Hello,

I have a red led glowing just at the side of PCI EXPRESS where my GPU is plugged in.

The thing is I've build this pc like half a year ago and If i'm not wrong this led been glowing from the beggining. I didn't pay attention on it, but now looking into the manual of my mboard it says if this led is glowing it indicates GPU is not detected or fail.

Past half year I had no problems with my PC and everything worked fine, but anyway I want to solve this issue and switch off this LED.

Any suggestions?

P.S.: I5-8400, MSI B360 Gaming Plus, AORUS AORUS GTX 1060 XTREME Edition Rev.2

Thanks,

i just bought an MSI z370 gaming plus and the red light indicates it is operating in 16x mode. it'll be white for slower modes. red is good in this case. I do not believe it can be turned off. This LED is referenced in page 40 of the manual for your board.
