PROBLEM CHECKLIST

Solving Problems

Your system has a built-in checking program that
automatically tests its components when you turn the
system unit power on. If there is a problem, the system
displays an error message. If this happens, follow any
instructions on the screen.
If screen messages do not help or an error message does
not appear, use the information in this chapter to determine
and solve the problem. The problem is often one that you
can solve yourself.
First check the items in the following list. If these do not
help, see the table that follows the list. If you still cannot
determine the problem, see "If You Need Assistance" in
this chapter.
Check that the following conditions are true for your
computer:
n
The power switch for each component is on.
n
All cables and power cords are tightly connected.
n
The electrical outlet to which your components are
connected is working. Test the outlet by plugging in a
lamp or other electrical device.
n
The monitor's brightness and contrast controls are
adjusted properly.
n
All option boards in the expansion slots are seated
securely in their connectors.
