If Something Goes Wrong Fixing device-related problems 214 After running the test, read the part of this section that describes problems and solutions related to specific devices. Memory card problems Incorrectly connected or faulty memory modules may cause errors that seem to be device-related. So it is worthwhile checking for these first: 1 Click Start, then click Shut Down. 2 Click the button next to Shut down, then click OK. Windows Millennium Edition shuts down and turns off the computer automatically. 3 Remove the memory module. 4 Reinstall the memory module, following the instructions in Installing additional memory (optional) on page 36, and making sure it is seated properly. 5 Check for the error again. 6 If the error recurs, remove the memory module entirely and check for the error again. If removing the memory module eliminates the error, the memory module may be faulty. If the error recurs without the memory module installed, the error is not caused by the memory module. Power and the batteries Your computer receives its power through the AC adapter and power cable or from the system batteries (main battery and real-time clock (RTC) battery). Power problems are interrelated. For example, a faulty AC adapter or power cable will neither power the computer nor recharge the batteries. Part II: Technical Reference
