Hey, guys! I have a MSI B560M PRO-E and yesterday when booting the PC it got stuck in the White LED. Everything was powered on, but no boot/video. So I very briefly touched the power button and it immediately turned off, I pressed power again and it booted normally; ran some tests, benchmarked components, everything working normally. Today the same exact thing happened: stuck at white led > power immediately turns off > turns on normally second on second boot. I'm actually writting this from my PC, its working as intended. It never happened before, so I'm worried a new problem has arised.

GPU: RTX4060
CPU: i5 11600kf
MOBO: MSI B560M PRO-E
RAM: 2x16Gb (I don't remember manufacturer)
HD: 1Tb + 240Gb Kingstom SSD's

ps: My GPU vibrates a little under load (which causes a slight vibration on the desk) I was worried it could eventually damage it so I ordered two GPU supports, should arrive any day now.

Hey, for whoever may stumble upon this thread with a similar issue, I managed to fix by simply disconnecting and reconnecting the PCIe on the GPU. It might have been a not-so-well-plugged-cable all along. Its been almost two weeks without any problems, but I'll keep monitoring and plan on updating this thread on any further developments.

You can look at the side of the ram sticks that has the sticker on it, to tell what they are.

You forgot to mention the make and model of your PSU and it's age. As for your motherboard,

what BIOS version are you on?

I went through your manual, it doesn't show what the LED's color correspond to but since you're seated right next to the motherboard, what do you see as text/labelling next to the white LED?

Might want to pass on a video of the issue happening and a picture of your build, in case you're doing something else wrong.

I don't remember the exact model, but its a Corsair 600w one || Bios version: 7D22v2B

I think its VGA (which checks out with what I've seem online)

I built this PC 2 years ago and its the first time this specific issue happened. I can't film it right now, but I'll try to next time I boot the PC.

You need to be very specific on the model of the unit. You're the one in possession of the PSU, not us. Take the side panel off and look at what the stickered info states. Out of curiosity, do you have the green labelled CX600?
