motherboard white vga indicator is acting oddly. The PC functions normally, and the display appears to work, but the light keeps blinking without turning off. Restarting stops it, then it turns back on after 24 hours. This behavior repeats a couple of times. Someone with a similar setup on another motherboard shared the issue. They’re unsure why this is happening. A video linked shows the same problem on their board. The question is about the cause and a simple fix.

If it functions, don't interfere and jeopardize its safety

Agreed. If it's already working fine, don't go changing it. If you're really frustrated, a BIOS update might help, though it carries some risk. Better secure the area with electrical tape or maybe apply some conductive Black 2.0 paint to cover just that spot.

Consider using a task scheduler to restart your computer each morning at 04:00 and create a script that resets your usual applications.

Usually I’m at 4 and I’m not sure, maybe it’s just me.

If everything functions smoothly, disregard the indicator light. It's probably related to the LED itself. On my Asrock model, the DRAM LED remains dimmed continuously. The overall system operates fine, though it performs slightly worse than before.
