Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your G18 begins with connecting the provided 380W AC adapter, as the hardware requires consistent power for peak performance. During the initial Windows 11 setup, ensure you are connected to a high-speed network to download necessary firmware updates and drivers. For optimal longevity, keep the air vents free from dust and avoid using the device on soft surfaces like beds or carpets which can obstruct airflow. Use the 'Armoury Crate' software to monitor system temperatures and customize your RGB lighting profiles. When traveling, use a backpack designed for 18-inch laptops to protect the display assembly.
