[SOLVED] I have red lights on my motherboard i could use your guys help if possible.

So I just switched my PSU over from a 650 watt to a 850 watt PSU and I switch out all the cables and placed them back the same way other than the Sata one which I'm not sure where I had those in and on this PSU 1, 2 and 3 are the other way so I put them in and hoped .

The pc loads fine but I noticed on the mother board the dram light comes on red first at boot then it goes VGA and after that when I turn the pc off the CPU one comes on. Is it because I mixed the satas or have I missed something. On task manager a lot of cpu and some you is being used more than normal.

I'm using an X470 Gaming Pro Carbon, those red lights are the Ez Debug LEDs and those lights cycling through the 4 spots is just the POST(Power On Self Test) process and it is completely normal. As for your CPU and (?)you(?) usage if it is significantly more than before, something might be wrong. If it is a small margin of maybe 1-3% more I count it as tolerable margin. If the red LED stays on, then something is wrong.
