Completely dead: No lights or fan movement
Zero power draw. Typically caused by tripped wall socket, PSU rocker switch, or unplugged front panel header.
Immediate Step:
Bridge ONLY the two motherboard PWR_SW pins with a flathead screwdriver (never touch 12V RGB or USB headers) to test for a faulty case switch.
Fans spin for half a second then immediately shut off
Short circuit protection (SCP) trips immediately to prevent component burning.
Immediate Step:
Unplug AC power cord first, then disconnect front USB 3.0 header and all SATA RGB cables. Check for bent pins inside USB ports.
Fans spin, monitor black, solid DRAM debug LED
Memory training failure or unseated DDR4/DDR5 RAM module.
Immediate Step:
Unplug AC power and press power button to discharge charge, then remove all RAM sticks. Insert only one stick firmly into slot A2 until both clips click audibly.
BIOS time and memory settings reset on every boot
Depleted CR2032 3V coin cell battery loses CMOS NVRAM whenever AC power cord is switched off.
Immediate Step:
Unplug AC power cord, then replace the CR2032 coin battery on motherboard with a fresh 3V cell (positive + side facing up).
