My Motherboard Suddenly has a White LED Turned on

My motherboard suddenly turned on a white LED that was never on before(I usually keep all LEDs off at night, so I was noticed the white LED today). I tried googling it, but they all say it's a graphics card issue even though both my graphics card and display work just fine. I did install chipset drivers today if that's an issue? Or my virtual display driver(I've had this installed or a while with no issues)?

Please provide the motherboard model and maybe a picture of the LED, or at least info about it's placement on the motherboard.

That LED being white does signify a GPU issue, but that doesn't mean that it actually an issue. It very well could be that the BIOS isn't detecting a GPU as you're booting so it boots in headless mode, but Windows detects the card and it works just fine. It's not really an issue unless you need to get to the BIOS and it doesn't let you, in which case you should do a BIOS update and that would hopefully fix it. 

 

Personally, I just wouldn't care if the system is working as intended.

Maybe list your PC specs. Its not driver related as its happening on boot. It could be if you updated gpu firmware or motherboard BIOS.
