Q: How to get a quick response for my request on technical support?
A: Please carry out a simple troubleshooting before sending "Technical Support Form":
System boot-up fails after the system had been assembled:
Check the motherboard's supporting specifications first to see if all the key components
attached in your system can meet.
To do so, you may:
•
Remove all the unnecessary add-on devices (except the CPU, VGA card, DRAM, and
Power Supply), and then reboot.
•
If the trouble still exists, try another VGA card of different brand/model to see if the
system will start.
•
If the trouble still exists, try another memory module of different brand/model.
•
If the trouble still exists, try another CPU and Power Supply.
If the system runs successfully, shut it down and start re-installing the interface cards and
devices that were previously installed in the system. Re-install and start the system one at a
time until the system won't start.
Malfunction in the OS:
If the system hangs after resuming from S3 or some testing program, if the CPU cannot be
recognized properly, if the display resolution mixed, or if a certain program cannot be
executed, etc, you may:
•
Upgrade the motherboard's latest BIOS version.
•
Upgrade the add-on device's latest driver version.
•
Check if there is any conflict in the "Control Panel/System Properties".
