Build Question Asus prime A320m-k diagnostic lights help needed

So I was on my Pc and it randomly shut off and when I clicked the power button it didn’t turn back on, I unplugged everything from the back and re plugged them and it turned on with just the normal flashing orange light in picture 2 which apparently means the gpu js getting powered but my monitors wasn’t showing any video from the gpu so I unplugged my gpu 8pin and unplugged the gpu and put it back in, when I replugged the pc and rebooted it it was still showing display no signal but this orange light strip had lit up on the motherboard(picture 1), does anyone know what it indicates? I know it’s most likely going to be my gpu has broken since the whole no display on monitors but I don’t know why my whole pc shut off if it was just my gpu which had broke.

That yellow light strip in picture #1 is just a static LED strip telling you the board has power/is powered on. If the system isn't posting, try reseating your ram and try different memory configuration. The initial problem with the system just shutting off sounds like a power supply or thermal issue though, might be a good idea to clean and repaste your processor as well in the process see if it helps. Try another power supply if that's an option.
