Ultimate Checklist On How To Revive A Dead Computer
Its not something we like to think about but your computer will fail,
if you keep it long enough.It may be a simple problem,such as the
floppy drive not reading the disk to a major system crash.
Because computers are run by operators,User Error is the most
common cause of computer malfunction.When the user is at the
computer,he or she may add or delete certain files.Or he/she may
remove or exchange certain hardware features.
When we look at user error,we must remember that since we're
human,the user error may be easy to solve by simply asking
the last user if he/she installed any software,re-configured any
software or hardware settings,etc.
A large percentage of computer malfunctions are due to
environmental factors such as power surges caused by lightning,
resulting in overvoltage.
Another cause for failure may be room temperature being too high
or low,as well as dust,dirt,or sunlight.If you're in business and
heavily dependent on your computers,such fators as room
temperature,sunlight and protection against power surges is of the
utmost importance and simply cannot be overlooked.
The most common pc problem is when you can't access your PC
at all.When you turn on the power switch,NOTHING HAPPENS.
Here is a quick checklist of troublshooting procedures you should
follow if you encounter this problem .We also have videos you
can download from the Internet should you need assistance in just
how to perform these procedures:
Try the Power Switch a second or third time.If nothing happens..
Check the wall outlet for power.If the outlet has power.
Check the power cord itself from wall to computer.

a new system.

Another big headache you will most likely encounter if you're a
regular user of your computer system,is the fact that Windows will
fail to load or the system's POST will fail to run.Download the file
below to learn much more about the Power On Self Test.Don't forget
those preventive maintenance procedures that can be done often to
keep your PC running at peek performance.
Running such Windows ultilities as Scandisk,Disk Defragment,and
Disk Cleanup will help your computer performing at its best.Using a
can of compressed air removes dust that could build to the point of
causing a short.
If you get the computer to boot but it does not want to read from
the hard drive'the Master Boot Record on the hard drive may be
corrupted or even missing.To verify that the master boot record has
not been damaged...
Boot from the floppy disk that contains the FDISK program and type
the command " fdisk mbr " to restore the master boot record onto your
hard drive.
