• No Power: Ensure all power cables (PSU to wall, PSU to motherboard, CPU, GPU) are securely connected. Check the power switch on the PSU.
• No Display: Verify that your monitor is connected to the graphics card (not the motherboard's integrated graphics, unless intended) and that the GPU is properly seated and powered.
• Fan Noise: Excessive fan noise can indicate dust buildup or loose fan mounts. Clean fans and ensure they are securely fastened.
• Component Not Detected: Re-seat the component (e.g., RAM, GPU, storage drive) and check all associated power and data cables.

For specific component-related issues, consult the respective component manuals or Cooler Master's support resources.
