7. Maintenance

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

• Dust Cleaning: Periodically clean dust filters (if present) and the interior of the case using compressed air or a soft brush. Ensure the system is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.
• Airflow: Ensure that all fan vents are clear of obstructions to maintain proper airflow and cooling.
• Cable Management: Periodically check cable routing to ensure no cables are interfering with fans or obstructing airflow.

If you encounter issues, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • Check if the power cable is securely connected to the PSU and the wall outlet.
  • Ensure the PSU's power switch is in the "ON" position.
  • Verify that the front panel power button cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's header.
• Fans Not Spinning:
  • Check if all fan power cables are securely connected to the motherboard or fan controller.

  • Ensure your monitor is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports, unless you are using integrated graphics).
  • Reseat the graphics card in its PCI-E slot.
• Component Fit Issues:
