First steps

If you have problems with your computer, try these things first:

■

Make sure that the power cord is connected to your computer and an AC outlet 
and that the AC outlet is supplying power.

■

If you use a power strip or surge protector, make sure that it is turned on.

■

If a peripheral device (such as a keyboard or mouse) does not work, make sure that 
all connections are secure.

■

Make sure that your hard drive is not full.

■

If an error message appears on the screen, write down the exact message. The 
message may help Gateway Customer Care in diagnosing and fixing the problem.

■

If you added or removed peripheral devices, review the installation procedures you 
performed and make sure that you followed each instruction.

■

If an error occurs in a program, see the program’s printed documentation or the 
online help.
