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 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.
