Computer Won't Boot Up

A few ideas below ought to give you some reasons why your computer may not be booting up:

•  The hard drive is gone bad. In case you are getting a mistake "No boot disk", it is feasible that the hard drive is gone bad or there is a corruption in the OS.
• Your power supply may not be supplying power for your PC to fully boot up.
• Your computer can possibly be overheated, causing the computer to turn off every time it turns on.
• In case you cannot even get power from your computer, your motherboard could have gone bad or your power supply could be defective.
• In case you are getting a blue screen of death (BSOD), try googling the error code (which is usually at the bottom beginning with 0x). Hopefully you have another computer to Google this error code on. In case you don't, try taking parts out of your computer after the other. If this BSOD is AFTER you past the Windows Logo, it is likely you have an infection on your PC. Try booting in Safe Mode.

Plenty of times people experience this issue, & it is not always caused by a virus or bad hardware. I have seen historically in the past where people have fundamentally ran updates to a program & this resulted in their computer being unbootable. I have also seen where Windows Updates have caused black error messages on reboot, stopping the user from going any further than their manufacturer logo.

In the event you feel you have malware (Trojan, virus, etc.), you ought to always have your knowledge backed up. Try booting in to Safe Mode & seeing in case you can get through there. Usually, in case you are infected with malware, you won't run in to the issues you normally run in to while you are in Safe Mode, however, you are more limited to what you can do on the computer. Safe Mode is what I'd recommend jogging malware scans in. I say that because since malware has low chances of jogging in Safe Mode, it'd be a great idea to run a full scan & detect any & all infections.

Majority of the time, you can boot using a boot CD to get in to your PC in case you cannot get to it through your operating method (OS). Boot CDs normally give you much more troubleshooting features than you would have booting in to Safe Mode or any other modes in your OS. Boot CDs let you boot to another OS (stored on the CD) & gives you the capability of browsing your internal hard drive. This is a common procedure I perform when I run in to clients who have viruses, cannot boot their PC, & they need files off of their hard drive. I'd normally boot in to the Boot CD & extract their knowledge from the internal hard drive & drag it to my backup outside hard drive. Keep in mind that whenever.
