Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your power supply, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power to System:
  • Check if the AC power cord is securely connected to both the power supply and the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the power switch on the rear of the PSU is in the ON (I) position.
  • Verify that all power cables (20+4 Pin ATX, 4+4 Pin CPU, PCIe, SATA) are correctly and firmly connected to their respective components.
  • Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it has power.
• System Instability/Crashes:
  • Ensure your system's power draw does not exceed the 650W capacity of the PSU. Overloading can cause instability.
  • Check for loose cable connections.
  • Ensure adequate ventilation within the PC case to prevent overheating.
• RGB Lighting Not Working:
  • If using the LED control button, ensure it is being pressed correctly to cycle effects.
  • If connected to a motherboard ARGB header, verify the connection is secure and that your motherboard's RGB software is installed and configured correctly. Ensure it's a +5V ARGB header, not a +12V RGB header.
