Needing some help and advice. Built my pc in December 2025 and everything has been going pretty well. About 2 months ago I turned my computer on one day and noticed the cpu light on my motherboard was on. Like immediately, before any of the fans start spinning, lights turn on etc. it’s the first thing to come on. Okay weird, start troubleshooting. My cpu is still being read within both task manager and my bios. All my drivers are up to date, and stress tests and temp tests all read totally normal. I even reseated the cpu just in case. Also worth noting, my fans still spin however the RGB’s no longer come on. I checked all cables and everything is fine there. And suspiciously on the same day, one of the USB ports on my motherboard has stopped working. My wifi is also only running at like half the speeds it used to. At this point I am getting suspicious that it’s actually motherboard issues and not the cpu. Before I go the route of “my motherboard is faulty”, any other advice of things I can try?

CPU: ryzen 9 7900
Motherboard: gigabyte eagle x870 wifi7
