Solving computer problems Diagnosing problems If you have a problem with your computer, you can test it by using PC-Doctor for Windows. To run PC-Doctor for Windows, do as follows: 1. Click Start. 2. Move the pointer to All Programs and then to PC-Doctor for Windows. 3. Click PC-Doctor. 4. Choose one of the tests, from either Device Categories or Test Scripts. Attention Running any tests may take up to several minutes or longer. Make sure you have time to run the entire test; do not interrupt the test while it is running. The System Test of the Test Scripts runs some tests of critical hardware components, but it does not run all of the diagnostic tests in PC-Doctor for Windows. If PC-Doctor for Windows reports that all of the tests in the System Test have been run and that it has found no problems, consider running more of the tests in PC-Doctor for Windows. If you are preparing to contact the Support Center, be sure to print the test log so that you can rapidly provide information to the help technician. Troubleshooting If you do not find your problem here, refer to your on-board help system. To open ThinkVantage Productivity Center, press the Access IBM button. The following section only describes problems that might prevent you from accessing the help system. Error messages Notes: 1. In the charts, x can be any character. 2. The version of PC-Doctor referred to here is PC-Doctor for Windows. Message 0175: Bad CRC1, stop POST task 0176: System Security The System has been tampered with.

To clear the error, enter the BIOS Setup Utility, press F9 to set values to default, then press F10 to save changes. If this does not solve the problem, have the computer serviced. 12 ThinkPad®X41 Tablet Service and Troubleshooting Guide
