Troubleshooting
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
or diskette. 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 OS
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.
