Power Symptom Computer will not turn on or start. Error message: Invalid system disk or Non-System disk or disk error. Computer does not turn off when the On button is pressed. Computer shuts down automatically. Computer displays the wrong date and time. Computer displays a processor speed that is lower than expected. Possible solution Ensure that cables connecting the computer to the external power source are plugged in properly.

If the display (monitor) is blank, the monitor may not be properly connected. Connect the monitor to the computer, plug it in, and turn it on. See "Display (Monitor)" on page 10. Set the line voltage selection switch to the correct setting for your country/region, or refer to the Limited Warranty and Support Guide to contact Support. Test the wall outlet by connecting a different electrical device to it. Incompatible memory (RAM) may have been installed. Reinstall the old memory to return your computer to its original state.
