Blue power indicator stays on but system fails to start.
Occasionally the system hesitates before starting, displaying a steady blue glow while the red light stays off. It seems like a green power indicator and amber/orange signals for the hard drive might be active in other situations. I’m curious about possible BIOS settings or fixes that could help, especially if UEFI boot options differ from the default legacy setup, particularly with older DDR5 motherboards.
Let’s break down the situation: the slow POST on your DDR5 board might mean different things—ranging from memory tuning challenges to deeper hardware or software problems. I’ll outline what’s new and what remains consistent in your PC specs. Also, confirm if you performed a clean Windows reinstall before upgrading the CPU.
