Troubleshooting

Giada Mini PC was strictly tested before delivery. It can provide long continuous working period and few failures might occur. You may encounter some simple problems on setup, operation or system compatibility at times you use the product. In this part, we will present the information on how to identify the cause of a failure and how to solve the problems.

Identification

When your PC has a problem, please check it by referring the information provided below:

1. PC has no reaction after the host is powered on. Make sure the power is supplied to the host and the monitor, and check the power supply is normal running state. If the hardware has been upgraded, make sure the new hardware was properly and reliably installed. Check whether all signal cables are properly connected, including cables between the keyboard and host, and mouse and host.
2. Host is automatically shut off. Please check whether the power supply is cut off, or the power adapter is firmly inserted.
3. After the host is started, the start-up information appears. However, the operating system can't be loaded. The start-up order of setup tools is not compatible with the configuration of the PC, or a password is set for your operating system. In the latter case, you should enter the password to load the operating system.
4. Speaker sounds when the system is being electrified. Check whether there is any part inside the host, especially whether the hard disk and memory are properly installed. Note: The shell of the host should be opened only with the assistance of professionals from Giada.
5. When the system is started, it seems the set parameters of the host have been changed. It is possible the BIOS setup made at the time the system exited last time was not saved.
6. PC stops responding Press <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to terminate the program whose response is stopped. If the system can't be restored after a long time, you should press the power switch on the host to turn off the PC, and start it. Then check whether the newly installed hardware is compatible with your system.
7. PC runs slowly and system halted frequently. Use antivirus software to check whether the system is infected. Check whether excessive programs are added when the computer is being started. They may temporarily occupy too many resources. If many programs are installed in your system and the system has not been optimized for a long time, it will also run slowly. In this case, you should run the optimization software programs for the disk, or run the third-party optimization software. If the problem still exists after above measures are taken, it is recommended that the operating system be re-installed.
8. Abnormal display and sound. If some software or game programs can't run normally, you should check whether the software failure is caused by wrong operation (including wrong installation of operating system and driver). Check whether the version of your DirectX is conforming.
9. Sound disappeared abruptly. Check whether the connection between power amplifier and speaker are reliable, and double click the volume icon to see whether the audio part is set as "mute".
10. Can't access to Internet. Check whether the network system is properly connected, or the wireless router runs normally. Check whether the driver for the network equipment is properly installed and the related parameters are correctly set. Finally, make sure the ISP service is still valid.
11. System can't access the information on hard disk. Check whether the hard disk is infected by virus. Note whether the hard disk is detected during the self-detection process.
12. Blue screen and system crash. Check whether the system is infected by virus. If the problem still exists, it is recommended that the operating system be re-installed.
13. PC can't recognize USB devices or USB devices can't run normally. Check whether these devices are properly installed (or the power is turned on), or the latest version of the drive for the device is installed.
14. For some models, when you first install the operating system, after installed display driver, the display resolution settings should be:

After settings are finished securely and tightly, turn your monitor ON and press the power button on your computer. The Power indicated LED will light and please wait until the operating system loads automatically.
