The Computer Does Not Respond
The computer locks up.
Wait a few moments; if your computer does not respond after a
reasonable length of time, press
Ctrl Alt Del
and follow the
instructions on your screen. If that doesn’t work, turn the
computer off and back on.
Note
If you press
Ctrl Alt Del
or restart the computer, you will lose
any data you did not save.
You may have installed memory using SIMMs that work at the
wrong speed. Install the correct SIMMs. (See “Installing
Memory Modules [SIMMs]” in Chapter 4.) If this doesn’t work,
restore the system to the original configuration, then see if it
works.
Your system may have overheated. Make sure you have an
adequate heat sink installed.
Run the SETUP program and select the fail-safe default values.
(See Chapter 2.) Save your settings and reset the computer.
Your system suddenly stops operating.
You may have overloaded the power supply. See your option
card manuals for the power requirements of your cards. Then
check “Option Slot Power Limits” in Appendix A to see if they
exceed the option slot power limits of your computer.
