■

■

A software program, software driver, or the operating system
■
software may be corrupted, erased, or damaged. You can use
Application Recovery or System Recovery to reinstall the software.
Refer to "Application and System Recovery" in the Warranty and
Support Guide that came with your PC.
It's possible that a voltage spike, power outage, or brownout has
■
occurred. Symptoms of voltage spikes include a flickering video
display, unexpected computer startups, and the computer not
responding to your commands. A voltage spike can occasionally
corrupt or destroy files, so it is a good idea to consistently make
backup copies of your data files. Prevent voltage spikes by
installing a surge suppressor made for use with computers between
the power outlet and the computer power cord.
