Troubleshooting

System does not power on

Verify all power connections from the PSU to the motherboard (24-pin ATX and 8-pin EPS) are secure. Ensure the power switch on the case is correctly connected to the motherboard header.

No display output

Ensure the monitor is connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard's onboard video outputs (if applicable). Reseat the graphics card and check monitor cable connections. Try a different display cable or monitor.

RAM not recognized or system unstable

Ensure DDR5 modules are correctly seated in the DIMM slots according to the motherboard manual for dual-channel configuration. Try booting with a single RAM module to identify faulty sticks. Check the QVL (Qualified Vendor List) on the GIGABYTE website for memory compatibility.

M.2 SSD not detected

Verify the M.2 SSD is properly installed in the slot and secured. Check the motherboard manual to confirm which M.2 slots support PCIe 5.0 or specific key sizes. Ensure BIOS settings are correct for M.2 detection.

Network issues (LAN or Wi-Fi)

Ensure the latest LAN and Wi-Fi drivers are installed from the GIGABYTE support website. Check physical cable connections for LAN ports. For Wi-Fi, ensure the antenna is properly connected to the rear I/O.
