5. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display output | Incorrect cable connection, insufficient power, unseated card, missing drivers. | Ensure display cables are secure. Verify both 8-pin power connectors are plugged in. Reseat the graphics card in the PCIe slot. Install or update drivers. |
| Low frame rates or poor performance | Outdated drivers, incorrect game settings, thermal throttling, insufficient system resources. | Update graphics drivers. Adjust in-game graphics settings. Ensure proper case airflow and clean card fans. Check CPU/RAM usage. |
| System crashes or freezes | Unstable drivers, overheating, power supply issues. | Perform a clean driver reinstallation. Monitor GPU temperatures. Verify power supply wattage meets recommendations. |
