Troubleshooting
System does not power on
Ensure all power cables are securely connected to the motherboard and power supply. Verify the power supply unit is functional and the wall outlet is active. Check the CPU and motherboard diagnostic LEDs for error codes.
No display output
Confirm the monitor is connected to the graphics card (if installed) and not the motherboard's display outputs. Reseat the graphics card and RAM modules. Try booting with minimal components connected.
RAM not recognized or unstable
Verify that the DDR5 RAM modules are installed in the correct slots for dual-channel operation as per the manual. Ensure the RAM is on the motherboard's QVL. Try booting with a single RAM stick to identify a faulty module.
M.2 SSD not detected
Ensure the M.2 SSD is correctly seated in the slot and secured. Check the BIOS settings to confirm the M.2 slot is enabled and configured correctly. Verify compatibility with Gen5 or Gen4 specifications.
Wi-Fi or LAN connectivity issues
Ensure the latest network drivers are installed from the MSI support website. Check the physical cable connection for LAN. In BIOS, verify that the onboard network controllers are enabled.
