8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your PC build, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- System Not Powering On:
- Check all power connections, including the PSU to the wall, PSU to motherboard (24-pin and CPU 8-pin), and front panel power switch header to the motherboard.
- Ensure the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Verify the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's F_PANEL header.
- Fans Not Spinning/ARGB Not Lighting Up:
- Confirm fan PWM and ARGB cables are securely connected to the motherboard headers or fan controller.
- Check your motherboard's BIOS/UEFI settings or ARGB software for fan control and lighting configurations.
- No Display Output:
- Ensure your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card (GPU) output, not the motherboard's integrated graphics port (unless using integrated graphics).
- Reseat the graphics card in its PCIe slot.
- Check all power cables to the graphics card.
