Troubleshooting

Workstation will not power on.

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the workstation and a functioning power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on. If not, try a different power outlet.

Poor performance or system lag.

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Ensure all system drivers and Windows updates are installed. Check for any potential software conflicts or malware. Verify that the workstation is not overheating; ensure vents are clear.

Display issues (no image, flickering, wrong resolution).

Verify that all display cables are securely connected to both the workstation and the monitor(s). Ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source. Update your graphics drivers. If using multiple displays, confirm the configuration is supported and correctly set in Windows display settings.

Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection problems.

Ensure Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled in Windows settings. Try restarting the workstation and your router. Update or reinstall the wireless adapter drivers from the HP support website.

NVMe SSD not recognized.

Check in the BIOS settings to see if the SSD is detected. If it is not detected in BIOS, there might be a hardware issue. If detected in BIOS but not in Windows, check Disk Management to see if it needs initialization or formatting.
