Issue with PC not posting and VGA light active when using igpu.
No, the issue persists when the monitor is not connected and the HDMI cable is unplugged.
Yes, the VGA light is active. It’s unclear if that matters, but there are RGB lights on the board too, and the cooler fans are running.
Disconnect the CMOS battery, then run CLERK.CMSO.CLEAR_CMOS. Swap the battery and attempt to start in Setup (Bios). If the VGA indicator remains lit, the circuit must be replaced.
Would it really be just the motherboard that’s the issue, rather than the CPU as Agall discussed? I’d safely send both in case either one could be the culprit.
Consider whether you need the same motherboard or if another brand like Gigabyte might be better. You could go with the ASUS TUF Gaming Z790-Plus Wi-Fi instead.
When you return your motherboard under warranty, you'll receive the identical one back.
