Vga dbug light on startup

[Amduzrrr]

My rig will always start up from shut down with a vga dbug light for some reason. It doesn’t affect stability and the gpu runs as it should. The light will go away after a restart but always comes back after a shutdown. Iv cleared the cmos and the bios is up to date. Iv also tried other gpu’s and I still get the dbug light.

 

I have a gigabyte b850 aorus with a Ryzen 7 7800x3d cpu, a 9070 xt gpu, with g.skill trident z5 6000 cl30 ram, Samsung evo plus m.2, Asus prime 850w psu.

 

has anyone els had this issue or have any advice on troubleshooting this? Should I even be worried if the system is stable and preforming as it should?

i dont have much experience with amd but i had a similar problem with an intel system a couple of years ago and it turned out to be dirty gold fingers on gpu and dirty pcie socket, also i had another similar problem with another intel system before that and it turned out to be the pcie fsb was too high for gpu, i downclocked the fsb from 1oomhz to as low as 42 mhz and this fixed the problem, but in the second case, i had stability issues too

Welcome to the forums!
It could be that the cpu has just barely the wrong mounting pressure. Have you tried reseating and remounting it?

Thanks for the input, im going to look a little deeper into component compatibility of the mb

I haven’t but I’ll definitely give that a try

Not having QVL RAM on the mobo isn't gonna mess with the ethernet.
Honestly, at this point I'd just grab a NIC and move on. Happened to my first server and gaming rig when the power company was doing some work on the lines. Also fried my boot drive on the gaming rig.
