Troubleshooting

PC not powering on.

Ensure the power supply unit is properly connected to the wall outlet and the motherboard. Double-check all front panel power switch connections to the motherboard headers.

Overheating components.

Verify that all fans are spinning correctly and installed in the proper intake/exhaust configuration. Clean dust filters and check for any obstructions in the airflow path. Ensure the CPU cooler and case fans are adequate for your components.

USB ports not working.

Confirm that the USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and USB 3.0 headers are correctly connected to the motherboard. Try connecting a different USB device to test functionality.

Difficulty installing large GPU.

Ensure the GPU length does not exceed the 400mm maximum support. Remove the PSU cover if necessary for easier installation, and confirm all necessary cables are routed to allow clearance.

Noise from fans or case.

Check that all fan screws are tight and that no cables are rubbing against fan blades. Ensure the case is on a stable surface. Consider replacing stock fans with quieter models if noise persists.
