Hi all,
Since I built this rig a few days ago it hasn't been right from the getgo.
When I first booted the pc, everything turned on as per usual then my monitors flickered and black screen.
Noticed the motherboard showed a red VGA light on the debug section.
Knowing 100% it can't be my gpu since I literally just used it in my previous rig, I double checked everything and still the same issue.
After a number of cmos clears I've managed to get into the bios.
Once I've made any settings whether it be a time change of fan settings or even hard drive boot settings, as soon as I select save and exit. I get the same old blank screen + vga light.
Once again I tested the gpu in my other rig and works perfect.
Again I've managed to get into bios and even reflashed it with no luck.
Now after a few more hits and misses with the system boot issues, I've managed to install windows and everything works great once I'm in there. Even had a good solid gaming session.
Now thinking my problems were done, I've gone into bios to change boot/fan settings.
Back to square one now, Once I've saved and exited I'm getting that weird vga led issue.
Sorry for the long post but if anyone else is experiencing this or knows how to fix it Please let me know.
Will be returning the board tomorrow for a refund.
