This article provides a detailed explanation of what each slot on a motherboard represents and aims to offer corresponding assistance. It will greatly help in providing a thorough analysis. This analysis is based on the H610-VH motherboard.
1: Motherboard power slot. If it is not plugged in or the motherboard does not respond, we can first check if there is power here.
2: CPU power supply, which mainly supplies power to the CPU. If our computer frequently restarts when turned on, we can consider whether the CPU power supply is insufficient.
3: SATA hard drive data interface. If we suddenly see a screen full of English or enter the BIOS when starting up, we can consider whether the hard drive is damaged.
4: CPU slot. If we want to upgrade the CPU, we need to remove the CPU from here and reinstall it.
5: Graphics card slot. The graphics card slot is mainly used to read the graphics card. Of course, some graphics cards do not require additional power. If our screen suddenly does not display, we can consider whether it is a graphics card issue, especially if it is a discrete graphics card.
6: Memory slots. If our computer does not light up the keyboard when starting or reports error 0x000007b, we can consider a memory issue. Generally, removing it and cleaning the gold fingers with an eraser can help.
7: CPU fan power supply. If this is not plugged in, it may cause the CPU temperature to rise too high, leading to CPU damage, and a CPU fan error may be reported on startup.
8: M.2 solid-state drive slot. This can be plugged in or not, similar to the SATA hard drive interface. This hard drive does not require additional power operations.
9: Power switch and reset button slot and indicator light. If after assembling your computer, pressing the power button yields no response, we can consider whether this is plugged in correctly.
10: Front USB 3.0 interface. This interface cannot be plugged into all hosts, and if not plugged in, the front USB ports will not work.
11: Front audio interface. If this interface is not plugged in, it may cause our front audio interface to be unusable.
All of the above are personal insights. If there are differing opinions or if explanations are insufficient, feel free to leave comments. If there are computer issues, you can add our studio in the image below.
