In this modern society, most of us owns and use PCs, and meanwhile, we always annoyed by the same problems of laptops. Now, I’d like to share the most common problems and solutions to better make use of the amazing tools.
Common PC hardware and the solutions
Computer Freeze
Heat is the measure Reason for PC hardware problems. Ensure if it’s computer freeze or lockup. Generally, your computer temperature is controlled by the internal fan called the Heat Sink. Dust is another enemy of PC hardware as it sticks on motherboard and electrical components. You can control overheating by removing dust from around the internal fan.
System Error Blue Screen
Often it is seen that a blue screen appears suddenly while you are working or when you start your computer. This is usually due to either a hardware failure or a driver problem. Reinstalling the driver or correcting the hardware problem can help to solve the issue. If nothing seems to work, you should consider backing up and re-formatting your Hard Drive, then reinstalling your operating system.
RAM Faults and Errors
Whenever RAM fault occurs your monitor shows a blue screen with a memory reference like x000xxxx as a boot interruption. RAM faults cannot be prevented but you can fix them. There may be frequent PC restarts. This is due to faulty RAM chips. These Faulty RAM chips are unable to store the boot loader or NT loader file therefore the OS cannot find it and hence it shuts down all the processes, due to non-availability of the boot loader file in the RAM as a result the PC restarts again and again.
This problem can be fixed by replacing the old RAM with a new one. You must know the model compatibility of you motherboard before buying a new RAM. It may be DDR, DDR2 or DDR3. Just do it!
Laptop’s dead
The laptop does not turn on at all no matter what you do. There are several possible scenarios that may lead to this outcome including the battery draining completely because of a malfunctioning AC adapter. Maybe the DC jack has to be replaced because it makes no contact with the motherboard. The worst scenario by far is the one with the failed motherboard. If that is the case, just go and buy yourself a new laptop.
Noisy Computer
It means that the computer system is making noise while running. The reason of Noisy Computer is Dirty Fan. The dust particles sticks on the Fan including the Heat Sink and other parts such as Motherboard and other electrical parts of computer .This dust Blocks the smooth action of Fan and causing the fan to make noise.
Clean your system completely by removing motherboard from its place and also clean the Fan and Heat sink with a brush or soft cloth.
Liquid spilled on laptop
For some careless guys, it’s easy to spill something on the laptop and it’s stopped working. Liquid spills are very dangerous and unpredictable. If it happened, turn off the laptop ASAP, remove the battery and do not use it until all internal parts are inspected for liquid damage.
