6. Troubleshooting

6.1 System Does Not Power On

• Ensure all power supply cables are securely connected to the motherboard and components.
• Verify that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's front panel header. Refer to your motherboard manual for the correct pinout.
• Test the power supply independently if possible, or try starting the system by shorting the power pins on the motherboard directly (consult your motherboard manual for this advanced step).

6.2 Fans Not Spinning or RGB Not Lighting Up

• Check that all fan power cables are securely connected to the power supply or motherboard fan headers.
• Ensure RGB cables are properly connected to the motherboard's RGB header or a dedicated RGB controller.
• If the fans are connected via an older IDE power connector, ensure it is fully seated. Note that some older fan connections may not offer speed control via the motherboard.

6.3 Components Do Not Fit

• Re-verify the dimensions of your GPU, CPU cooler, and other components against the specifications provided in Section 3.3 and Section 7.
• Ensure proper orientation during installation.
