When
I turn on my computer, it says "invalid system
disk". What do I do?
First,
check to be sure there is not a diskette in the floppy
drive. If there is, remove it and reboot. If this
does not solve the problem, chances are your boot
files on your hard disk have become corrupted. If
you are an advanced user you can clear the boot sector
and re-sys the disk to get the boot files back. If
in doubt, bring your computer in for repair.
When
I turn on my computer, all it does is make beeps and
the monitor doesn't show any video. What do I do?
The
beep sequence represents a specific POST error. You
may have bad RAM, system board, CPU or peripheral
card causing this problem. Bring your computer in
for a diagnostic to pinpoint the origination of the
error message.
My
computer is making a loud clicking noise. What is
going on?
A
loud clicking noise can represent an eminent hard
disk failure. Usually the platters in your drive are
failing. Shut down your computer IMMEDIATELY and bring
it in for service. Your data must be saved immediately
or you could risk losing everything on the drive.
