Solved...I think. It seems to be my 15 year old Seagate Baracuda 320GB hard drive had a problem. With that out of the system, all is well for two days/nights in a row. Sometimes it took several hours for the power LED to illuminate, so had to give it time between each change and test.]]> Sun, 11 Jun 2023 04:33:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25986&PID=105150&title=power-led-slowly-reilluminates-while-pc-is-off#105150 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25986&PID=105120&title=power-led-slowly-reilluminates-while-pc-is-off#105120 Author: Quexos

Thought it was fixed, but it came back on over night.]]> Fri, 09 Jun 2023 00:02:23 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25986&PID=105120&title=power-led-slowly-reilluminates-while-pc-is-off#105120 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25986&PID=105110&title=power-led-slowly-reilluminates-while-pc-is-off#105110 Author: Quexos

Solved: Seems there was a BIOS setting that got set to enabled. PSS Support (presumably stands for power saving sh**), changed to disabled seems to have sorted it out.]]> Thu, 08 Jun 2023 06:07:40 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25986&PID=105110&title=power-led-slowly-reilluminates-while-pc-is-off#105110 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=25986&PID=105104&title=power-led-slowly-reilluminates-while-pc-is-off#105104 Author: Quexos

Will try to be brief. Mainboard, CPU, RAM were just moved from my main PC (where there was no such problem) to my backup (hand-me-down) PC after upgrades to Main PC. All functions perfectly, but after powering off (full shutdown, no sleep/hibernate/fast boot), the Power LED goes out (sometimes it doesn't even go out), then slowly comes back on.

If I hit the kill switch on the Antec TP750 power supply, the Power LED goes out, and does not come back on after turning the power supply switch back on...until the next boot and shutdown.

Things tried & failed: swapped out all power cables, SATA cables. Changed display port cable (google "pin 20 issue") to DVI-D cable. Disconnected all Case leads from MB headers except power switch and power LED and confirmed correct polarity.

Video demo: Behold the issue, and my chatty cat. I am out of ideas.
