Clearing CMOS
1. Turn off the computer and any external devices, and disconnect the power cord from the
power outlet.
2. Remove the chassis access panel.
3. Locate the jumper labeled E69.
4. Remove the blue CMOS jumper from pins 4 and 6 and put the jumper on pins 2 and 4. This
clears CMOS.
5. Put the jumper back on pins 4 and 6.
6. Replace the chassis access panel and reconnect the power cord.
Turn on the computer and allow it to start.

protection activated:
A fan may be
blocked or
not turning.
OR
The heatsink/fan
assembly is not
properly
attached to the pro-
cessor.
1. Ensure the computer air vents are
not blocked and the processor col-
ling fan is running.
2. Open hood, press power button, and
see if the processor fan spins. If the
processor fan is not spinning, make
sure the fan's cable is plugged onto
the system board header. Ensure the
fan is fully/properly seated and
installed.
3. If fan is plugged in and seated prop-
erly, but is not spinning, then
replace processor fan.
4. Reseat processor heatsink and verify
that the fan assembly is properly
attached.
5. Contact an authorized reseller or
service provider.
Red Power LED
flashes five times,
once every sec-
ond, followed by
a two second
pause. Beeps stop
after fifth iteration
but LEDs con-
tinue until prob-
lem is solved.
5 Pre-video memory
error.
CAUTION: To avoid damage to the
DIMMs or the system board, you must
unplug the computer power cord
before attempting to reseat, install, or
remove a DIMM module.
1. Reseat DIMMs.
2. Replace DIMMs one at a time to
isolate the faulty module.
3. Replace third-party memory with
HP memory.
4. Replace the system board.
Red Power LED
flashes six times,
once every sec-
ond, followed by
a two second

but LEDs con-
tinue until prob-
lem is solved.
6 Pre-video graphics
error.
For systems with a graphics card:
1. Reseat the graphics card.
2. Replace the graphics card.
3. Replace the system board.
For systems with integrated graphics,
replace the system board.
