Troubleshooting

PC does not power on

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

No display output

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 after OS installation

Check if all necessary drivers, especially chipset and storage drivers, are installed and up to date. Ensure the operating system is fully updated. Close unnecessary background applications.

USB devices not recognized

Try plugging the device into a different USB port. Update USB drivers via the Lenovo support website or Device Manager. Restart the PC.

Overheating or fan noise

Ensure the PC's vents are clear of obstructions. Clean dust from the vents and internal components (if comfortable doing so and following proper anti-static procedures). Consider placing the PC in a more open area.
