Should you be concerned about the red light on the mobile?
after updating the intel drivers and restarting my computer, it still couldn't connect to the internet. i performed another restart and noticed a red light on the motherboard indicating a cpu issue (according to google). this light would appear for about one second during boot, which is normal, but it didn’t disappear. when i turned off the pc completely, disconnected the power supply, and tried to drain all power by pressing the power button first time, but i didn’t do that. later i flashed the bios, though i’m unsure why it didn’t flash properly. after restarting the psu again and pressing power bios flash for a second time, the pc booted normally. i recently installed the latest bios firmware updates. should i be concerned? was there a minor error that resolved itself when the pc was powered off?
i built my pc about a year and two months ago, and the psu is around the same age. the bios version i had was 7E07vA5, available on the msi website.
When sharing a troubleshooting thread, it's standard to provide complete system details. Please format your specs as follows:
CPU:

Include the PSU age along with its make and model. Also, note the current BIOS version for your motherboard.
After installing the latest BIOS updates, did you reset the CMOS once you confirmed the flash was successful?
I refresh my post and attached the component picker list, bios version, PSU age, and confirmed I didn't remove the CMOS battery.
Hello, I recently assembled a new computer this weekend and immediately tried to install Windows from a USB drive. However, I encountered a blue screen with a warning that my device needed repair. I repeated the process several times, but the issue persisted. I suspected an outdated BIOS might be the cause, so I downloaded a BIOS update for the USB and proceeded to update the BIOS. After about 5 to 10 minutes, the screen went black, and I turned the computer off and back on without success. Later, whenever I restarted, the VGA light would flash a solid red color on the motherboard. I attempted to clear CMOS, removed parts, took out the GPU, and even connected the HDMI directly to the motherboard, but the VGA light remained red. Additionally, the motherboard wouldn’t power any peripherals like the keyboard or mouse through its USB ports, though it did power the USB drive. I’ve tried various HDMI and DisplayPort cables into the GPU and connected them to the motherboard, but nothing worked. The system functioned normally otherwise, yet it couldn’t pass the VGA light during POST. I’m considering that I might have installed the wrong BIOS or possibly interrupted the update process. I’m thinking about flashing the BIOS using a USB drive or using an online BIOS reprogrammer to fix this issue. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. The specifications are: i9-9900K, ASUS RTX 4070, Gigabyte Aorus Z390 Elite, Corsair Vengeance LX 32GB (2x16), MSI Mag 240R, Corsair CX750M, NZXT H510.
