Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter.

PC Not Powering On

• Check PSU Connection: Ensure the power supply is properly connected to the wall outlet and the motherboard.
• Front Panel Connections: Verify that the power button cable from the front I/O panel is correctly connected to the motherboard's front panel header. Refer to your motherboard manual for the correct pinout.
• PSU Switch: Make sure the power switch on the back of the PSU is in the "On" position.

Poor Airflow or Overheating

• Dust Filters: Clean all dust filters regularly to ensure unrestricted airflow.
• Fan Orientation: Verify that your case fans are oriented correctly (intake fans pulling air in, exhaust fans pushing air out).
• Cable Management: Poor cable management can obstruct airflow. Re-route cables to minimize obstruction.
• Component Clearance: Ensure that large components like CPU coolers or GPUs are not directly blocking airflow paths.

Front USB Ports Not Working

• Motherboard Connection: Ensure the USB 3.2 Gen1 cable from the front I/O panel is securely connected to the corresponding header on your motherboard.
• Driver Issues: Check your operating system's device manager for any USB driver issues.
