5-2 CHAPTER 5: TROUBLESHOOTING
Bootup ProblemsApplications Problems
Problem Possible Solution
The computer
does not boot up. 1Check to see if the system is plugged in.
2Check to see if your monitor is plugged into
your video adapter.
3Check to see if the adapter card is properly
seated in the PCI bus expansion slot.
4Try a different PCI slot.
5Remove the adapter and see if the system
boots up and returns to a normal state of
operation.
Problem Possible Solution
A network
application no
longer works.
If the application program worked before the
installation of the adapter, there is probably a
hardware conflict.
Some programs that access the hardware can
cause a conflict at some point. This is typically
associated with hardware such as printers and
modems. If you suspect a hardware conflict,
check the PCI configuration that came with
your system to resolve the problem.
