Since yesterday, when I boot up my pc, 3 red led lights turn on for less than a second in three different locations. I think I may have had too many usbs in at once and it was drawing way too much power (I have a 600w OCZ power supply?) and my keyboard and mouse would not work unless I did a hard reset.

So basically I am just wondering if I royally screwed something up or if my mobo is just running tests? I know that two of the lights are the boot_device_led which stays on until I sign in, and the other is for the RAM but I don't know what the third one is, I am assuming it is for VGA, at least that's what is says in the manual. I am also wondering how long these lights will go on for and if it will become a problem for me in the future.

I have an ASUS P9X79LE motherboard
