Correcting Error Conditions
As a general rule, the "Press F1 to continue" error message is caused
by a configuration problem which can be easily corrected. An
equipment malfunction is more likely to cause a fatal error, i.e., 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, which is why you should
write these values down when the system is correctly configured.
An incorrect Setup configuration is a major cause of power-on
error messages, especially for a new system.
2.
Remove the system cover according to the directions in the
system housing installation guide. Check that the system board
and any expansion boards are set correctly.
3.
Check that all connectors and boards are secure. Consult the
system housing installation guide for assistance.
