Overview
The key to success when troubleshooting the system hardware is to isolate the problem to a specific
system component. The first step is to compare what the system is doing to what it should be doing.
Because a startup problem can usually be attributed to a single component, it is more efficient to isolate
the problem to a subsystem rather than troubleshoot each separate component in the system.
