So I built my pc the other day and just got it set up with all the drivers and everything but today I noticed that when it boots up there is a constant red light thats on for a few seconds behind where the GPU is inserted, it turns on for about 5 seconds then off for a few seconds and it doesn't go off the Motherboard is an MSI MAG B650 TOMAHAWK WIFI MOTHERBOARD. I noticed there was a bit of GPU sag on the motherboard so that is why I ordered the bracket and its coming today I just wanted to know if it was going off because the GPU is sagging slightly or is there a different reason because I couldn't find anything on the manual and I can't see what the light indicates behind the GPU. Also should I just take out the GPU for now and wait for the bracket to come later today too put it back in?

Error indicators should appear on this unit, check the top right above the 24-pin when power is applied. Do any lights illuminate? Booting may take up to a minute. Please remember, normal on/off behavior is acceptable unless it's irregular.

Looking for the exact spot on the board where the LED appears red.

Is it merely a light effect or can you observe the LED directly? If it's a glow, do you have an SSD in that top M.2 port since some devices include LEDs?
