  • Page 138: Static Precautions

    Problem Solving This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that may occur during system installation or while using your system. The first section of this chapter tells you how to reset your system in the event of problems. The next few sections provide troubleshooting checklists and procedural steps that help you isolate specific system problems.

  • Page 139: Troubleshooting Checklists

    Troubleshooting Checklists The following subsections provide troubleshooting checklists for problems that occur at initial system startup, when you run new application software, and after the system hardware and software have been running correctly. Initial System Startup Incorrect installation or configuration usually causes problems that occur at initial system startup.

  • Page 140: Running New Application Software

    Running New Application Software Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software. Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other software runs correctly. If you have problems while running new application software, check the following: Does the system meet the minimum hardware requirements for the software? Refer to the software documentation.

  • Page 141: After System Has Been Running Correctly

    After System Has Been Running Correctly Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running correctly often indicate equipment failure. However, many situations that are easy to correct can also cause such problems. If you have problems after the system has been running correctly, check the following: If you are running the software from a diskette or CD-ROM, try a new copy of the software.

  • Page 142: Diagnostic Testing

    Diagnostic Testing This section provides a more detailed approach to diagnostic testing and identification of a problem and locating its source. Error Checking Each time you turn on the system, POST (Power-On-Self-Test) runs automatically and checks the system boards, processors, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.

  • Page 143: Monitoring Post

    Monitoring POST Each time you turn on the system, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) runs automatically and checks the system board, processor board, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test.

    Characters are Distorted or Incorrect Check the following: Are the brightness and contrast controls properly adjusted on the video display? Refer to the documentation supplied with your video display. Are the video monitor's signal and power cables properly installed? If the problem persists, the video monitor may be faulty or it may be the incorrect type.

  • Page 148: Problems With Application Software

    Problems with Application Software If you have problems with application software, perform the following: Verify that the software is properly configured for the system. Refer to the software installation and operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software.

  • Page 149: Plug And Play Installation Tips

    Plug and Play Installation Tips Some common PCI tips are listed here. Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for an ISA adapter. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings an ISA card is using. Use the BIOS Setup Utility to keep track of ISA adapter resources. Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers.

  • Page 150: Post Error Codes And Messages

    POST Error Codes and Messages Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, BIOS displays a message on the video display screen and causes the speaker to beep as the message appears. BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails or if an external ROM module does not a checksum of zero.
