Frequently asked questions
The following questions are possible situations that may arise during the use of your computer and each is followed by easy answers and solutions to the situation.
Q: I pressed the power switch but the system did not boot up.
A: Check the LED located above the power switch.
If the LED is not lit, no power is being applied to the system. Do any of the following:
• Check if the voltage selector switch located on the rear panel of the computer is set to the correct voltage.
• Check if you plugged the power cable properly into an electrical outlet.
• If you are using a power strip or AVR, make sure that it is plugged in and turned on.
If the LED is lit, check the following:
• Is a nonbootable (nonsystem) diskette in the floppy drive? If yes, remove or replace it with a system diskette and press Ctrl + Alt +
Del to restart your computer.
• The operating system files may be damaged or missing. Insert the startup disk you created during Windows setup into the floppy drive and press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart your computer. This will automatically diagnose your system and make necessary fixes.
However, if the diagnostic utility still reports a problem, then you may have to perform the recovery process to restore your system to its original default factory settings.
Note: For more information about recovering your system, refer
