Do these indicators light up within seconds after the boot routine starts? Yes. Proceed to step 4.

No. Troubleshoot the power subsystem.

4.While the boot routine is running, observe the computer for any of the following:

Diskette-drive and hard-disk drive access indicator activity

These indicators light in response to data being transferred to or from the drives. If either of these indicators fails to light during the boot routine, troubleshoot the diskette drive or hard-disk drive subsystem, as appropriate.
