I had left my desktop PC with an ASUS motherboard plugged in at night (I generally unplug it when I'm not using it) and I noticed it's motherboard LED was blinking. I unplugged it, waited 10 seconds and plugged it in again, but still it blinks.

What does it mean?

  • That's normal and by (the manufacturer's) design. It means it's detecting power.

  • @JohnnyVegas it stopped indeed. What does it mean? Do some motherboards have like a network cable led which is supposed to behave like this or do I have to worry? Jan 24, 2019 at 20:54

Looks like Wake on Lan - A protocol where a fully switched off computer with a network cable plugged in can be switched on by the use of a 'magic packet'.
