    TROUBLESHOOTING FAILURE TO BOOT AFTER INSTALLING AN INTEL MATH COPROCESSOR

    
       The following solutions can help you troubleshoot any installation
    
       problems with  your math coprocessor.
    
    
    
       There are several immediate troubleshooting solutions you can use if you
    
       install  your the math coprocessor and your computer fails to boot.
    
       First, you should: 
    
    
    
       Check your manual for any jumpers or switches that may need to be set.
    
    
    
       Check your manual to see if there is a setup or configuration program
    
       that  needs to be run once you have installed the math coprocessor.
    
    
    
       Be sure that the math coprocessor is completely seated. Look to see if
    
       the  chip is seated flush in the socket and that one corner is not
    
       higher than  the others. Try pushing down on each corner.
    
    
    
       Check that pin 1 on the math coprocessor matches pin 1 on the socket 
    
       and/or the system board.
    
    
    
       If these suggestions don't help, remove the math coprocessor and check
    
       for any  bent or broken pins and make sure the socket is clean and free
    
       of dust. Then,  reseat the math coprocessor.  
    
    
    
       If you have access to another computer that is compatible with this math
    
        coprocessor, install the math coprocessor in the second computer to
    
       determine if the  problem is with the chip or the computer.
    
    
    
       If your computer boots partially, but you are experiencing problems with
    
       drives or  other accessories, check to ensure that you have fully seated
    
       all cables and cards.
    
    
    
       If you need a math coprocessor extraction tool, contact  your local
    
       dealer.
