Troubleshooting Your System

Troubleshooting the Video Subsystem

1 Check the system and power connections to the monitor.
2 Check the video interface cabling from the system to the monitor.
3 Run the appropriate online diagnostic test. See "Running the System

Diagnostics" on page 111.
If the tests run successfully, the problem is not related to video hardware.
If the tests fail, see "Getting Help" on page 119.

Troubleshooting a USB Device

Use the following steps to troubleshoot a USB keyboard /mouse. For other

USB devices, go to step 4.

1 Disconnect the keyboard and mouse cables from the system briefly and

reconnect them.

2 Connect the keyboard/mouse to the USB port(s) on the opposite side of

the system.

3 If the problem is resolved, restart the system, enter the System Setup

program, and check if the non functioning USB ports are enabled.

4 Replace the keyboard/mouse with another working keyboard/mouse.
5 If the problem is resolved, replace the faulty keyboard/mouse.
6 If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step to begin

troubleshooting the other USB devices attached to the system.

7 Power down all attached USB devices and disconnect them from the system.
8 Restart the system and, if your keyboard is functioning, enter the system

setup program. Verify that all USB ports are enabled. See "Integrated

Devices Screen" on page 31.
If your keyboard is not functioning, you can also use remote access. If the

system is not accessible, see "Disabling a Forgotten Password" on page 118

for instructions on setting the NVRAM_CLR jumper inside your system

and restoring the BIOS to the default settings.
