I have a problem with my motherboard's RGB lighting it only powers on when I turn my pc off. When I boot my pc it turns off but Dram, VGA, and Corsair H100i all lights up. I have contacted ASUS 4 times already with no resolution to my problem. I tried everything online I found to no avail. Clearing Cmos, Running as admin the Aura.exe. Nothing turns my RGB lights on except when it's powered off than it turns on. Help Me plz! First ROG motherboard. Feeling a little dissapointed.

I-5 7600K defualt settings in Bios
Trident Z RGB ram 16GB

Evga Supernova 650w G3 PSU

This is a pretty obvious and perhaps cheeky reply but....... are you sure that you have it enabled properly in BIOS? On my Z270G you can have various states of RGB goodness and yours sounds like it may be switched to only show when on sleep or standby. Can it be as simple as that? Check up the options and see what happens when you change the state of play......

I have sleep and standby disabled in bios. Forgot to mention ERP is also disabled.

Well after a whole month of going back and forth on phone and live chat. They finally told me that they think its hardware issue to RMA the motherboard. Which I knew it was from the beginning. Luckily I had time to RMA back to Newegg before my 30 days ended because Asus told me they would fix my motherboard not send me a new one and that Newegg will send me a new one so I should RMA with them. So sent it today hopefully next one wont have no issues. Well gl to all those having same issue. They will give you the biggest run around I seen to tell you motherboard is defective.:mad:
