My system functions normally unless power is cut, then it automatically restarts after a short delay each time I boot. XMP is active for RAM, allowing it to operate at 6600 MHz instead of the default 4800. The yellow indicator seems related to booting, but I’ll share photos later. My details: https://se.pcpartpicker.com/user/PolishGuy/saved/nJkmLk. Right now there’s no GPU installed and the yellow light is present. Otherwise, performance is solid (except using my integrated graphics) and the PC doesn’t shut down unexpectedly. If the images are unclear, I can send more.

It seems the VGA light is active because your graphics card isn’t installed. The manual explains how each part functions. Since the VGA light stays on, it’s probably okay to disregard it.

Confirming the details—BOOT and DRAM are mentioned together.

There are four LEDs, each with a unique label. The VGA light is the one that shines, and the arrival in Windows doesn’t cause any concern.

right under the light, hard to see in your photo, it says VGA. there is an LED under the VGA label, that corresponds to the boot label. same for CPU and Dram. its pretty clearly labled in the mobo manual..

It isn't the VGA connection; the GPU is plugged in but the light remains inactive. It had been off before the GPU was connected.

Consider turning your display on before starting your computer. In my situation, it often lights up during the boot process.

I understand you're looking for alternatives since the orange light isn't ideal. Could you share more details about what you're trying to achieve?
