Question Orange light on newly built computer with Gigabyte Aorus motherboard

[BoxBuilder]

I am building a computer with these parts:

Gigabyte B550 AORUS ELITE V2 motherboard
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D processor
Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x16GB 3200 CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 Memory module
Corsair RM650 PSU / PC power supply
Corsair H55 RGB water cooler

Lian Li Lancool 205 MESH C White Case
Gigabyte Radeon RX 7600 GAMING OC 8G Video card
Kingston KC600 256GB 2.5" SSD
Seagate HDD 3.5" 2TB ST2000DM008 Barracuda
Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 Internal WLAN / Bluetooth

Arctic MX-4 heat sink compound Thermal paste 4 g
Microsoft Windows 11 Home NL OEM

The problem is that when I turn on the computer, the fans start spinning (yay) but also that the motherboard lights up completely orange and that nothing appears on the screen. So I can't get to the BIOS.

According to the internet, possible causes that I have already checked are:
- incorrectly installed CPU (no idea how you can do that because you can only get it in the socket in 1 way)
- loose memory banks (I have already taken them out and put them back in several times, they are also in the correct slots)
- CMOS that needs to be cleared (I did)
All those tips come from here: https://forums.tomshardware.com/thr...rd-show-orange-light-and-blackscreen.3790882/

Furthermore, I have also tried with as many parts removed as possible: without graphics card, without SSD, without HDD, without most connectors of the front panel of the case (everything except the on/off button). That makes no difference.

Does anyone have an idea what else I can try? I just hope I don't have to return the whole thing because, for example, the motherboard simply doesn't work.

Another unimportant side question: for the 'Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210 Intern WLAN / Bluetooth' there appears to be no slot at all on the motherboard. It seems to me that the card needs an M2 Key E slot, and the motherboard only has PCIe. Or am I seeing that wrong?

This:

"The problem is that when I turn on the computer, the fans start spinning (yay) but also that the motherboard lights up completely orange and that nothing appears on the screen. So I can't get to the BIOS."

Details needed.

Are you able to take some photographs showing "completely orange" and post the photographs here via imgur (www.imgur.com)?

Do you have the motherboard's User Guide/Manual?

what revision is your board? there is rev1.0/1.1 upto 1.5 1 of those have the "wifi built in".

i would suggest you find the revision number then go to gigabyte site. and download latest bios drivers for your revision. . and take out "cpu, ram, ssd/nvme.. and just plug in 24 pin power and 8pin power
then insert usb stick with latest bios and turn on power then press "q flash button on back on motherboard and it will flash to latest bios ,.. once finished (about 10 minutes max) you can unplug from psu. and install all parts again and then power on and you should get a working pc. . (do not clear cmos until you have booted into windows successfully, of it could corrupt bios.
......
important note.. for when bios flashing..

make sure usb stick is less than 32gb...
formatted to "fat32"
bios folder is unzipped and re named "gigabyte.bin". (check file extension is on in folder).
watch the red flashing led by "q flash button" if will flash red slowly for a few seconds and then faster. this means its working.. if it stops after a few flashes, it means you did something wrong. and need to try again.


i hope this helps
