Just built my system (6700k, Asus z170-a, Strix 1080, Corsair vengeance LPX 32gb, Samsung sm951 256gb m.2 ssd, WD black 2TB). Followed this procedure (roughly as it is not the same mobo) to install windows on it. But when I turn on my PC the red Boot Device LED on my mobo ligts up for about 5s, in which time the screen to enter the BIOS shows up (i set the delay on 1s). It then turns off and the PC proceeds to boot normally. I also benchmarked the ssd (CrystalDiskMark), nothing out of the ordinary, speeds as advertised.

When I enter the BIOS however, the LED is on all the time.

Should I be worried, and even if not, i would like to troubleshoot this.

Thanks

Not sure what the issue is here, the PC boots fine or no? If it boots fine, you are done, use the computer, don't mess with stuff that is working.

If you want to find out exactly how that LED behaves, check with Asus support.
