First, check the power supply connections and ensure the outlet is functioning. Try using a different power cable if available. If the issue persists, remove any external peripherals and attempt to boot again. If none of these steps work, consider consulting Lenovo support or a technician.

Insert the new RAM module into an available slot, ensuring it clicks into place. Close the case and reconnect the cables before powering on the computer.

Check the audio output device settings to ensure the correct device is selected. Update audio drivers via Device Manager. Ensure the volume is not muted and troubleshoot using the built-in audio troubleshooter. Test with external speakers or headphones to isolate the issue.
Ensure the ventilation openings are not blocked and clean the fans with compressed air. Check for high CPU usage applications and close them if necessary. Consider using a cooling pad and ensure the BIOS is updated to help manage thermal performance.
