Reset NVRAM and SMC to troubleshoot Intel Macs

To troubleshoot issues on Intel-based Macs, users can reset the NVRAM and SMC. M-Series Macs do not have these options; instead, users should shut down and restart the device to allow automatic checks. Resetting NVRAM can help with problems like incorrect screen resolution or sound settings. For Intel Macs, hold Command-Option-P-R during startup. M-Series Macs automatically check NVRAM during boot. The SMC controls power management and other functions on Intel Macs. To reset it, users must shut down the Mac and follow specific steps based on the model. M-Series Macs do not have an SMC, as these functions are integrated into the M chip.
