Troubleshooting

PC fails to 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.

Restart your router and modem. Ensure the network drivers are up-to-date. Check the physical cable connection for Ethernet. For Wi-Fi, ensure you are within range and the network settings are correct.
