4. Mantenimiento

El mantenimiento regular ayuda a garantizar la longevidad y el funcionamiento estable de su placa base.

• Eliminación de polvo: Periodically open your computer case and use compressed air to remove dust buildup from the motherboard, CPU cooler, and other components. Dust can impede airflow and cause overheating.
• Comprobaciones de conexión: Ensure all power cables, data cables, and expansion cards are securely seated. Loose connections can lead to system instability.
• Batería del BIOS: The motherboard uses a CR2032 coin cell battery to retain BIOS settings. If your system consistently loses time or BIOS settings, the battery may need replacement.

5. Solución de problemas

Esta sección aborda problemas comunes que podrías encontrar.

• Sin energía/sin POST:
  • Verify all power cables (20-pin ATX, 4-pin 12V) are securely connected.
  • Asegúrese de que la CPU y la RAM estén instaladas correctamente.
  • Compruebe que la fuente de alimentación esté funcionando correctamente.
  • Remove all non-essential components (e.g., extra RAM, expansion cards) and attempt to boot with only the CPU, one RAM stick, and the graphics card.
• Sin pantalla:
  • Ensure the monitor is connected to the graphics card (AGP) and powered on.
  • Reseat the graphics card. Try a different graphics card if available.
  • Check RAM installation. Faulty or improperly seated RAM can prevent display output.
• Inestabilidad/fallos del sistema:
  • Check CPU and chipset temperatures. Ensure CPU cooler is properly installed and fan is spinning.
  • Ejecute herramientas de diagnóstico de memoria para verificar si hay RAM defectuosa.
  • Asegúrese de que todos los controladores estén actualizados.
  • Verifique si hay conexiones sueltas o cables dañados.
• Restablecimiento del BIOS: To clear CMOS settings, locate the CLR_CMOS jumper on the motherboard (refer to the silkscreen). With the system powered off and unplugged, move the jumper from pins 1-2 to 2-3 for 5-10 seconds, then return it to 1-2. Alternatively, remove the BIOS battery for a few minutes.
