    New pc case and mobo p5b-vm do green light on board


    Story time: a few years ago I started upgrading my pc an hp a6244n I bought a cpu and a gpu GTX 550 ti And an Intel e7500 the gpu worked but the cpu did not because the mobo could not support it so I bought a mobo that could i.e. (P5b-vm do) but the chord for the power button did not match so I recently bought a case to get it all working a rosewill fmb-01 and got it together only to find there's a green light blinking on the mobo when I went to plug it in I also bought a PSu Rosewill 450W 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Power Supply CAPSTONE-450 Black

    The manual that came with your new motherboard should tell you what the blinking green light means.

    As I said I bought most of these parts a couple years ago so I honestly don't know where it is but I Think there's an online manual

    Yes
    Well the explanation for that light seems to be easy to understand, if it's on don't start plugging things in or unplugging things. It's basically a power indicator to remind you not to do those things.

    That's on page 18 of the manual,

    I do wonder why the light is blinking.

    From post #1

    only to find there's a green light blinking on the mobo when I went to plug it in I also bought a PSu Rosewill 450W 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Power Supply CAPSTONE-450 Black

    Anyway; a copy of your motherboard manual in my opinion is a absolute necessity.

    I will go back to watching.

    I'm just trying to figure out where I went wrong I'll upload a couple pictures here to see if you guys can help diagnose the problem wether it's my bad pc knowledge or something else

    I was wondering why it was blinking too, I didn't see anything in my quick skim but it might be blinking to alert that plugging something in is not supposed to be done while it is on.
