B560M VGA red illumination active while both GPU and iGPU are operational
I have an Aorus B560M Elite, an i5 11400 and a RTX 3060. My system ran fine until I restarted it. After rebooting, it still worked but no video appeared on either GPU and the motherboard VGA light stayed on. I tried updating the BIOS, but it didn’t help and I couldn’t locate a solution.
Connect the monitor to one of the motherboard's ports. This should activate the integrated graphics. Do you see an image now? A dedicated GPU is usually needed for the iGPU to work properly. If the VGA indicator is lit, the 3060 might have stopped working suddenly.
I attempted to connect via the motherboard port with and without the 3060, but the VGA indicator remains lit and no video appears.
Your GPU seems faulty, possibly because the iGPU isn't enabled in BIOS. Would it help if you got a GPU from someone else or used an older one for testing?
