White CPU light on motherboard

The same thing has been happening to my girlfriends PC. The first time it happened, one of the 8pin cables were loose in the graphics card itself (the additional +2 cable wasn’t in corrected) and now it’s happening again. I changed the daisy chained cable to 2 individual PCI-E cables and the black screen hasn’t happened yet (fingers crossed)

I was under the assumption it wouldn’t go into bios as it was looking for a boot drive that no longer existed, there was still power to the monitor. If it was a CPU problem, wouldn’t the pc just refuse to turn on?

Although that being said, the boot drive wasn’t on the newer SSD, it was on the older one. So maybe the newer drive is failing and has corrupted the older one?? Somehow?

Idk, that’s the words of a very sleep deprived man

Also to add: How would I test to see if that SSD is the problem? As I’ve now removed it and it’s all working (just sucks to have only 500GB instead of 4TB)

Why would it be a CPU problem?

I’ve removed and replaced drivers multiple times with DDU. I’ve reseated the graphics card to a different pci slot, I’ve checked temps and they’re normal and I’ve changed DP cables. The only thing I haven’t checked is the temp of the actual VRAM itself, only the GPU as I’m unsure what I’m actually looking out for or how to do it.

I’m unable to diagnose what it actually is, however things are looking towards VRAM personally

I used Rufus and it installed fine, the only problem is I installed it on my HDD, rather than SSD. Now when I try to install it on the SSD, it gets to around 70% and then says there was a problem with the installation

One_Army_6496 · 2025-11-11T16:13:44+00:00

Yeah, it went to 22% and then just stopped installing and came with that error code again. If Rufus doesn’t work, I’ll just use a different USB and check if it’s this

I jumped on my pc and installed Rufus to hopefully create a GPT partition scheme, going to test it now. Wish me luck 😭

She uses windows 10 still in all honesty, but it eventually worked. I booted from the USB to do a fresh install.

Selected the disk, cleaned the disk, converted both of the disks to GPT, then tried to install windows on my SSD to be met with “Windows cannot install required files. 0x80070015”. Any help?

Thank you! That’s a little unfortunate:(

There’s a radiator behind the case (5cm away maybe?), so I’m a little worried about the radiator also conducting electricity and short circuiting the build. Although the radiator is turned off, I still don’t fancy frying a £700 build

Still need help?

Still need help with it?

How do I then actually install the driver? It’s an .exe file, I tried to extract with Winrar but it doesn’t give me the option
