  If your Asus Desktop system often hangs or freezes, send the damaged hard disk drive to ASUS Service Center for servicing, or replace it with a new hard disk drive. Replace with compatible memory modules, or remove the extra memory modules that you have installed, then try again. Move your computer to an area with better air flow, reinstall the OS, and reinstall compatible software.

  Refer to your Asus Desktop computer’s user manual for the correct port. Disconnect and reconnect the speaker to your computer. Try using another speaker or headphone. Try both the front and back audio ports. If one port failed, check if the port is set to multi-channel. Reinstall the audio driver.
