Recommended Action
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 heat sink/fan assembly.
4. Contact an authorized reseller or service
provider.
1. Check to see that the processor is present.
2. Reseat the processor.
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 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.
