I'm using the darkFlash TR240 AIO which has those aura/led connector from the pump that should plug onto motherboard.

This may sound weird but I've tested everything one by one untill I found out the D_LED2 header on board was causing all this. If I leave it plugged in. Rear fan, led and psu fan stays on but everything went off immediately after I unplugged.

Btw, rear fan and the led both are plugged into the hub that came with the case (NZXT H440 without PWM) and only those I've mentioned stays on. The pump or the opt fan on radiator were off.


Any idea how to fix this even with D_LED2 plugged? Have already tried CMOS reset. Fast boot, hibernate and everything related were turned off.

Here's the issue (video clip)

I hope you understand that unplugging a component from the motherboard while it's still(seemingly) active, regardless of that component being critical to your system or not, can and will result in a fried system/motherboard or blown PSU. Don't do it! Shut off the rocker switch behind the PSU, remove cable causing issues and then power up, power down to see if it had helped.

What BIOS version are you working with at the moment? Are you sure you've connected the RGB cable in the right way, taking note of the arrow inscribed on the connector and the header? How are the LED's connected to the hub?

BIOS Ver. F10g
I've checked. All cable/connector/header are connected the right way as I followed by the instruction manual.

By unplug the cable that's connected to D_LED2 header everything turn on and off as normal but without led on the cpu pump.

The rear fan and the led both are 3pin connected to the hub
 
Also the ErP were set to disable by default and I didn't setup anything to power on by mouse, keyboard or LAN. Should I enable ErP and try to see everything powers down after a shut down?
