GREEN Chart

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?
- Some motherboards have a 4 pin connector (as well as the 20 or 24 pin connector). Make sure that this is also plugged in properly.
Is the power switch connected to the motherboard?

Alternative method for determining the processor information

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

Is the computer marked with the model number or speed?
- Use this information. (You may need to google the model number.)
If (and only if) that does not work:
1. Check with an instructor
2. See if you can see the speed without removing anything
3. Remove the heat sink/fan only if necessary
4. You may need a magnifying glass. (See instructor.)
