Recommended action
1.
Open the hood and ensure the 4 or 6-wire
power supply cable is seated into the
connector on the system board.
2.
Check if a device is causing the problem by
removing ALL attached devices (such as hard,
diskette, or optical drives, and expansion
cards). Power on the system. If the system
enters the POST, then power off and replace
one device at a time and repeat this procedure
until failure occurs. Replace the device that is
causing the failure. Continue adding devices
one at a time to ensure all devices are
functioning properly.
3.
Replace the power supply.
4.
Replace the system board.
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the DIMMs or the
system board, you must unplug the computer power
cord before attempting to reseat, install, or remove
a DIMM module.
1.
Reseat DIMMs.
2.
Replace DIMMs one at a time to isolate the
faulty module.
3.
Replace third-party memory with HP memory.
4.
Replace the system board.
For systems with a graphics card:
1.
Reseat the graphics card.
2.
Replace the graphics card.
3.
Replace the system board.
For systems with integrated graphics, replace the
system board.
Replace the system board.
1.
Reflash the system ROM with the latest BIOS
image.
2.
Replace the system board.
1.
Check that the voltage selector, located on the
rear of the power supply (some models), is set
to the appropriate voltage. Proper voltage
setting depends on your region.
2.
Unplug the AC power cord from the computer,
wait 30 seconds, then plug the power cord
