Troubleshooting

Workstation does not power on

Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the workstation and a functioning power outlet. Check if the power supply switch on the back is in the 'on' position. Try a different power outlet.

Poor performance or system lag

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Ensure all drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers, are up to date. Check if the system's cooling vents are clear of obstructions. Restart the workstation.

Display issues (no signal, flickering)

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

Network connectivity problems (Wi-Fi or Ethernet)
