Troubleshooting
Workstation does not power on.
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the workstation and a functional power outlet. Verify the power outlet is working by testing with another device. Check if the power supply unit switch (if present) is in the 'on' position.
No display signal on monitor.
Confirm that the monitor is powered on and connected to the correct input. Ensure the DisplayPort cable is securely plugged into both the graphics card and the monitor. Try a different DisplayPort cable or monitor if available. Verify the correct display output is selected on the monitor.
Slow performance or freezing.
Close unnecessary applications running in the background. Check Task Manager for high CPU or RAM usage and identify resource-intensive processes. Ensure the operating system and drivers are up to date. Restart the workstation. For persistent issues, consider checking for hardware diagnostics or potential overheating.
Network connectivity issues (Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
Restart the router and modem. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected. For Wi-Fi, check that Wi-Fi is enabled on the workstation and that you are connected to the correct network. Update the network adapter drivers. Try connecting via Ethernet if Wi-Fi is problematic, or vice-versa.
USB devices are not recognized.
Try plugging the USB device into a different USB port. Ensure the USB device is functioning correctly by testing it on another computer. Update USB controller drivers through Windows Device Manager.
