That's correct. I've noted the orange LED on the motherboard. Here are your specifications:
- PSU: Bitfenix Whisper 650W
- GPU: Nvidia GTX 960 (replaced RTX 2070)
- CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
- RAM: TridentZ G.skill CL16 (8GB x 2)
- SSD: Samsung 1TB 860 EVO
- Motherboard: Asus Rog Swift B450-I
Well, you claim to have 16 GB of RAM, yet Valorant only consumes about 1500 MB or 1.5 GB... Take a look at what's occupying the remaining 12 GB (about 77% of your total). The Orange LED doesn't give any clues. Maybe you should download the motherboard manual to understand what the orange indicator means. Also, click the > button next to Valorant to view all three running processes and see what's happening. It might just be that Valorant acts as a launcher, launching different game versions based on certain conditions—like whether your graphics card supports DirectX 11 or DirectX 12. Alternatively, one of the processes could be an anti-cheat system, though I have no idea. For a deeper analysis, you could use Process Explorer from SysInternals Suite (Microsoft): Process Explorer - Windows Sysinternals | Microsoft Docs
Your system only recognizes 8 GB of memory, but it appears only 5 GB is free. The BIOS might indicate a clock speed of 2133 MHz, which could be accurate. Verify that both drives are correctly seated (with an empty slot between them for dual-channel operation) since your motherboard type limits it to 2 slots.
connection failed despite being established. Had to reattach it multiple times before it functioned...
