Solution:
Your computer might lock when it enters standby mode during a
communication operation. Disable the standby timer when you are
working on the network.
To turn off the computer, press and hold the power switch for 4 seconds
or more.
Problem:
The computer does not start from a device you want, such as a diskette
drive.
Solution:
Refer to the Startup menu of the IBM BIOS Setup Utility. Make sure that
the startup sequence in the IBM BIOS Setup Utility is set so that the
computer starts from the device you want.
Also make sure that the device from which the computer starts is enabled.
In the startup menu in the IBM BIOS Setup Utility, make sure that the
device is included in the ″Boot priority order″ list. If it is included in the
″Excluded from boot order″ list, it is disabled. Select the entry for it in the
list and press the x key. This moves the entry to the ″Boot priority order″
list.
Problem:
The computer does not respond.
Solution:
IRQs for the PCI are all set as 11. The computer does not respond because
it cannot share the IRQ with other devices. Refer to the ThinkPad
Configuration Program.
Problem:
Windows NT does not start; however, the message saying that Windows
NT is loading remains on the screen.
Solution:
The USB setting might have been changed to Enabled. If so, it might cause
a conflict in allocating memory resources during startup. Disable the
setting, using the BIOS Setup Utility.
1. Turn your computer off and then on again; then, while the message,
“To interrupt normal startup, press the blue Access IBM button” is
displayed at the lower left of the screen, press the Access IBM button.

2. Click Access BIOS. The System Restart Required window is displayed.
