Hello to all,
I recently assembled my first PC and everything appears to function properly, except for the power-up process. When I press the start button, all components activate—fans, RGB lights, etc.—but the screen remains dark for about ten seconds. During that time, the power switch flashes white before it resumes normal operation. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for your time and help.

Coolermaster is the manufacturer of the device, and 700W represents its claimed power output, while 80+ bronze indicates its efficiency rating.
Have you connected the front panel connectors correctly? Many experienced builders—both seasoned professionals and hobbyists—have made this error.
Thank you for your message. Here is the revised version:
For your reference, this video demonstrates how to connect almost everything. I have the Power LED + and -, power switch, and HDD LED cables as shown in the video. However, the reset cable I connected to the PWM hub from the case allows me to change the fan colors. Still, just for clarity, it seems it doesn't function properly when pressed—only the fan color changes are adjustable via the motherboard software.
