Check your computer configuration:
• If the computer configuration corresponds with factory state,
please contact your technical support team.
• If the computer configuration has changed, restore the origi-
nal factory settings. Remove all third-party expansion cards,
then restart the PC. If the error no longer occurs, the third-
party expansion card was the cause of the fault. Replace
this expansion card with a Siemens card or contact the card
supplier.
