Hey there, I'm facing some PC issues lately. When trying to boot, the video output isn't working, and I think the GPU is the problem. I've noticed the LED indicators have specific colors—DRAM turns orange, CPU red, and VGA stays lit. According to ASUS' info, those colors suggest issues, but I'm curious if the red CPU light also signals a problem. Are these color codes meant to show component status, or is there another meaning? Thanks in advance!

When the light doesn't remain on for the CPU, it indicates no hardware problem (it changes color briefly during operation).

This happens when I start up. The same routine repeats, but it moves the white VGA indicator, changes to green, and then the system boots.
