then check the setup and configuration of your

 

hardware. First run through the items in the

If something goes wrong

Your computer does not respond to the keyboard commands

If an error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard commands, follow the steps below:

Press the power button and hold it down for five seconds. Once the computer has turned itself off, wait between ten and fifteen seconds before turning the power on again by pressing the power button.

Your program stops responding

If you are working with a program that suddenly freezes all operations, chances are the program has stopped responding. You can exit the failed program without shutting down the operating system or closing other programs.

To close a program that has stopped responding:

1.Press CTRL, ALT, and DEL simultaneously (once), then click Start Task Manager. The Windows Task Manager window appears.

2.Click the Applications tab. If a program has stopped responding, the words "not responding" appear beside its name in the list.

3.Select the program you want to close, then click End Task. Closing the failed program should allow you to continue working. If it does not, continue with the next step.

4.Close the remaining programs one by one by selecting the program name, then End Task. Closing all programs should allow you to continue working. If it does not, power off your computer and then restart it.

The computer will not start

Make sure you attached the AC adaptor and power cord/cable properly.
