I assembled my first PC last month, everything functioned properly until now. It powers on normally except for the monitor or keyboard, and I notice a bright yellow/orange DRAM LED on the motherboard. After some checks and searching, I found articles about orange DRAM light issues on Asus boards. Someone suggested replacing the front USB panel with another, so I removed the case's USB 3 cable (only one socket available) and it worked. Running bench tests confirmed it’s fine. I’m unsure what else might be wrong, since I don’t use those ports. Thanks ahead for any help.

It might relate to a connection problem. You could test different USB3 cables to determine if the issue persists.

Sure! It seems the issue might be with the cable or the front USB port instead of the motherboard itself.

This situation isn't certain without additional testing. It seems the issue likely relates to the chassis USB3 connection, possibly due to a faulty cable. I've encountered similar problems with questionable USB cables before.
