When I turn my pc on I get the vga led light. I found that resetting my cmos let's me into the bios and I can get windows to boot from bios by choosing to "discard changes and continue" but that is the only way that I have found. After I leave the bios everything runs smooth and the led light is no longer on.

Tried:
-replacing 500w power supply with 750w corsair.
-replaced the gpu on multiple occasions
-updated my bios to latest version
-replasced cmos battery
-booting with only 1 stick of ram
-tryed using either pcie slot
-made sure my gpu and motherboard drivers are all up to date.

Build:
-Asus 970 pro gaming/aura
-amd fx 8350 cpu
-Radeon rx 560 gpu
-corsair 750w bronze standard psu
-2x 4gb ram
-500gb hardrive

Also i had GeForce 1050 ti before this and had the same problem but when I put my gt 770 in everything works fine. Why does it seem to only happen to my higher end gpus?
 
Solution
If you are getting POST failures indicating VGA then that is:

- GPU isn't installed right
- Problem with the PCIe slot on the motherboard. Try a different one or cleaning the slots
- Bad motherboard

No reason a 770 should work but a 1050Ti shouldn't.
