Poor performance is experienced.
Cause Solution
Some software applications, especially games, are stressful
on the graphics subsystem
1. Lower the display resolution for the current application
or consult the documentation that came with the
application for suggestions on how to improve
performance by adjusting parameters in the application.
2. Add more memory.
Cause unknown. Restart the computer.
Computer powered off automatically and the Power LED flashes Red two times, once every second, followed by a
two second pause, and the computer beeps two times. (Beeps stop after fifth iteration but LEDs continue flashing).
Cause Solution
Thermal protection activated:
Air flow is restricted, a fan may not be functioning, or the
heatsink is not properly attached.
1. Clean the air vents on the front, back, or any other
vented side of the computer.
2. Ensure that there is a 10.2 cm (4 in) clearance on all
vented sides of the computer to permit the required
airflow.
3. Ensure that computers are not stacked on top of each
other or so near each other that they are subject to
each other's re-circulated or preheated air.
4. If the computer is within an enclosure, ensure that there
is proper intake and exhaust ventilation for the
enclosure.
5. If a message appears on the screen indicating that a
fan is not working, replace the fan.
6. Ensure that the heat sink is properly attached.
