6. Кыйынчылыктарды

• Система жүктөлбөй жатат:
  • Бардык электр байланыштарын текшериңиз (24-пин ATX, 4-пин CPU, GPU).
  • RAM модулдары өз уячаларына туура жайгаштырылышын текшериңиз.
  • CPU орнотууну жана муздаткыч байланышты текшериңиз.
  • Негизги компоненттер менен гана жүктөөгө аракет кылыңыз (CPU, бир RAM флешкасы, эгерде интеграцияланган графика жок болсо, GPU).
• Дисплей чыгышы жок:
  • Ensure your monitor is connected to the correct port (either motherboard's integrated graphics port if using an APU, or dedicated graphics card port).
  • Check if the graphics card is properly seated and has power.
  • If using an APU, ensure your CPU supports integrated graphics.
• CPU Compatibility Issues:
  • The B450 chipset supports a wide range of AM4 CPUs. However, newer Ryzen CPUs (e.g., some 5000 series) may require a BIOS update to function correctly. Check the MAXSUN website for a list of supported CPUs and required BIOS versions.
  • If you are installing a newer CPU and experiencing issues, consider updating the BIOS using an older, compatible CPU if necessary.
