7. If the system issues a series of beeps before the display device initializes,
a fatal error has occurred. Generally, it is a problem associated with the
system memory. Refer to the section on “Beep Codes” later in this
chapter.
8. Observe the system’s “Startup” sequence. The system should successfully
complete each of the steps described in the “Typical Startup Sequence.”
If the system does not complete each of the steps, the component
activated during that step may be faulty. Call Kontron technical support
for help or advice if the “Startup” sequence cannot be entirely executed.
9. If the system issues any error messages during the startup sequence, take
the appropriate corrective action described under “Error Messages” in
this chapter.
10. If you isolate the problem to a specific device, refer to the user’s manual
which came with that device and try to fix the problem yourself.
11. If you are experiencing problems with a particular software program, try
re-running that program. If the problem keeps arising, see the program’s
documentation for instructions on setting up the program parameters.
If your system passes all these steps and is now functioning properly, be sure
to turn “Off” your system and re-connect any peripheral devices that you
disconnected during your troubleshooting effort. If all these steps have been
taken and the problem is still occurring, call Kontron technical support for
advice.
Conflicting Device Drivers
Incompatible or conflicting device drivers (that probably run perfectly when
other conflicting drivers are not present) are another frequent cause of
problems. Isolating this problem requires identifying the offending drivers by
removing all the drivers in your system, then re-installing them, one at a time,
until you duplicate the problem. Then, if possible, re-configure the problem
drivers to work with the rest of the system.
