Troubleshooting
Workstation does not power on
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to both the workstation and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.
No display output
Verify that the monitor cable is securely connected to both the workstation and the monitor. Try a different port (HDMI or DisplayPort) or a different cable.
Slow performance or system lag
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for resource-heavy processes. Ensure system drivers and Windows are up to date.
