Hardware and system checklist

This section discusses problems caused by your computer’s hardware or

attached peripherals. Basic problems may occur in the following areas:

Software

The problems may be caused by your software. If you

cannot load a software package, the media may be

damaged or the program might be corrupted. Try loading

another copy of the software.
If an error message appears while you are using a software

package, check the software documentation. These

documents usually include a problem solving section or a

summary of error messages.
Next, check any error messages in the operating system

documentation.

Hardware

If you cannot find a software problem, check your hardware.

First run through the items in the preliminary checklist

above. If you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify

the source. The next section provides checklists for

individual components and peripherals.
