Helpful Hints

If you encounter problems with the computer, monitor, or
software, see the following list of general suggestions before
taking further action:
■
Check that the computer and monitor are plugged into a
working electrical outlet.
■
Check to see that the computer is turned on and the green
power light is on.
■
Check to see that the monitor is turned on and the green
monitor light is on.
■
Turn up the brightness and contrast controls of the monitor if
the monitor is dim.
■
Press and hold any key. If the system beeps, the keyboard
should be operating correctly.
■
Check all cable connections for loose connections or
incorrect connections.
■
Wake the computer by pressing any key on the keyboard or
pressing the power button. If the system remains in standby
mode, shut down the computer by pressing and holding the
power button for at least four seconds then press the power
button again to restart the computer. If the system will not
shut down, unplug the power cord, wait a few seconds, then
plug it in again. The computer will restart if automatic start
on power loss is set in Computer Setup. If it does not restart,
press the power button to start the computer.
■
Reconfigure the computer after installing a non–plug and
play expansion board or other option.
■
Be sure that all the needed device drivers have been installed.
For example, if you are using a printer, you need a driver for
that model printer.
