FAQs
Acer is dedicated in bringing you a reliable and easy to maintain
computer. However, we realize that some problems may arise
unexpectedly. Below are possible questions that may arise during the
use of your computer with corresponding easy troubleshooting
solutions to the situation.
Q:
I pressed the power button on but the system did not boot up.
A:
Check the power indicator.
If the indicator is not lit, no power is being applied to the system. Do
the following:
•
Check if you plugged the power cable properly into an electrical
outlet.
•
Check if the main power switch located on the rear panel of the
computer is turned on.
•
Check if the voltage selector switch located on the rear panel of
the computer is set to the correct voltage.
•
If you are using a power strip or AVR, make sure that it is plugged
in and turned on.
If the indicator 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.
Caution!
Using the Recovery CD will erase all files previously
saved in your computer so make sure to back up your important
files before starting the recovery process. Refer to the Veriton
5200 series Online guide for instructions on the recovery process.
