Correcting Error Conditions

As a general rule, if an error message says “Press F1 to continue,” it is caused by a configuration problem, which can be easily corrected. An equipment malfunction is more likely to cause a fatal error, that is, an error that causes complete system failure.

Here are some corrective measures for error conditions:

1.Run Setup. You must know the correct configuration values for your system before you enter Setup. Always write them down when the system is correctly configured.

Note: An incorrect configuration is a major cause of power-on error messages, especially for a new system.

2.Remove the system cover. Check that the jumpers on the system board and any expansion boards are set correctly.

3.If you cannot access a new disk, it may be because your disk is not properly formatted. Format the disk first using the FDISK and FORMAT commands.

4.Check that all connectors and boards are securely plugged in.

If you go through the corrective steps above and still receive an error message, the cause may be an equipment malfunction.
