    Issue:
    I finished a build two weeks ago with everything working perfectly fine. After updating my BIOS to Version 2103 released 2026/03/16 my motherboard RGB logo and ARGB headers stopped working completely. The fans spin and adjust speed fine however, I'm not getting any RGB lighting. I have confirmed that the fans do work with an ARGB controller and testing them in another PC. Prior to all of this happening I was able to adjust and customize all of my fan lighting using SignalRGB.

    Possible Contributing Factors:
    1. Updated BIOS to the latest version (2103)
    2. Installed VC_redist.x64 prior to updating motherboard firmware to Version 4242: 250708, IT8857: 0206
    3. Installed all ASUS drivers, including Armoury Crate and Chipset Software

    Troubleshooting Steps Approached:
    - Re-updated BIOS to latest version (2103)
    - Changed LED lighting settings in BIOS, Armoury Crate, SignalRGB, Dynamic Lighting
    - Reset BIOS to default settings and cleared CMOS
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled Armoury Crate and SignalRGB
    - Verified that all RGB/ARGB cables are plugged in securely and correctly
    - Confirmed the fans and RGB strip work on another system — they are not defective
    - Discharged Motherboard Capacitors (Held Power Button 30-60 sec while power supply disconnected)
    - Re-installed Windows 11

    Current Behavior:
    Ram, Keyboard, and Mouse are able to be controlled via SignalRGB
    Fans - No RGB but they are able to spin and adjust speed

    Setup:
    CPU: Ryzen 7 9850X3D
    Motherboard: ROG STRIX X870E-E GAMING WIFI7 R2/USBC CARD
    Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB
    Storage: 1TB Samsung 990 Pro
    Cooling: Thermalright AIO WonderVision360
    Fans: TL-M12Q Regular/Reverse Fans

    Would really like to get some assistance with this. Thank you.
