To check if the system board is defective or malfunctioning, follow the troubleshooting 
procedures below as instructed.

Procedure 1    Message Check 
When the power is turned on, the system performs the self-diagnostic Power On Self Test 
(POST) embedded in the BIOS ROM.  The POST tests and initializes each IC on the system 
board. 
‰  If an error message appears on the display, perform Check 1. 
‰  If there is no error message, go to Procedure 2. 
‰  If FREE-DOS or Windows Vista Home Edition is loaded normally, go to Procedure 3. 
Check 1 
If the following error message is displayed on the screen, press the F1 key 
as prompted.  These errors occur when the system configuration 
preserved in the RTC memory (generally called CMOS memory) does not 
match the actual configuration or when the data is lost. 
 
If you press the F1 key as prompted by the message, the TSETUP screen 
appears to set the system configuration.  If the error message appears 
frequently when the power is turned on, replace the RTC battery.  If any 
other error message is displayed, perform Check 2.
