Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
The hard disk takes longer to read a file
• If you have been using the drive for a period, the files may be fragmented. Go to [Start > Programs > Accessories > System
Tools > Disk Defragmenter] to perform a disk defragmentation. This operation may take a while.
• Interrupt requests or problems with other hardware devices may have occupied the CPU and therefore slows down the
system performance.
The files are corrupted
• Run the Error-checking utility in Windows to check the HDD. Double-click My Computer. Right-click C: and select
Properties. Click Check Now in Error-checking in Tools.
Display Problems
The display panel is blank when the system is turned on
• Make sure the computer is not in the Standby or Hibernate suspend modes. The display is turned off to conserve energy
in these modes.
The screen is difficult to read
• The display resolution should at least be set to at least 1280x800 for optimal viewing.
- Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel] and double-click the Display icon.
- Under the Settings page, set screen resolution to at least 1280x800 and choose at least high(65536) colors.
The screen flickers
• It is normal if the display flickers a few times during shutting down or powering up.
