Safety first

Power off and unplug before opening a desktop. Laptops vary — check your OEM service manual. Static precautions matter.

Firmware & drivers

Update BIOS/UEFI from your PC maker (Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, etc.), then chipset drivers. Windows Update alone is not always enough for OEM devices.
