Go to gigabyte for help with their board.

Hello Jim22,

Thank you for posting in the community. To further investigate, have you tried re-seating your CPU on the motherboard? Additionally, could you check the CPU socket on your motherboard for any bent pins or debris? Please be careful not to brush the CPU socket, as this may cause the pins to bend.

Best regards,

Why do we not find out from gigabyte what the orange cpu light indicates before we try reseating the cpu, and potentially causing more problems? It could be something as simple as a power connector.
