Light on the motherboard flickers during startup
Light on the motherboard flickers during startup
The CPU indicator has begun activating during startup and while intensive tasks, then shutting off briefly after a short pause. When it turns back on, the system pauses for 1-2 seconds before responding again. Task manager shows no abnormal activity, and overall performance remains stable. The issue might relate to background processes or software conflicts. Considering a clean Windows installation could help if suspicious programs are present. The problem seems linked to the motherboard model ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS, with the light appearing in the designated zone.
Have you already reinitialized the BIOS? It would be wise to update it to the most recent release.
