Troubleshooting
PC does not power on after installation.
Verify that the PSU is securely connected to the wall outlet and the motherboard's 24-pin and CPU power connectors are properly seated. Check if the PSU switch on the back is in the 'I' (on) position.
System becomes unstable or shuts down during heavy load.
Ensure all power cables, especially CPU and PCIe connectors, are fully inserted into both the PSU and the components. Check if your components' power demands exceed the PSU's 850W capacity. Verify ATX 3.1 / PCIe 5.1 compatibility if using latest-gen hardware.
Fans on the PSU are not spinning.
The PSU fan may not spin under low load conditions as part of its efficiency design. If the system is under significant load and the fan is not spinning, check for overheating warnings or contact support.
