Hardware Configuration Problems
It is possible for system hardware components to conflict
with each other. While all the components and subsystems
on the motherboard are designed and tested to work to-
gether, expansion cards and peripheral devices can be a
problem.
Assuming you have gone through the general trouble-
shooting procedures and the system still will not start, if
you have just added new hardware to your system, there
may be a hardware conflict or bug or a problem with a
device driver. Try removing the new hardware and see if
the system will start. If it does, consult with the device
manufacturer for information on solving the problem. In
some cases, a firmware or driver upgrade may resolve
the problem.
Plug and Play Problems
This motherboard supports the automatic recognition and
configuration of expansion cards that support the Plug
and Play (PnP) specification. Most currently available
expansion cards support PnP. PnP simplifies card instal-
lation by allowing the system to handle system resource
allocation. If you install an expansion card that is not
PnP compliant, you may still need to configure the card
manually. Consult the card’s documentation for instruc-
tions or other information.
Replacing the System Configuration Record
As noted previously, the CMOS Setup Utility creates a
system configuration record and stores it in CMOS
memory on the motherboard. This record must be cor-
rect and uncorrupted for the system to operate properly.
It is possible for the system configuration record can be-
come corrupted or lost. If this occurs, the system will not
operate properly or at all. This is not a serious problem.
You can restore a working configuration using the CMOS
Setup Utility to create a new configuration record by load-
ing the Optimized Defaults and reentering any other set-
tings you had made.
