Basic troubleshooting

For basic troubleshooting tips, read this section.

WARNING!

When the computer is plugged into an AC power source, voltage is always applied to the system

board. To reduce the risk of personal injury from electric shock, hot surfaces, or both, be sure to disconnect

the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before you touch

them.

If you have problems with the computer, try the appropriate solutions as described in the previous sections

and summarized here to try to isolate the exact problem before you call for technical support.

If the screen is blank, plug the monitor into a different video port on the computer if one is available, or

replace the monitor with a monitor that you know is functioning properly.

If your monitor is connected with a cable adapter (for example, DP-to-DVI adapter), replace the adapter

with one that you know is functioning properly.

If you are working on a network:

Use a different network cable to connect your computer to the network.

Connect a different computer with a different cable to the network.

If your problem is not resolved, the network jack on your computer or the network wall jack might be

faulty.

If you recently added new hardware, remove the hardware.

If you recently installed new software, uninstall the software.

If a USB storage device is connected to the computer, disconnect the device.

If the computer will turn on but the operating system will not start, run the preboot diagnostics utility, HP

PC Hardware Diagnostics. See

Using HP PC Hardware Diagnostics on page 28
