10 Quick Setup & Getting Started
Solution
Run virus protection program.
1. Close unnecessary applications to free up memory.
2. Add more memory.
1. Lower the display resolution for the current application or
consult the documentation that came with the application
for suggestions on how to improve performance by
adjusting parameters in the application.
2. Add more memory.
3. Upgrade the graphics solution.
Restart the computer.
Solution
1. Ensure that the computer air vents are not blocked and
the processor cooling fan is running.
2. Open hood, press power button, and see if the processor
fan spins. If the processor fan is not spinning, make sure
the fan's cable is plugged onto the system board header.
3. If fan is plugged in, but is not spinning, then replace the
heatsink/fan assembly.
4. Contact an authorized reseller or service provider.
Solution
Press and hold the power button for less than 4 seconds. If the
hard drive LED turns green, then:
1. Check that the voltage selector, located on the rear of the
power supply on some models, is set to the appropriate
voltage. Proper voltage setting depends on your region.
2. Remove the expansion cards one at a time until the
5V_aux light on the system board turns on.
3. Replace the system board.
