Help! My new PC has a VGA light on

I recently built my new PC and I'm encountering a problem that makes me worry. I'm using a Ryzen 5 5600G processor, an MSI A520M-A Pro motherboard, and 16GB of RAM (2x8GB, 3200MHz). When I power it on, a white VGA light on the motherboard's debug display lights up, and I'm unsure what this means. I've looked online for solutions, but I haven't found anything helpful. Can anyone provide some guidance? Thanks!

You might need to update the UEFI, especially if your CPU requires a more recent version than what's currently installed. Just a heads up, your motherboard doesn’t support CPU flashback, so you’ll need another compatible CPU to do that.

Honestly, a white VGA light isn't always a cause for concern. If your system seems to be running fine otherwise, it might just be a quirk with the motherboard. Watch for any performance issues before you dive into troubleshooting.

It sounds like your motherboard might need a BIOS update. Have you tried booting the system with just one stick of RAM to see if that helps? Sometimes, that can make a difference.
