How dare I try to add another HDD to my build, expecting everything to work immediately?

For some god-forsaken reason, an LED lit up on my motherboard that never has that could either indicate some hardware connectivity problem or it could just be purely decorative. Why it would light up when it hasn’t ever before and why it would light up, indicating that something is wrong with the build, whilst not having any issues with booting the PC and using it, is beyond me.

Apparently, updating the BIOS could help, but I’ve had no such luck. Back to the drawing board I guess

Edit: it’s for fucking aesthetics. who in their right mind would think that a motherboard LED, that’s usually used for diagnostics, would be a good place to show off your RGB shenanigans? I turned them off in the BIOS settings and now everything’s fine again

      Hey, I’m the last person to complain about these small doodads - I appreciate them even. But when, apparently, orange LED on motherboard means that something’s wrong, maybe don’t use that colour on a motherboard for decoration? :D

      Could have spent hours wondering what the problem could be, possibly even leading to a purchase of different components altogether
