Are you ready? Let's read!

Case 2. Computer turns on and goes off

This may be due to improper voltage or lack of fan operation. In the first case, you need to pay attention to the voltage switch. In the event that it is incorrect - the computer will not turn on.

As for the second case - if there is no adequate cooling of the computer, then when it overheats, it will shut itself down. Therefore, check whether the fan is fully operational.

Have you checked everything and is everything alright? Then read on.

Case 3. Computer powers on but monitor show nothing

If your computer has power but won't turn on, it may be due to being in sleep/hibernation mode. Therefore, press and hold the power button on the computer. After that, try turning on the PC or laptop again.

Also if your computer won't turn on, check your monitor; often, in such cases, it is the culprit.

Case 4. Computer loads but stop turning on due to BSOD

If this happens, then this is a really bad sign. Read what error number is on the screen and read how to fix it (there is a list for errors that lead to the “blue screen of death”, and there are different ways to solve them). Usually, when you see a BSOD error, you see a line like this on a blue screen: “You can find the error on the Internet: [name of the error or code]”.

Case 5. No error sign, but the computer won't turn on

The best solution in this situation is to boot the computer in safe mode. Once you do this, restart your computer. Any problems that occurred earlier (incomplete updates, hung programs, etc.) should disappear.

Also, as an option, while in safe mode, check your computer for viruses by running an antivirus program. If the computer will not power on, proceed to the next step.

Case 6. The computer booted, but file system crashed

In this case, do not recreate the file system because you will lose all the data on your hard drive.

It is better to remove the hard drive and reconnect it as an external hard drive to another computer. Since the file system does not work, you cannot get your data without the appropriate software. So try DiskInternals Partition Recovery: this software recreates the file system and restores all your data. The software works with all versions of the Windows operating system and with all popular file systems. To help you through the process, DiskInternals has developed a Recovery Wizard, which is a great help for users of any skill level.

Therefore, install the free version of the product and get started. (A license is only needed to save data).

Note: you need to select the appropriate volume to save the recovered data; take care of this in advance.
