My Computer Won’t Start

What does it mean when your computer won’t start? If your computer has difficulty in booting up, or suddenly shuts off, it could be a sign that your power supply is going bad. Start from the wall first, though. Make sure that your surge protector is plugged into the wall outlet, and then check the power cord of your computer. Make sure it’s not loose or frayed.

If your cord’s fine, move your computer to another outlet and test it there. If it is your power supply, get it into a computer repair shop. Why can’t you fix it yourself? Well, for one thing, if you don’t have any sort of grounding, while you may receive a mild amount of static discharge that is harmless to you, static can permanently damage your motherboard, hard drive, memory chips, or even your CPU.

Computer Starts, Windows Won’t Boot Up

If your computer boots up, but Windows, does not, first off don’t panic. Wait a couple of minutes, then power off your system. Unplug your system from the power connection. Let your system sit powered down and unplugged for about two to three minutes, then plug it back in and power it up. If Windows still isn’t booting, it usually means there is a problem with the Windows software itself. Usually, at this point the only thing that you can really do by yourself, is to install the Windows software again. A compotent repair technician has an arsenal of esoteric tricks that my help repair the operating system and in reloading Windows by yourself, you run the risk of losing your data permanently.

If you have tried the simple fixes and you’re still having a problem, you want to get your computer into a computer repair shop as soon as you can.
