The process

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.

Checking the Cables and Connections

  • Is the power strip on?
  • Is the computer plugged into the power strip?
  • Is the power switch on the back of the power supply on?
  • Is the power supply plugged into the motherboard?
  • Is the power switch connected to the motherboard?

Manually determining the processor information

This is your last resort option. Do not do this unless the instructions told you to.

  • See if you can see the speed without removing anything
  • Remove the heat sink/fan only if necessary
  • See the Note on Processor Speeds below.
