No power when the system is turned on
Verify the ATX power supply is correctly seated and all necessary cables are connected to the motherboard and components. Check the wall outlet and power cord.

Ensure all fans are spinning correctly. Optimize cable management to improve airflow. Consider adding case fans if possible or upgrading to more efficient cooling solutions. Ensure dust filters are clean.
USB or Audio ports not working
Check that the front panel USB and audio cables are securely connected to the correct headers on the motherboard. Consult your motherboard manual for header locations.
