Processor problems

Problem

Cause

Solution

Poor performance is experienced.

Processor is hot.

Be sure the airflow to the workstation is not blocked.

Be sure the fans are connected and working properly
(some fans only operate when needed).

Be sure the processor heatsink is installed properly.

Power LED is red and stays on.

Solving DVD problems

Table 6-15

DVD problems

Problem

Cause

Solution

System does not boot from DVD
drive.

The DVD boot is not enabled
through the Computer Setup
(F10) Utility.

Run the Computer Setup (F10) Utility and enable booting
to removable media and verify boot order settings.

Nonbootable CD in drive.

Try a bootable CD in the drive.

DVD devices are not detected or
the driver is not loaded.

Drive is not connected properly
or not properly configured.

Reconnect power and data cables to the drive.

Install correct device driver.

Movie does not play in the DVD
drive.

Movie might be regionalized
for a different country.

See the documentation included with the DVD drive.

Decoder software is not
installed.

Install decoder software.

Cannot eject CD (tray-load unit).

Disc not properly seated in the
drive.

Power off the workstation and insert a thin metal rod
(such as a paper clip) into the emergency eject hole
and push firmly.

Slowly pull the tray out from the drive until the tray is
fully extended, and then remove the disc.

CD-RW or DVD-R/RW drive
cannot read a disc or takes too long
to start.

CD has been inserted upside
down.

Reinsert the CD with the label facing up.

The DVD-ROM drive takes
longer to start because it has to
determine the type of media
played, such as audio or video.

Wait at least 30 seconds to let the DVD-ROM drive
determine the type of media being played. If the disc still
does not start, read the other solutions listed for this topic.

DVD disc is dirty.

Clean DVD with a CD cleaning kit.
