Troubleshooting

Device does not power on.

Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the PC and a functional power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on. Try a different power outlet.

Display issues (no signal, flickering).

Verify that the display cable is securely connected to both the PC and the monitor. Ensure the monitor is set to the correct input source. Try a different display cable or port. Update graphics drivers.

Slow performance.

Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Ensure the system is not overheating; check that vents are clear. Update Windows and all drivers, especially graphics and chipset drivers.

Network connectivity problems.

Check the network cable connection (if wired) or Wi-Fi settings (if wireless). Restart your router and modem. Update network adapter drivers.

Application crashes or freezes.

Ensure the application and your operating system are up to date. Check if the application is ISV certified for this hardware configuration. Reinstall the application if the problem persists.
