TROUBLESHOOTING
I tried pulling out all the expansion cards in my system but I’m still not getting a display, what
next?
With a PC Speaker connected to the motherboard (refer to the Multifunction Connector Chart) power off
the system, remove all DIMM modules from the motherboard and power the system on. You should hear
a repeating loop of beeps. If you do not, then you can contact our technical support department.
