Troubleshooting
Steps
• Power off computer, leaving the computer plugged in. Press and hold the power supply

the problem may be with your system board.
• If the LED next to the switch does not illuminate, disconnect all internal and external
peripherals, and press and hold the power supply test button. If it illuminates, there
could be a problem with a peripheral.
• If the LED still does not illuminate, remove the PSU connections from the system board,
then press and hold the power supply button. If it illuminates, there could be a problem
with the system board.
• If the LED still does not illuminate, the problem is with the power supply.

Problem Description Memory modules are detected, but a memory power failure has occurred.
Troubleshooting Steps
• If two or more memory modules are installed, remove the modules, then re-install one
module and re-start the computer. If the computer starts normally, continue to install
additional memory modules (one at a time) until you have identified a faulty module or
reinstalled all modules without error. If only one memory module is installed, try
moving it to a different DIMM connector and re-start the computer.
• If available, install verified working memory of the same type into your computer.
