manual abstract
A plug and play board may not automatically configure when added if the default configuration conflicts with other devices. Use Windows Device Manager to deselect the automatic settings for the board and choose a basic configuration that does not cause a resource conflict. You can also use Computer Setup to reconfigure or disable devices to resolve the resource conflict. USB ports on the computer are disabled in Computer Setup. Enter Computer Setup (F10) and enable the USB ports. Computer will not start. Cause Solution Wrong memory modules were used in the upgrade 1. Review the documentation that came with the or memory modules were installed in the wrong system to determine if you are using the location. correct memory modules and to verify the proper installation. NOTE: DIMM 1 must always be installed. 2. Observe the beeps and LED lights on the front of the computer. Beeps and flashing LEDs are codes for specific problems. 3. If you still cannot resolve the issue, contact Customer Support. Table 2 Solving Hardware Installation Problems (continued) Power LED flashes Red five times, once every second, followed by a two second pause, and thecomputer beeps five times. (Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue flashing.) Cause Solution Memory is installed incorrectly or is bad. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the DIMMs or the system board, you must unplug the computer power cord before attempting to reseat, install, or remove a DIMM module. 1. Reseat DIMMs. Power on the system. 2. Replace DIMMs one at a time to isolate the faulty module. NOTE: DIMM 1 must always be installed. 3. Replace third-party memory with HP memory. 4. Replace the system board. Power LED flashes Red six times, once every second, followed by a two second pause, and the computer beeps six times. (Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue flashing.) Cause Solution Graphics card is not seated properly or is bad, or For systems with a graphics card: system board is bad. 1. Reseat the graphics card. Power on the system. 2. Replace the graphics card. 3. Replace the system board. For systems with integrated graphics, replace the system board.

(Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue flashing.) Cause Solution Bad option card. 1. Check each option card by removing the cards one at time (if multiple cards), then power on the system to see if fault goes away. 2. Once bad card is identified, remove and replace bad option card. 3. Replace the system board. Interpreting POST Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes This section covers the front panel LED codes as well as the audible codes that may occur before or during POST that do not necessarily have an error code or text message associated with them. 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 electrical shock and/or hot surfaces, be sure to disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet and allow the internal system components to cool before touching. Look for the LED between the DIMM sockets. If the LED is illuminated, the system still has power. Power off the computer and remove the power cord before proceeding. NOTE: If you see flashing LEDs on a PS/2 keyboard, look for flashing LEDs on the front panel of the computer and refer to the following table to determine the front panel LED codes. Recommended actions in the following table are listed in the order in which they should be performed. Not all diagnostic lights and audible codes are available on all models. Table 3 Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes Activity Beeps Possible Cause Recommended Action Green Power LED On. None Computer on. None Table 3 Diagnostic Front Panel LEDs and Audible Codes (continued) Activity Beeps Possible Cause Recommended Action Green Power LED flashes every two seconds. None Computer in Suspend to RAM mode (some models only) or normal Suspend mode. None required. Press any key or move the mouse to wake the computer. Red Power LED flashes two times, once every second, followed by a two second pause. Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue until problem is solved. 2 Processor thermal protection activated: A fan may be blocked or not turning. OR The heatsink/fan assembly is not properly attached to the processor. 1. Ensure that the computer air vents are not blocked and the processor cooling fan is running. 2. Open hood, press power button, and see if the processor fan spins. If the processor fan is not spinning, make sure the fan's cable is plugged onto the system board header. 3. If fan is plugged in, but is not spinning, then replace heatsink/fan assembly. 4. Contact an authorized reseller or service provider. Red Power LED flashes 3 Processor not 1.
