2-3.8 Troubleshooting at First Start
l
What should I do if the Motherboard refuses to start?
1.
Check that all DIMM memory modules are inserted completely. Sometimes a
DIMM that is not inserted properly can cause boot problems.
2.
Check whether all Add-on cards have been inserted properly. Re-insert the
Add-on cards to make sure that they make proper contact with the slots. Try
removing all Add-on cards one by one to see whether or not one of them is
causing problems. (Switch the system off before removing any of the cards.
3.
Verify that speed settings are not exceeding specifications. This applies to the
PCI bus, that is specified to run at 33 MHz. Also check the speed setting for
the memory, make sure conservative setting is used. If the CPU is
overclocked the system may not start up, read the section below.
4.
Make sure that the Harddisk IDE cables are attached properly, if not the
system will not boot. In case of doubt try reversing the IDE connector on one
end of the cable.
5.
Verify that the 110/220V switch on the back of the power supply is set
correctly.
6.
Go through the jumper setting section again to make sure that all jumpers are
set correctly.
