r/ASUS on Reddit: Asus QLED lights - Troubleshooting

November 14, 2023 -

I have No CPU, No memory & No GPU installed.

I have power to ATX_PWR & ATX_12V_1&2

Am I correct in assuming that if I short the PWR_BTN then one of the QLED lights would illuminate and therefore the issue is a dead motherboard. (I have multiple PSU's and still get no lights)

My issue is with a brand new ASUS B760M-PLUS but are these assumptions correct with all new ASUS motherboards ?

OK, for anyone else thinking their motherboard might be dead - troubleshooting order :- With No CPU, No Memory, No GPU - NO QLED illumniate BUT power LED does Add a CPU and CPU light illumniates Add memory and the CPU & DRAM lights illuminate Add GPU and the CPU, DRAM & GPU lights illumniate This is NOT as stated in the User Guide - it says the CPU lights if no CPU is fitted - it does not (at least for B760M-PLUS), however, the power LED does light (so make sure you wire the front panel and not just short the PWR switch when testing) My Motherboard was dead - no power LED light when plugged in with nothing fitted - replaced immediately and now all is well

I am upgrading my PC from Z390 to Z790 and bought brand new ASUS Z790-H , I9-13900K, and DDR5 RAM.

After I plugged in all the stuff, there is black screen but no QLED turned on on my mobo. I tried to unplug everything with only necessary things left, the mobo power cable, CPU power cable, CPU, one DDR5 ram and a front panel cable. The problem is still not resolved.

most new boards come with some type of lights on them. if everything is completely dark, I say you have a power issue. start from wall socket to PSU, PSU on? connections into the PSU solid and correct? Recheck the connections on the mobo, while powered off, make sure your not one off or landed wrong. Did you plug in the small ATX power in the upper rear of the Mobo.

r/buildapc on Reddit: Asus Q-LED Diagnostics/Troubleshooting Help

February 24, 2026 -

I've built a new PC using an ASUS Z890 AYW Gaming WiFi W motherboard and 265K CPU (Microcenter bundle). No other components (no storage installed yet and no graphics card since I'm planning to use the iGPU). A monitor is connected using the motherboard's DisplayPort.

After putting everything together and turning it on, the fans come on and the Q-LEDs show this sequence:

CPU (red) turns on for a second and then off
DRAM (yellow) turns on for a second and then off

That's it. The VGA LED (white) and boot combination (yellow/green) never turn on. The monitor doesn't detect a video signal. Anyone know what that could mean?

I have so far reseated the power connectors for motherboard and CPU, and cleared the CMOS RAM using a jumper. I inspected the CPU socket before I installation and it looked OK.

Update in case someone finds this post later: it was the memory. I used a DDR5 memory kit from Teamgroup, which ran fine in the previous AMD-based system. But it's apparently not compatible with Z890 boards. I swapped it for a Crucial kit from another computer and now it runs fine (and so does the other computer with the Teamgroup kit).

Little update: I removed the CPU again, inspected the slot and CPU contacts with a magnifier (both looking fine), and reinstalled the CPU. Still doesn't post. I even installed an old graphics card to see if it's some kind of issue with the iGPU/motherboard DisplayPort, but no dice. I also checked with another PC with Asus motherboard (though an AMD chipset) to see what the normal LED sequence is: it's red/yellow/red/white, then green once it starts to boot. So I don't get to the second red on the Z890 board, which seems to indicate some kind of issue with the CPU. But of course it could also be the motherboard. Stupid situation. First time in 20+ years that I've been building my own PCs that I couldn't get it to post. I don't really feel like dealing with Microcenter's customer service. 😩

Hello everyone! My PC just now wont boot up, and is seemingly stuck on the boot led as my power button flashes on and off every 4-5 seconds. Everything seems to be on inside my pc, and peripherals turn on just like normal, but the display shows no signal. My GPU seems to be on, but as the video shows the fans are not spinning. I’ve tried reseating RAM, cmos and gpu, but with no luck. Dont know if this is helpful, but power button led stays fully on when ram is removed

The flashing power led is either the CPU or Memory problem. Try alternative memory first. Possible CPU failure there has been rumors of occasional failures.

Troubleshoot ASUS motherboard with Q-LED indicators

December 15, 2023 - If the red LED is flashing on the motherboard, it means that there is an issue with the hardware the LED is associated with. The method to reset CMOS is the same for all desktop computers and laptops, including the ASUS PC. Removing the CMOS battery also resets or clears the CMOS. Open your computer case and remove the CMOS battery. Wait for 1 minute and reinstall the battery. Read next: MSI monitor not turning on or displaying anything.

Hey everyone. I have an Asus X670E logic board. when I try and power on I get no power. the RGB on my RAM lights up and the power switch on the board lights up so does the red led on my 4090. the PSU fan does not turn on at all. I tried power on with nothing plugged in and the same thing. I had a spare 450w PSU that should power at least the board and CPU fan but same thing.

I am assuming it is a dead board but I'm not sure.
