Booting Problems?
It happens to even the best of us. You power up your PC and, for one reason or another, it won’t boot into its operating system.
The most frightening scenario is when you press the power button and nothing happens at all. No lights go up, no fans spin, and you don’t hear the familiar chatter of the hard discs. It’s as if there’s simply no power at all. Panic time? Here are some tips to help you troubleshoot this problem:
The first thing to do is to check outside the computer. This may sound like a stupid question, but… is the computer plugged in?
If it is, make sure the switch on the power supply is in the on position; then check the power strip, surge protector, uninterruptable power supply (UPS), or wall outlet the computer’s plugged into. Is there power coming from the source? Is the middleman plugged in and switched on? Check the breaker or the fuse if necessary.
