Try resetting the system.
Make sure all cables are installed correctly.
Verify that the system board jumpers are set properly.
Verify that your system hardware configuration is set correctly. In
Setup, check the values against the system settings you recorded
previously. If an error is evident (wrong type of drive specified, for
example), make the change in Setup and reboot the system. Record
your change.
Make sure the software is properly configured for the system. Refer to
the software documentation for information.
Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the
copy you are using.
If other software runs correctly on the system, contact the vendor of
the software that fails.
If you check all of the above with no success, try clearing CMOS
RAM and reconfiguring the system. Make sure you have your list of
system settings available to re-enter, because clearing CMOS RAM
sets the options to their default values.
