Computer Won’t Boot Up
Your computer fails to start or show any signs of power, leaving you unable to access your operating system or files.
Solution:
When your computer refuses to boot, it can be a perplexing problem. The first step is to check the power source. Ensure that the power cable is securely plugged into both the computer and the outlet. Try using a different power outlet or power strip to rule out electrical issues. If you have a laptop, check if the battery is charged or try booting up with the charger connected. Listen for any beeps during the startup process, as these can indicate hardware issues. Refer to your motherboard’s manual to decode beep codes. Next, unplug all external devices like USB drives and peripherals to rule out conflicts. Open the case and ensure all internal components are seated properly. This includes the RAM, graphics card, and storage drives. If your computer still won’t boot, reset the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery for a few minutes, then reinserting it. If you’re comfortable with it, check the PSU (Power Supply Unit) by connecting it to a different machine or using a power supply tester. If none of these steps work, you may need professional diagnostics to check for failed components like the motherboard or CPU. Regular maintenance and careful handling of components can help prevent such issues.
