Hi, new pc components. I assembled the system with an x570 chipset and a 3800X motherboard. When powering it on, I didn’t see any response. A yellow flash appears for a second, followed by red for another second, then white for a second before repeating. The PC functioned normally for several months until suddenly it stopped booting one morning. The manual indicates the yellow light represents RAM, red stands for CPU, and white signals VGA. I tried: resetting CMOS, swapping out the GPU, re-seating the heatsink and CPU, removing the RAM and checking if the blinking pattern remained stuck on yellow. After reseating RAM, the cycle returned to normal yellow-red-white looping. I verified all motherboard connections, reconnected the full 24-pin power board and the 8-pin CPU connector. There’s an extra pin missing—my system was told it only needed eight pins. Still no response. Any suggestions?

My first thing to check would be psu, maybe a rail has gone down, no cpu power or GPU power. U can get testers online, also try another hdmi or dp on gpu as I've had 1 connector die on me before and drove me nuts.

I experienced the same issue for roughly a day. Did you coincidentally upgrade your BIOS? It happened when I did the same, and it resolved itself. To fix it, I unplugged the power supply for 10 minutes, then pressed the power button to discharge everything. I also shorted the CMOS pins before reconnecting everything. After a few loops, the screen turned on again, allowing me to re-enter the BIOS. Asus released a new version about a week ago that fixed the problem.
