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, 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 them down when the system is correctly configured. An
incorrect configuration is a major cause of power-on error
messages, especially for a new system.
2.
Remove the system unit 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.
If you are sure that your configuration values are correct and your
battery is in good condition, the problem may lie in a damaged or
defective chip.
In both cases, contact an authorized service center for assistance.
