    		<h1 style="font-size: 2.5em; color: #444; margin-bottom: 20px;">Step 5: Install the Motherboard</h1>
    		<p style="font-size: 1.2em; margin: 20px 0;">
        	Installing the motherboard is a crucial step in building your computer. It involves carefully placing the motherboard into the case while ensuring everything is aligned properly to avoid any damage.
    		</p>

    		<h3 style="font-size: 1.4em; color: #444; margin-top: 20px;">1. Open the Computer Case:</h3>
    		<p style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 20px 0;">
        	Begin by removing the screws or any clips that secure the case together. Set the case aside in a safe location to avoid damaging the internal components.
    		</p>

    		<h3 style="font-size: 1.4em; color: #444; margin-top: 20px;">2. Install the I/O Shield:</h3>
    		<p style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 20px 0;">
        	The I/O shield is a metal plate that comes with your motherboard. It fits into a rectangular opening on the back of your computer case. Make sure it aligns properly with the ports of your motherboard. Press it firmly into place until it clicks.
    		</p>

    		<h3 style="font-size: 1.4em; color: #444; margin-top: 20px;">3. Install the Standoffs:</h3>
    		<p style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 20px 0;">
        	Standoffs are small metal screws or pegs that prevent the motherboard from making contact with the case. They should be installed in the mounting holes that match your motherboard's layout. These are essential for grounding the motherboard and ensuring proper airflow.
    		</p>

    		<h3 style="font-size: 1.4em; color: #444; margin-top: 20px;">4. Apply Thermal Paste:</h3>
    		<p style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 20px 0;">
        	Before installing the CPU cooler, apply a small amount of thermal paste onto the top of the CPU. The thermal paste helps ensure optimal heat transfer between the CPU and the cooler.
    		</p>

    		<h3 style="font-size: 1.4em; color: #444; margin-top: 20px;">5. Install the CPU Cooler:</h3>
    		<p style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 20px 0;">
        	Follow the specific instructions provided with your CPU cooler for installation. Attach the cooler securely to the CPU, making sure it is oriented correctly and mounted firmly in place.
    		</p>

    		<h3 style="font-size: 1.4em; color: #444; margin-top: 20px;">6. Install the Motherboard:</h3>
    		<p style="font-size: 1.1em; margin: 20px 0;">
        	Carefully place the motherboard into the case, aligning it with the standoffs and I/O shield. Secure it by using the screws provided with the motherboard. Ensure that all ports align correctly with the case and that no cables are obstructing the installation.
    		</p>

    		<p style="font-size: 1.2em; margin-top: 40px;">
        	Once the motherboard is installed and secured, you are ready to proceed with <a href="step6.html" style="color: #007BFF; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;">Step 6</a>.
