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”.
