This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more detailed troubleshooting, refer to the comprehensive manual on the Support CD or ASRock's webwebsted.

• Ingen strøm: Ensure all power cables (24-pin ATX, 4-pin ATX 12V) are securely connected to the motherboard and the power supply is switched on. Check the power button connection to the front panel header.
• Ingen visning: Verify that the monitor is connected to the correct video output (onboard or discrete graphics card). Reseat the graphics card and memory modules. Check for bent CPU socket pins if the issue persists after initial installation.
• Systemustabilitet/nedbrud: This can be caused by incompatible or faulty memory, an improperly seated CPU, or overheating. Check memory compatibility, reseat components, and ensure adequate cooling. Update drivers and BIOS.
• Operativsystemet starter ikke op: Check the boot order in BIOS/UEFI. Ensure the SATA data and power cables are correctly connected to the storage drive. Reinstall the operating system if necessary.
• USB Ports Remain Powered After Shutdown: This is a common behavior on some motherboards. If this is undesirable, check the BIOS/UEFI settings for options related to "Deep Sleep" or "ErP Ready" which might control power to USB ports in shutdown states.
