LED Power/reset switch on X370 Fatality Pro Gaming

Please owners of this motherboard can you help clear an issue up for me.

The LED Power and Reset switches/buttons on this board light up on initial boot up then go out once the computer enters windows, this is what my board does. Does yours do this????????

If the system goes into sleep mode and then I wake it up the LED Power/Reset switch/buttons light up and stay lit. Does yours do this?????

If I reboot the LED Power/Reset switch lights will go out again once the computer enters windows again - rinse and repeat. Does yours do this????


NOW!!! If I don't let the computer go to sleep and the LED Power/Reset switch/buttons are not lit and I shut down the computer the LED's stay off unlit.

However if I let the computer sleep then wake it and the LED Power/Reset switch/buttons are lit up and I shut down the computer they stay lit up even when the computer is off. This activity also generates a windows did not shut down properly or something error in windows reliability monitor the next boot up.

WTF!!!!!! What does your board do please????? Do I have a faulty board because it sometimes feels when the computer wakes from sleep it's not real stable.

HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED IF PEOPLE COULD COMFIRM THE BEHAVIOUR OF THE LED'S FOR POWER/RESET SWITCHES ON THEIR BOARDS PLEASE SO I CAN DETERMIN IF MY BOARD IS FAULTY OR IF THIS IS COMMON BEHAVIOR FOR ALL BOARDS.

Thank you.

Check the polarities and all wiring on the case to MB wiring at SYSTEM PANEL HEADER

That Windows error is why I ask that. Unless you something else amiss, improper case to MB might cause these two issues.

On mine, the power button always stays lid up along with others. Not the reset button.

So much missing basic information, hard to know where to start.

What version of Windows are you using?

What other basic hardware are you using?

I cannot at all agree with your idea that the behavior of the LEDs in the Power and Reset switches on the board is related to a message in a Windows log.

You wrote "... This activity also generates a windows did not shut down properly or something error..."

How do you know that "This activity" causes that entry in the Windows log?

A windows "did not shut down properly or something error". How are we supposed to diagnose this based upon an ambiguous "or something error"?

Have you changed any of the default option settings in the UEFI/BIOS?

What UEFI/BIOS version are you using?

Have you done anything with the RGB lighting controls on the board? Do you have any other components that have RGB lighting?

Deep Sleep set to Enabled in BIOS?
