Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your PC case and components:

• Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust from the case interior, fans, and filters using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.

• Fan Inspection: Verify that all fans are spinning freely and are free from obstructions.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your PC build, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, GPU power) are securely connected. Check if the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
• No Display: Verify that the monitor cable is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard I/O) and that the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input.
• Overheating: Check fan connections and ensure they are spinning. Clean any dust buildup. Verify proper airflow within the case.
• Loose Connections: Re-seat RAM modules, graphics card, and all power/data cables to ensure they are firmly in place.
