Hello,

It's my first time building a desktop to work with Revit, Enscape, Lumion, etc. I am not using it for gaming.
I bought and build the desktop based on the recommendation of this website. However, the desktop is not booting properly. The motherboard light is constantly on (RED and Yellow Light).
I think it is a motherboard problem, so I am probably returning the one I have and getting a new one.
Any recommendation? Or how can I fix it?


List of what I bought and built:

The motherboard light is constantly on (RED and Yellow Light).
If you're talking about the EZ Debug LEDs on the side, then those are the CPU and RAM error LEDs. Try reseating those parts once.
In case that doesn't work, try a BIOS update/downgrade using BIOS files from your motherboard's support page and use the BIOS flashback button (you don't need to boot to do this type of update).
If none of these steps help, then returning for another one is a good bet.
