What happens when you push the power on button of your PC and found
out that the system does not show the glowing Windows icon? It may be
a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) with an error code, or it will just
simply be a blank black screen with no hard disk activity being
indicated at all.
This may be a familiar scene to some of us out there. The first thing
we normally do is to summon our colleagues from the IT department to
solve the problem. What if you are all by yourself with no one to come
over to help you? It is your turn to get your hands down to work to
find a solution to the problem and get your Windows up and running
again.
This can only be looked into from two ways: Hardware or Software. The
hardware part might involve wrongly inserted, faulty, or incompatible
RAM modules being used, or a large area of bad sector on a hard disk
drive. Each component should be checked thoroughly and some might even
find it a tiny part on the motherboard being faulty or simply because
the power cord behind the computer is not connected!
Solving hardware problems is as simple as replacing faulty modules
with working ones or rearranging RAM modules. Software problems may be
caused by non-working software either missing a crucial file of the
operating system or loosing a crucial boot file. One such example is
the MBR or better known as Master Boot Record which is the common
fault for non booting Windows.
It only takes a few minutes of reinstalling the Master Boot Record
that is available with the Microsoft Windows OS CD to solve the
problem. Simply pop the CD in and select 'Repair Windows' and let the
CD do its job.
