Problem with booting the ASUS ROG STRIX X470-I motherboard
While troubleshooting, I encountered an orange indicator on the motherboard during startup, which isn't mentioned in the guide. My tech-savvy friend suggested it might be a boot problem and recommended checking forums. I verified the CPU and DRAM, found nothing amiss, and confirmed all pins appear intact. It seems his advice was correct.
The orange light indicates the board is powered... Expect a white light to show the issue. Confirm you're activating the PC properly. The LEDs display the specific problem nearby.
It seems the orange color might represent both red and yellow, pointing to a RAM and CPU problem. Ensure the CPU is properly seated and check the RAM placement. Restart the BIOS to test, then remove the RAM individually to see if the system starts without any components. Refer to the motherboard manual for detailed steps.
Are you certain the power button was connected properly to the motherboard? Could you provide a photo of the light you mentioned? The orange LED at the bottom of the DRAM slots (close to the GPU slot) indicates power is being received. The white error LEDs are located at the top of the DRAM slots. I have the same board, specifically the X370 version.
