3. Navigate to the Boot menu and set your installation medium as the primary boot device.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the exterior of the case with a soft, dry cloth. Use compressed air to clear dust from vents and fans. Ensure the computer is powered off and unplugged before cleaning.

• Ventilation: Ensure the computer has clear airflow around all vents to prevent overheating.

8. Troubleshooting

• No Power: Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the computer and the wall outlet. Ensure the power switch on the PSU (if present) is in the 'ON' position.
