Troubleshooting

PC does not power on

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the PC and the wall outlet. Try a different outlet. Check if the power supply switch on the back (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.

No display on monitor

Verify 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 cable or port.

Slow performance

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Restart the PC. Check Task Manager for resource-heavy processes. Ensure the system and drivers are up to date. Consider upgrading RAM or storage if constantly maxing out resources.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth not connecting

Ensure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled in Windows settings. Restart the PC. Check if the wireless adapter is enabled in Device Manager. Update or reinstall the wireless drivers.
