Hey! I began using my PC and only received a VGA indicator light. I took the GPU to a store which offered a warranty but said they couldn't repair it. I replaced it and installed the new one, but the issue persisted. When I swapped out different motherboards, the DRAM light appeared and didn’t affect anything else. After reinstalling everything, I booted into BIOS, updated it, and restarted—still stuck on the VGA white light. I cleared the CMOS and tried entering BIOS again. When the RAID setup finished, I had to reset the CMOS to proceed. I also attempted to switch from AHCI to RAID settings, but the same problem continued. I’ve tried a different GPU cable, unplugged SSD and HDD, and changed the battery on the motherboard. My CPU and PSU are still under warranty, and I suspect an MBO is involved. The GPU is new, the CPU is from two years ago, and the PSU is old. I’m planning to test another GPU cable and reset the CMOS before giving up.
