Yes it takes an extra 45 seconds to three minutes, but I've followed this procedure ever since I temped for Perot Systems almost 20 years ago.
Next is check power on all components, then the cabling (if any).Īfter that comes the comprehensive troubleshooting.īTW, you should ALWAYS follow proper shutdown procedures close the project, then quit the program, then power down, then shut off the system power (power conditioner). When you get back power the computer back up, open the software, then open the project on which you were working. Take a quick break to clear your mind and calm down your first instinct is to panic. Go for a glass of water, or have a cigarette, or do something else for five minutes. That's always the first thing to do when there is a problem - close the program and then shut down the computer (not restart!).
