Wi-Fi or Bluetooth not working

Install the latest Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers from the MSI support website. Ensure the Wi-Fi antenna is properly connected to the rear I/O panel.

M.2 SSD not recognized

Ensure the M.2 SSD is correctly seated in the M.2 slot. Check the BIOS settings to ensure the M.2 slot is enabled and configured correctly. Some M.2 slots may share bandwidth with SATA ports; consult the manual.

Install DDR5 RAM modules in the designated slots according to the motherboard manual for optimal dual-channel performance. Connect storage devices to SATA ports or M.2 slots.

Ensure your power supply unit (PSU) has sufficient wattage for your components.

Care: To maintain performance, regularly clean dust from the motherboard and heatsinks using compressed air. Avoid touching components directly with your hands to prevent static discharge. Ensure proper airflow within your PC case to keep temperatures stable. When updating BIOS, always follow the official MSI instructions carefully.
