Look and Listen

Looking at and listening to your computer is important in determining the source of a problem. Look and listen for the indications described in Table 3-1.

If the problem is still not resolved, see the next sub- section, “Setup Options.”

NOTE: Before you begin any of the troubleshooting pro- cedures, make sure the Quiet Boot option is set to Disabled in the Main menu of the Setup program. See Chapter 2, “Customizing System Features,” for informa- tion on using the Setup program.
