VI. Troubleshooting

Giada Mini PC was designed with the latest technologies and 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.

www.giadatech.com

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.When you first install the operating system, after installed display driver, the

display resolution settings should be:

⑴

If only connected the HDMI devices, the default display mode is single mode,

and the display device is notebook. The maximum rate can achieve 1366X768,

(can also set other higher resolution, but the screen will be missed). If you

connected to the CRT display device at this moment, the screen will not display.

Please press CTRL + ALT + F1 to switch for the Intel (R) Dual Display Clone mode

after enter the operating system.

⑵

If only connected CRT display device, the default display mode is the Intel ®

Dual Display Clone mode, the best resolution if the display is greater than

1366X768, will not achieve the best resolution display devices, display devices

www.giadatech.com

need to manually set the most good resolution

Steps: right click desktop -> click “screen resolution” -> Settings "resolution"

⑶

If HDMI and CRT display devices were connected at the same time, the default

display mode is the Intel (R) Dual Display clone mode, the maximum resolution

can be up to 1366x768 (can also set other higher resolution, but the HDMI display

Hwill be missed)..
