Troubleshooting
■ Restart the notebook by selecting Start > Turn Off
Computer > Restart.
■ Some file browsers respond slowly while processing graphics
or waiting for broken network connections to time out.
■ If the notebook hard drive frequently runs (as indicated by
the hard drive light on the front of the notebook) while the
notebook appears to be paused or running slowly, Windows is
likely spending excess time writing to its swap file on the
notebook hard disk. If this occurs frequently, consider
installing additional memory.
■ Check the amount of available free disk space. Delete
temporary and unneeded files.
If the Notebook Stops Responding
■ Press ctrl+alt+del and use Task Manager to end the application
that is not responding.
■ Press the power button for at least 4 seconds to turn off and
reset the notebook. Unsaved data will be lost. Then press the
power button again to turn the notebook back on.
■ If nothing happens, insert the tip of a paper clip into the
reset button on the bottom of the notebook. Then press
the power button to turn the notebook back on.
■ To avoid lockup problems, avoid turning the notebook off or
putting it into Standby while graphic-intensive applications
are running.
Power and Battery Pack Problems
