3 Troubleshooting Your PC If Your PC Does Not Start Properly 1 Turn off the display, the computer, and all external devices. 2 Unplug all power cords and cables, noting their positions. Disconnect the PC from any telecommunications network. 3 Remove the cover. 4 Check the system board switches. Refer to "System Board Switches", on page 49. Be sure the Secure Switch is set to "open". 5 Replace the cover. 6 Reconnect all cables and power cords. 7 Turn on the display and computer. If a POST Error Message is Displayed The Power-On-System-Test (POST) can detect both an error and a change to the configuration. In either case, an error code and short description is displayed. Depending on the kind of error, you will have one or more of these choices available on screen: • Press to ignore the message and continue. • Press to run Setup and correct a system configuration error. HP recommends that you correct the error before proceeding, even if the PC appears to start successfully. • Press to accept (validate) the change and update Setup's configuration information. • Press to see more details about the message. After viewing these details, you will be returned to the original POST display screen. If the message is actually a change to the configuration you have made (for example, you have just removed some memory), you can then press to accept the change and update Setup's configuration information. Otherwise, press to ignore the message and continue, or press to run Setup and correct a system configuration error. (The number of choices you will have available are dependent on the kind of error.) English 37
