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 non-bootable (non-system) 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 start-

up 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,
