Troubleshooting

No power on system startup

Verify that the 24-pin ATX and 8-pin CPU power cables are securely connected to the motherboard and the PSU. Ensure the PSU switch is on and the power outlet is functional.

CPU not detected or system won't boot

Confirm the CPU is correctly seated in the LGA 1851 socket and that the retention bracket is properly secured. Check the CPU power connectors. Clear CMOS if necessary.

RAM not recognized or unstable

Ensure DDR5 DIMMs are installed in the correct slots as per the manual (usually A2 and B2 for dual-channel). Reseat the RAM modules. Check for motherboard BIOS updates, as newer versions often improve memory compatibility.

M.2 SSD not detected

Verify the M.2 SSD is correctly installed and screwed down. Ensure the M.2 slot is enabled in the BIOS settings. Check if the M.2 slot shares bandwidth with SATA ports and if any SATA devices need to be disconnected.

Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity issues

Ensure the Wi-Fi antenna is connected. Install the latest network drivers from the MSI website. Check the BIOS settings to confirm onboard LAN and Wi-Fi are enabled.
