6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Kllisre X99 Motherboard Combo Kit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Display/Video Output:
  • Ensure your monitor is connected to the graphics card (if installed) or the integrated graphics port (if available and enabled).
  • Verify that all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, GPU power) are securely connected.
  • Reseat the RAM modules, ensuring they are correctly installed in the designated green slots first.
  • Try booting with only one RAM module installed.
  • Check if the CPU is properly seated and the CPU cooler is installed correctly.
  • If you have a dedicated graphics card, try removing it and using integrated graphics (if applicable) or testing with a different known-good graphics card.
• System Fails to Power On:
  • Check the power supply unit (PSU) switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Ensure the 24-pin ATX and 8-pin CPU power connectors are firmly seated.
  • Verify that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard header.
  • Test the power supply with another system or a PSU tester if possible.
• Operating System Issues:
  • Ensure all necessary drivers for the motherboard chipset, LAN, and audio are installed.
  • Check for any conflicting software or recent hardware changes.
  • Run diagnostic tools for memory and storage drives.

7. User Tips

• RAM Installation Priority: Always prioritize installing RAM modules into the green slots (slots 3 and 4) first, especially when using fewer than four modules. The black slots cannot function independently.
• Component Condition: The CPU and memory included in this kit are used components but have been tested and come with a 1-year warranty, ensuring their functionality.
• Windows 11 Compatibility: While the kit provides robust hardware, ensure all components meet the specific requirements for Windows 11 (e.g., TPM 2.0, Secure Boot) if you plan to install it. Check Microsoft's official documentation for the latest requirements.
