Troubleshooting

PC does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the PC and a working power outlet. Check if the power supply switch on the back of the PC is in the 'on' position.

No display on monitor

Verify that the monitor cable is securely connected to both the PC and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source. Try a different video port or cable if available.

Slow performance or lagging

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-hungry processes. Ensure the system has the latest Windows updates and drivers. Consider upgrading RAM if multitasking needs are high.

Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection issues

Restart your router and modem. Ensure the Ethernet cable is properly connected. Check network adapter status in Windows settings. Update network drivers.
