Solid CPU red led

[lancemta]

My pc is working. Boots to windows normally. I play games at normal temperatures, yet I have a cpu red light.

This is a new pc and I updated the BIOS because I was encountering problems (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-3777593/exhausted-choices-bios-update-left.html)

I think it appeared after updating the bios because I would have had noticed it.

Gigabyte mobo manual says that it means device is not working properly.

That's curious as if there was a cpu issue then the system wouldn't boot at all. All I can think its a glitch of some sort-hopefully someone else can chime in.

Normally if the CPU light is red your board will not boot up. in your case it does which tells me the LED or board are defective. However it works so its really just a minor issue, won't affect performance.

That said, if these parts are new, I would exchange the board for a new one.

Surprisingly, it disappeared. It certainly appeared after the BIOS update but why that happened is beyond me.
