Computer “Doesn't Start”? There is a way that even a kettle can handle
At one time he repaired TVs, but he abandoned this business long ago, and did not even begin to deal with a PC. What for? After all, I have specialists who will always help with this issue. And now I have an ordinary apartment, and not a repair warehouse cluttered with equipment.
Problem
Recently a fan (cooler) started to rustle on the PC, I decided to lubricate it, and at the same time to vacuum the "system unit". Everything worked out, works without noise, only it stopped starting, such a quietly buzzing box. I call the specialist, and he gives the way I was blown away by the simplicity of it. I didn't believe it would help.
Cause
It turns out that there is a problem with the contacts of the RAM sticks. The first one, which is closer to the processor cooling fan, suffers especially; it drives all the dust onto it. And if the RAM does not start, then the PC does not see any reason to continue working.
Solution
It is necessary to pull out the strips, clean them of dust with a brush.
It is good to vacuum the connectors on the board, and wipe the RAM contacts with an ordinary eraser. Then wipe them down with a rag to remove the pellets from the gum.That's basically all, but for reliability, the same operation must be done with the video card.
After that, in 90% of cases, the computer will start. Remembered that the younger one with a PC, the same problem, the device stood for a year, it was waiting for the owner from the army. With him, he did all of the above, and the machine came to life, he was amazed, this is Dad, special! Explained that I was helped by advice, which I share with you.
