• Comproba as conexións de alimentación: Ensure the 24-pin and 8-pin (or 4-pin) CPU power connectors are securely seated.
• Verify PSU: Test your power supply unit (PSU) to ensure it is functional and providing adequate power.
• Reasentar compoñentes: Remove and re-install the CPU, RAM, and graphics card to ensure they are properly seated.
• Borrar CMOS: Refer to your physical manual for instructions on how to clear the CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) settings, which can resolve boot issues.

6.2 Sen saída de pantalla

• Conexión de monitor: Ensure your monitor is correctly connected to the graphics card or motherboard (if using an APU with integrated graphics).
• Tarxeta gráfica: If using a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is properly installed and has sufficient power. Test with another graphics card if possible.
• APU Compatibility: If using an AMD A-Series APU, ensure your monitor is connected to the motherboard's video outputs (VGA, DVI, HDMI). Ryzen CPUs without integrated graphics require a dedicated graphics card.
