Resolución de problemas

Se tes problemas, consulta os seguintes pasos comúns para a resolución de problemas:

• Sen alimentación/Sen arranque: Double-check all power connections (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, GPU power). Ensure the power supply switch is on. Try reseating RAM modules.
• Sen visualización: Ensure your monitor is connected to the correct video output (either motherboard or discrete GPU). Try reseating the graphics card.
• M.2 SSD Not Detected: Verify the M.2 SSD is fully seated and secured. Check BIOS settings to ensure the M.2 slot is enabled and not conflicting with SATA ports (refer to your motherboard manual for specific configurations).
• Inestabilidade/fallos do sistema: This can often be related to RAM. Ensure RAM is properly seated and running at stable speeds (try disabling XMP if enabled). Check CPU and GPU temperatures.
• Problemas co sistema operativo: Ensure all drivers are installed correctly. Consider reinstalling the operating system if software corruption is suspected.
