After installing your operating system, install the necessary drivers for the motherboard chipset, audio, LAN, Wi-Fi, and other integrated components. These drivers are typically provided on a support DVD or can be downloaded from the official GIGABYTE websitio.

5. Mantemento

5.1 Limpeza

Limpa o interior do teu ordenador con regularidade para evitar a acumulación de po, que pode provocar un sobrequecemento e unha redución do rendemento. Usa aire comprimido para eliminar o po dos compoñentes, especialmente dos disipadores de calor e dos ventiladores. Asegúrate de que o sistema estea apagado e desconectado antes de limpalo.

5.2 Actualizacións da BIOS

Comprobe periodicamente o GIGABYTE website for BIOS updates. Updates can improve system stability, add support for new hardware, or fix known issues. Follow the instructions provided by GIGABYTE carefully when performing a BIOS update.

Utilize the Smart Fan 6 utility in the BIOS or GIGABYTE's software to monitor system temperatures and adjust fan speeds. Proper fan configuration helps maintain optimal operating temperatures and extends component lifespan.

6 Solución de problemas

  • O sistema non se pode iniciar: Check all power connections (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU), ensure RAM modules are properly seated, and verify the CPU is correctly installed. Try clearing the CMOS.
  • Sen saída de visualización: Confirm the graphics card is fully seated in its PCIe slot and connected to power (if required). Ensure your monitor cable is connected to the graphics card, not the motherboard's integrated graphics ports (unless using an APU).
  • Problemas periféricos: If USB devices or other peripherals are not working, ensure drivers are installed and check BIOS settings for port enablement.
  • Inestabilidade/fallos do sistema: This can be caused by outdated drivers, overheating, or faulty hardware. Update drivers, monitor temperatures, and test components individually if possible.
  • Fallo de actualización da BIOS: If a BIOS update fails, use the Q-Flash Plus feature to recover the BIOS.
