Graphics Card
The white Q-LED is the motherboard's hardware-level confirmation that the GPU has failed the initialization sequence. This occurs when the PCIe link training fails to reach an 'L0' state or the GPU's internal voltage regulator modules fail to signal 'Power Good' to the motherboard. Replacing the card resolves the issue if the failure is located within the VBIOS or the graphics processor's logic board.

Motherboard
Mechanical failure of the PCIe x16 slot, often due to 'GPU sag' or stress on the solder joints, can interrupt the high-speed differential pairs required for communication. If the traces between the CPU socket and the PCIe slot are compromised, the BIOS will trigger the VGA light as it cannot detect a valid peripheral. A replacement board ensures structural integrity of the PCIe interface and signal routing.

Intel 13th Gen 'S' Series CPU (for BIOS update)
On Z790 boards lacking a 'BIOS Flashback' button, a 14th Gen CPU may fail to initialize the PCIe controller if the BIOS version is outdated, resulting in a VGA error light. Using a natively supported 13th Gen CPU allows the system to complete POST and enter the UEFI environment to update the firmware. This solves the logical incompatibility between the CPU's integrated PCIe controller and the motherboard's firmware.
