solutions to this, or things I could try to fix it, I don't even know if I have to because the PC is working fine.

Make sure it's not just the bootup sequence. Unless the LED's stays on everything is fine. Also check cables is all the way in. Just push em in. Most of them will click when in.

Thanks. They just blink once or twice while the PC is turning on. As soon as the display comes on, there's no issues.
