Depanare
If you encounter issues, review the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Fără putere: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 4-pin CPU) are securely connected. Check the power supply unit (PSU) switch and wall outlet.
- Fără afișare: Verify the monitor is connected and powered on. Ensure the graphics card (if dedicated) is properly seated and powered. If using integrated graphics, confirm the monitor is connected to the motherboard's video output.
- System Beeps: A series of beeps during startup usually indicates a hardware issue. Consult the motherboard's beep code guide (often found on the manufacturer's support website) to diagnose the specific problem (e.g., RAM error, graphics card issue).
- Instabilitate/Blocaje ale sistemului: Check for proper CPU cooler installation and thermal paste application. Ensure RAM modules are correctly seated. Test memory with diagnostic tools. Update drivers and BIOS.
- Operating System Not Loading: Verify the boot order in BIOS/UEFI. Check SATA cable connections to storage devices. Ensure the operating system is correctly installed on a bootable drive.
