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.
