  Check all power connections, including the PSU to the wall, PSU to motherboard, and front panel power switch header to the motherboard. Ensure the PSU switch is in the 'ON' position.
• ARGB Lighting Not Working/Syncing:
  Verify that the ARGB controller is properly connected to the PSU and, if using motherboard sync, that the 3-pin ARGB cable is connected to the correct motherboard header. Ensure motherboard ARGB software is installed and configured correctly.
• Проблеми са прегревањем:
  Ensure all case fans are spinning correctly and oriented for proper airflow (intake/exhaust). Clean dust filters regularly. Verify CPU cooler and GPU cooler are properly seated and functioning.
• Компоненте које не одговарају:
  The DP501 is a mid-tower case. While spacious, some oversized components (e.g., very long graphics cards, large 3-fan liquid coolers) may have fitment challenges, especially when front-mounted. Always check component dimensions against case specifications before purchase.
