I'm having the exact same issue as the person in this thread https://www.overclockers.co.uk/foru...onstant-red-cpu-light-gigabyts-mobo.18861742/

System has been working for a week without issue. Today it kept hanging intermittently, now it won't post at all and the CPU light stays on.

Also can't seem to enter Q Flash Plus. Not sure if that is a sign...

Specs:

  • NZXT H510 Elite
  • Corsair MP600 Drive
  • AMD 3900XT
  • Gigabyte AMD 5700XT OC Edition
  • Aorus X570 Pro
  • Corsair RM850X.
  • Kraken X63 CPU Cooler with 2 Fans
  • 1 x 140mm Exhaust Fan
  • 1 x 120mm Exhaust Fan

@GIGA-Man, please can you help :)

I think @GIGA-Man most likely been taken up with Nvidia launch . Hopefully this catches their eye as they can keep on top of OCUK

Is the board/CPU within 14 /30 days ?

All picked up on the 24th August. It looks like the Mobo as it just goes straight to that light and nothing else, even the Q Flash Plus which should work without the CPU. I will send both back just in case... It was working fine all work after I built it and then when bank holiday Monday came around for some serious gaming is when it started crashing/hanging and then eventually died.
 
There seems to have been several people with the same issue on this forum and Reddit, maybe a bad Rev1.0 batch. Really ruined my bank holiday weekend.
 
Board has been tested and confirmed to be dud. OCUK are going to send a replacement but seems all the Aorus boards are out of stock. It means it could be weeks before I've got a replacement for something I've paid for but barely got to use and may miss the 3090 launch I wanted :(

It's one of those things that happens but not happy. @GIGA-Man anything you can do to help speed up a replacement?
