• Determine if a conflict exists by removing an expansion card (not a graphics card) and
restarting the computer.
• If the problem persists, reinstall the card you removed, then remove a different card
and restart the computer.
• Repeat this process for each expansion card installed. If the computer starts normally,
troubleshoot the last card removed from the computer for resource conflicts.
• Clear CMOS.
• Disconnect all internal and external peripherals, and restart the computer. If the
computer boots, add the peripheral cards back one by one until you find the bad one.
• If the problem persists, the system board / system board component is faulty.
• Ensure that the display/monitor is plugged into a discrete graphic card.
• Ensure that all hard drives and optical drive cables are properly connected to the
system board.
• If there is an error message on the screen identifying a problem with a device ( hard
drive), check the device to make sure it is functioning properly.
