Troubleshooting

Computer does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the PC and the wall outlet. Try a different 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 firmly connected to both the PC and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is powered on and set to the correct input source. Try a different display cable or port.

Slow performance

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-heavy processes. Ensure Windows and drivers are up to date. Consider upgrading RAM if consistently running out of memory.

DVD drive not recognized

Restart the computer. Check Device Manager to ensure the DVD drive is detected. If not, ensure it is properly connected internally (if accessible) or consider driver updates.

Network connectivity issues

Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely plugged in at both ends. Check the network status in Windows. Try a different Ethernet cable or port on your router/switch.
