4. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

4.1. L-Ewwel Bidu

• Wara li l-komponenti kollha jkunu installati u konnessi, daħħal il-provvista tal-enerġija tiegħek u ixgħel is-sistema.
• The system should power on and display the BIOS/UEFI splash screen.

4.2. Aċċess għall-BIOS/UEFI

• During boot-up, repeatedly press the designated key (usually DEL, F2, or F10) to enter the BIOS/UEFI setup utility.
• Here you can configure boot order, system time, and other advanced settings.

6 Issolvi l-problemi

• Ebda Qawwa/Ebda POST:
  • Iċċekkja l-konnessjonijiet kollha tal-enerġija (24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU).
  • Kun żgur li s-CPU u r-RAM huma mqiegħda sew.
  • Ipprova boot bil-komponenti essenzjali biss (CPU, RAM stick wieħed, GPU jekk m'hemmx grafika integrata).
• Ebda Display:
  • Verify monitor connection and input source.
  • If using a dedicated graphics card, ensure it is properly seated and powered.
  • If your CPU has integrated graphics, try connecting the monitor directly to the motherboard's video output.
