2. Umhlahlandlela Wokufaka
2.1. Ukufakwa kwe-CPU
Carefully open the CPU socket lever and lift the cover. Align the golden arrow on your AMD Ryzen processor with the corresponding arrow on the motherboard's AM5 socket. Gently place the CPU into the socket without applying force. Once seated, close the socket cover and secure it with the lever. The protective plastic cover will automatically detach upon proper installation.

4. Isondlo
- Ukuhlanza: Hlanza njalo uthuli oluvela kubhodi lomama kanye nezingxenye usebenzisa umoya ocindezelwe. Qinisekisa ukuthi uhlelo luvuliwe futhi aluxhunyiwe ngaphambi kokuhlanza.
- Izibuyekezo ze-BIOS: Keep your BIOS updated to ensure compatibility with new hardware and to benefit from performance improvements and bug fixes. Use the Q-Flash Plus feature for convenient BIOS updates without needing a CPU or RAM installed.
- Izibuyekezo Zomshayeli: Ensure all drivers for your motherboard components (chipset, LAN, Wi-Fi, audio) are up-to-date. Visit the GIGABYTE official webisayithi labashayeli bakamuva.
5. Ukuxazulula izinkinga
- Akukho Ukuboniswa/Ukuqaliswa: Double-check all power connections, CPU, RAM, and graphics card seating. Ensure your monitor is connected to the correct display output.
- Izinkinga Zokuhambisana Ne-RAM: If experiencing boot issues after installing new RAM, perform a BIOS update using Q-Flash Plus. Some users have reported improved RAM compatibility after updating the BIOS.
- Izinkinga Zokuxhumaniseka Kwenethiwekhi: Verify LAN cable connection or Wi-Fi antenna installation. Ensure network drivers are installed and updated. Check router/modem status.
- Ukungazinzi Kwesistimu: Ensure proper cooling for all components. Check for loose connections or improperly seated components. Consider running diagnostic tools for CPU, RAM, and storage.
