No POST error (trapped on ez dbg VGA red LED)
Yesterday I and my friends assembled a PC, but it wouldn’t boot properly due to the debug LED stuck on VGA. The internal cooler LEDs flash briefly before shutting off for about a minute and then restarting. Here are the details:
- **GPU:** Gigabyte z590 gaming, Intel Core i5 11600KF
- **CPU:** Not specified
- **GPU Driver:** GeForce GTS 8800 512 (card from a friend)
- **Power Supply:** DeepCool DQ850-M-V2L 850W
- **Storage:** Toshiba X300 4TB performance SSD, WD_BLACK SN850 500GB
- **Monitor:** Acer Nitro XV272UPbmiiprzx (HDMI output only, no signal detected)
We followed all the troubleshooting steps from the "no POST" guide, tried using another machine, and checked BIOS compatibility. It seems the graphics card might be outdated or faulty, though PCIe compatibility is likely intact. Other parts appear fine and undamaged.
My friend will test it at his place. The monitor issue could relate to how we connected it—using DVI to DVI and a specific adapter. The specs on the adapter don’t match the monitor’s requirements clearly.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
It seems the other device didn't share the same GPU details, which might explain the issue.
