Troubleshooting

Memory Issues

If you have installed incompatible memory modules, the system may not

boot. Verify the memory you've installed has been tested with your board. If

the installed memory is compatible, remove and reinstall the memory

modules.
Defective memory modules may cause boot errors. To isolate a specific

memory module as defective, boot the system with just one memory module

installed at a time.

Monitor Issues

Monitor configurations can cause boot failure. Run through the following

checklist to verify monitor operation:

• Ensure the monitor is plugged in and turned on.
• Ensure all cables are connected properly between the monitor and the

computer.

• Check that the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor are not too

low.

Most monitors employ indicator LEDs showing status. Refer to the monitor's

documentation to confirm operation. If the problem still persists, test or

replace the monitor on a different AC outlet/different system.

Power Supply and Chassis Issues

• Ensure that the chassis and power supply is appropriate for the processor

model and frequency.

• Ensure all power cables and connectors are firmly connected to the power

supply and the AC outlet.
