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.
