Rebuild Your PC’s
Components
If your PC still does not start properly, remove all boards and
accessories, except the hard disk drive. Start the PC. If the PC now
works, add the boards and accessories one at a time to determine which
one is causing the problem.
If you are Unable to Change any Values in Setup
Ensure that you are using the Administrator password and not the User
password
.
If a POST Error Message is Displayed
The Power-On-System-Test (POST) can detect both an error and a
change to the configuration. In either case, an error code and short
description is displayed. Depending on the kind of error, you will have
one or more of these choices available on screen:
•
Press to ignore the message and continue.
•
Press to run
Setup
and correct a system configuration
error
. HP
recommends that you correct the error before proceeding, even if
the PC appears to start successfully.
•
Press to accept (validate) the change and update Setup’s
configuration information.
•
Press to see more details about the message. After viewing
these details, you will be returned to the original POST display
screen. If the message is actually a change to the configuration you
have made (for example, you have just removed some memory), you
can then press
to accept the change and update Setup’s
configuration information. Otherwise, press to ignore the
message and continue, or press to run Setup and correct a
system configuration error . (The number of choices you will have
available are dependent on the kind of error.)
