During computer use, various issues may arise, such as failure to boot, continuous restarting, or sluggish performance. Most of these problems can be resolved through simple inspections and troubleshooting. Below are some common computer malfunctions, their possible causes, and corresponding solutions.
Power Issues: Power supply failure or forgetting to turn on the power switch.
Power Button Issues: Improperly connected case button or loose wiring.
Check if the power supply is functioning properly.
Inspect hardware installation, especially ensuring the RAM and power cables are securely connected.
Verify that the case button is correctly wired to the motherboard.
Monitor Issues: The screen is turned off, faulty, or the incorrect input source is selected.
Graphics Card Issues: The graphics card is faulty or not properly connected to the motherboard.
Ensure the monitor is powered on and receiving the correct signal input.
Reinsert the graphics card and clean the gold contacts using an eraser.
Test booting using an integrated GPU to check if the display works.
RAM is not properly installed.
The CPU cooler is not functioning correctly, causing the processor to overheat and shut down.
Insufficient power supply wattage, triggering automatic shutdown.
Reinsert the RAM and ensure it is firmly seated.
Check if the CPU cooler has thermal paste applied and is operating normally.
Use a power supply wattage calculator to verify if the power supply is sufficient.
Insufficient RAM capacity.
Lack of hard drive space or hard drive failure.
Too many running programs consuming CPU and RAM resources for extended periods.
Upgrade the RAM capacity.
Add a new hard drive or replace the existing one.
Use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC) to close unnecessary programs.
Most common computer issues stem from hardware or software problems. However, using elimination and cross-testing methods can resolve most issues.
If the problem persists, consider contacting the component manufacturer or a computer repair shop for further diagnosis!
