Began occurring lately whenever I turned off my PSU; those two lights plus webcam started flashing and only stopped when I powered them back on. Running fine otherwise. Right now they’ve been blinking nonstop for 20 minutes without the PSU connected. I’m not sure the motherboard capacitors can handle that much power, but since it’s completely disconnected from the PSU, I don’t know what to expect.

It seems you probably have a poorly constructed external device with its own power supply, causing it to feed electricity back into a port.

It seems the USB connection is probably the issue—it’s always powered and can reverse direction into other parts instead of just going one way. The CM V unit is solid hardware and power supply, but it can’t handle this without being connected to something else.

I got it after you all helped. Mark Zuckerberg just made a terrible product, and the issue with my Quest 2 coming online was the problem.
