July 13, 2024 - I had a initially made my build with a MSI motherboard, everything went well for a while, and 2 weeks later it didn't restart, showing CPU red and DRAM orange LEDs. I tried everything I could think of, and ended up thinking it was a motherboard issue and sent it back to be replaced with an Asus ROG STRIX B650E-F motherboard. I turned the mobo on before inserting anything just to check if it worked, the RGB on the ROG logo light up properly.

Question - ASUS Motherboard Orange DRAM Light | Tom's Hardware Forum
June 22, 2023 - Unfortunately, I've tried all of these things already It's possible that I may have missed a bent CPU pin on the Motherboard, however, it's unlikely as we took it out a couple of days ago and gave it a pretty good look As for your BIOS Flashback question, I downloaded the update from the ASUS site, used their renaming tool, and inserted the (FAT32) USB into the 'BIOS' USB slot and proceeded to press the button There's no indicator that tells you that it's finished AFAIK, but the green light flashed for about 3-4 minutes before stopping, so I assume the update was successful I've also cleared the CMOS a number of times to no avail, it's always the constant orange DRAM light paired with no monitor display ๐Ÿ™

Worked for a solid day playing a few games until one evening I tried starting up AoE III: Asian Dynasties and the computer just shut down. Ever since then it hasn't turned on. When it's plugged into the PSU the motherboard light is orange and the mobo leds are glowing.
