Troubleshooting
Steps

Determine if a conflict exists by removing an expansion card (not a graphics card) and

restarting the computer.

If the problem persists, reinstall the card you removed, then remove a different card

and restart the computer.

Repeat this process for each expansion card installed. If the computer starts normally,

troubleshoot the last card removed from the computer for resource conflicts.
