Chapter 1: Product Introduction

Chapter 1

16. Q-LEDs

The Q-LEDs check key components (CPU, DRAM, VGA, and booting devices) during

the motherboard booting process. If an error is found, the critical component’s LED

stays lit up until the problem is solved.

The Q-LEDs provide the most probable cause of an error code as a starting point for

troubleshooting. The actual cause may vary from case to case.
