I'm experiencing an intermittent issue with my computer where a red CPU LED lights up, and I'm not sure why. It doesn't happen every time I boot up, which makes it even more puzzling. My setup includes a Ryzen 7700x CPU and an MSI X670E Carbon WiFi motherboard. Can anyone provide some insights on what might be causing this issue? I've also included a photo of the error for reference.

Have you checked all your cables? A red CPU LED at around 85 degrees could indicate issues related to the CPU, power supply, or possibly the RAM. Also, make sure you're running the latest BIOS version on your motherboard!
Yep, I've updated the BIOS to the latest version.
According to the manual, the 7700x should be compatible with all BIOS versions. You might want to check if the CPU power connector is properly seated on both the motherboard and power supply.
