  • Check that the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the front panel power switch cable is correctly connected to the motherboard's front panel header.
• Fans Not Spinning / RGB Not Lighting:
  • Ensure all fan power cables are securely connected to the motherboard or a fan controller.
  • For RGB, confirm that any necessary RGB headers are connected to the motherboard (though the included fans are fixed RGB and should light up with power).
• Fără ieșire de afișare:
  • Verify that your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card (if installed) and not the motherboard's integrated graphics port.
  • Reinstalați placa grafică în slotul său PCIe.
• Supraîncălzire:
  • Ensure all case fans are spinning and oriented correctly for optimal airflow (intake/exhaust).
  • Curățați toate filtrele de praf și componentele interne.
  • Verify that the CPU cooler is properly seated and making good contact with the CPU.

For more complex issues, consult your component manuals or seek assistance from Xigmatek support or a qualified technician.
