It was during a game session when the system stopped working. The RAM signals were active but other components like the CPU cooler and fans weren’t responding. The motherboard displayed an orange light on it, which is normal for my Asus model. There was no flashing or warning. My specs are 3080ti, Asus B550M, with Wi-Fi and a 5900X processor. It’s not a brand-new build, and I’ve been using it for some time. I overclocked it using Ryzen Master in game mode.

The original configuration would likely draw around 550W to 650W continuously, excluding sudden spikes. I can confidently say this rig could experience shutdowns due to overcurrent protection during intense gaming sessions with a power supply under 850W. The orange indicator on the motherboard lights points to DRAM, CPU, VGA, or BOOT status. Updated: September 20, 2022 by An0maly_76 Added more details

Orange LED indicates a power problem. Someone should test your PSU. If that doesn’t resolve it, remove the BIOS battery for a few minutes and reinsert it. Ensure the system restarts normally. If the issue persists, it might need reprogramming. With luck, it could fix itself. My electricity provider is unreliable, and a faulty energy cycle entered my home. The PC would shut down without knowing how to recover.

Orange was in charge; power problems were the main concern. It seems we identified the issue right away. And @HiddenHydra, when sharing specs, make sure to mention the exact hardware name and model. It’s similar to telling someone to fix their car—if you only say it’s a red Toyota, it doesn’t give enough detail for the right parts.

I think this is one very good reason for everyone to have a UPS. They're not just for power failures, many can serve as line conditioners as well.
