Question System works fine, but Asus Mobo Power light flashes at boot. (New build)

[brad1138]

According to ASUS, a quick flashing power light at power on indicates a memory issue. But the system works fine & I have run memory tests a number of times, with no issues found. I have run performance tests and the whole system, including mem, scores just where it should. Never had a BSOD.

I booted with each (16 GB) memory stick individually, and it blinks with each one. Unlikely they both have an issue.

Could it flash just because the mem isn't on the "approved list"? FWIW, it was part a Newegg Mobo & Mem bundle.

It bothers me it is telling me something is wrong, even if there isn't.

The BIOS is up to date.

Can you pass on where you've found that? In the motherboard's manual?

FWIW, it was part a Newegg Mobo & Mem bundle.
For context, please pass on the link to said bundle or the make and model of the bundle. On second thoughts, please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model.

The BIOS is up to date.
For the sake of relevance, please mention the BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time. If you've recycled any parts from an older build, please specify them.

Looks to me that your case has RGB built into the power button's LED as well.

Everything in the build is new, other than the case. The power light is not tied into RGB lighting.

Gamemax is the brand while you've mentioned the fans in your case...that doesn't help us narrow down the model of the case.

PSU: EVGA 850 Gold
EVGA is the brand of the PSU while 850W and Gold are the advertised wattage and 80+ efficiency rating, respectively, what is the model of the unit?

You seem to be on the latest BIOS version and your ram should also come baked in with AMD E.X.P.O on it. Is it enabled in BIOS?
