3.Watch the Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock indicators on the upper- right corner of the keyboard.

Do these indicators flash on and off within approximately 10 seconds after the boot routine starts?

No. Troubleshoot the system power supplies. If the troubleshooting procedure indicates that the system power supplies are operational, troubleshoot the memory.
