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

• Sen enerxía:
  • Check if the power supply is connected correctly to the motherboard (24-pin and 4-pin connectors).
  • Asegúrese de que o interruptor da fonte de alimentación estea na posición "ON".
  • Verify that the front panel power switch connector is correctly attached to the motherboard header.
• Sen visualización:
  • Ensure the monitor is connected to the correct video output (VGA or HDMI on the motherboard, or a dedicated graphics card).
  • Check if the RAM modules are properly seated in their slots. Try reseating them.
  • If using a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is fully seated in the PCIe slot and has auxiliary power connected (if required).
  • Tenta arrincar cunha soa memoria RAM.
• Inestabilidade/fallos do sistema:
  • Comproba as temperaturas da CPU e da GPU. O sobrequecemento pode causar inestabilidade.
  • Asegúrate de que todos os controladores estean instalados e actualizados.
