1.Verify that the cables for all attached devices are connected correctly and securely.

2.Verify that all attached devices that require ac power are connected to properly grounded, functioning electrical outlets.

3.Verify that all attached devices are enabled in the BIOS settings of your computer. For more information about accessing and changing the BIOS settings, refer to your Chapter 7 “Using the Setup Utility program” on page 73.

4.Go to the “Troubleshooting” on page 90 and follow the instructions for the type of problem you are experiencing. If the Troubleshooting information does not help you resolve a problem, continue with the next step.

5.Try using a previously captured configuration to see if a recent change to hardware or software settings has caused a problem.

If the diagnostic programs do not detect a hardware failure, continue with the next step.

7.Use an antivirus program to see if your computer has been infected by a virus. If the program detects a virus, remove the virus.

8.If none of these actions solve the problem, seek technical assistance. See Chapter 11 “Getting information, help, and service” on page 109 for more information.
