Basic Troubleshooting

■
Reconfigure your computer after installing a non–plug and play
expansion board or other option. See "Solving Hardware
Installation Problems" for instructions.
■
Be sure that all the needed device drivers have been installed. For
example, if you have connected a printer, you need to install a
printer driver.
■
Remove all diskettes from your system before turning it on.
■
If you have installed an operating system other than the
factory-installed operating system, check to be sure that it is
supported on your system.
■
If your computer has multiple video sources (embedded, PCI, or
AGP adapters) installed (embedded video on select models only)
and a single monitor, the monitor must be plugged into the
monitor connector on the source selected as the primary VGA
adapter. During startup, the other monitor connectors are
disabled; if the monitor is connected into one of these ports, it
will not function. You can select the default VGA source in
Computer (F10) Setup.
CAUTION: When the computer is plugged into an AC power source,
voltage is always being applied to the system board. You must disconnect
the power cord from the power source before opening the computer to
prevent system board or component damage.
This section concentrates on problems that you might encounter
during the initial set up process. A comprehensive Troubleshooting
Guide is available on the Documentation Library CD and under the
