PC Overheating
There are two main reasons your PC heats up, i.e. either the
cooling system isn’t working properly or the PC is heating to the point
your cooling system can’t handle it anymore. In either case, I have
written a comprehensive article on different solutions to handle an
overheating PC. Do check it out.
2. Dysfunctional USB Port
If your USB port stops working, it’s not necessary that it’s
broken. Below are some solutions that can fix this issue:
1.Press Windows + R keys and enter devmgmt.msc in the Run dialog to open the Device
Manager.
2.Here, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers option.
3.Now right-click the entry USB Host Controller and then click on Uninstall.
4.Repeat this for all entries with USB Host Controller to uninstall drivers for all the
USB ports.
5.Once deleted, restart the PC and Windows will automatically reinstall the
drivers and fix any driver issues.
METHOD 3: DISABLE USB SELECTIVE SUSPEND
USB SELECTIVE SUSPEND IS A WINDOWS POWER SAVING FEATURE THAT SUSPENDS
UNUSED OR IDLE USB PORTS TO CONSERVE POWER. SOMETIMES IT COULD STOP A USB
PORT FROM WORKING. HERE IS HOW TO DISABLE IT:
1.Press Windows + R keys and type powercfg.cpl in the Run dialog to open
Windows Power options.
2.Here click on Change plan settings next to your current plan and then
click on Change advanced power settings.
3.Now, expand USB settings and disable USB selective suspend setting.
4.Restart the PC to see if it fixes the USB port issue
Note: This option should be kept enabled if you want to
save battery power. If it doesn’t fix the USB port issue,
then enable it again.
3. PC keeps disconnecting from WiFi
If your Wi-Fi is working fine but your PC keeps disconnecting from it, then your PC’s network
card may not be receiving full power. Windows has a built-in power saver option that gives
less power to the network card. You need to disable this feature:
The PC motherboard is smart enough to detect problems and sounds beeps in different
rhythms to tell you. Here is an article on what it actually means when the PC beeps multiple
times.
If the PC doesn’t start after the beeps, then it’s usually difficult to solve the problem yourself.
However, I’m going to list down two of the most common problems due to which beeps occur,
and thankfully, you can solve them yourself as well.
Problem 1: Out of place RAM
A problem I recently dealt with. If the RAM inside your PC gets loose or out of place, then
your PC will beep 2-3 times and won’t boot at all. The solution is simple, open up the PC
(laptop users should let an expert handle this) and reinsert the RAM. Here’s how:
1.Take out the RAM completely and clean any dirt inside the slot using a cotton bud.
2.Now insert back the RAM and put enough pressure on both ends to ensure it is fully
inside.
3.Afterward, close the clips and make sure they’re properly locked. Even a slightly loose
RAM will be unable to work.
This video should help you properly install the RAM
Problem 2: Recently added hardware
A damaged or wrongly installed hardware component could lead to beeps. Take out any
newly added hardware components and see if it solves the problem. If the PC works fine
afterward, then either get it installed properly or get it fixed (or replaced).
Sometimes your PC may not use a portion of RAM. For example, You may have 4GB of
RAM, but your PC only uses 2GB when you check it from the Task Manager. This is
usually a Windows setting issue.
Note: If only a few MBs (200-400MB) of RAM isn’t being utilized, then it’s probably being
used by PC hardware and you can’t do anything about it.
The solution to this problem is simple – Windows must have been configured to only
use a portion of the RAM. Here is how to fix it:
1.Press Windows + R keys and type msconfig in the Run dialog to open System
Configurations.
2.Move to Boot tab and click on Advanced options.
3.Now check the checkbox next to Maximum memory and enter the maximum
amount RAM you have installed (in MBs).
4.Click on OK and restart the PC to let it take effect
Good to know: While you are at it, you should also check the checkbox next
to Number of processors option and ensure your PC is utilizing all the CPU
cores as well. Set it to the maximum number if you want to use all of the CPU
power.
If this didn’t fix the problem, then there is also a chance one of the RAM
isn’t installed properly. Try reinstalling it.
7. Overworking fan
Your PC fan runs according to how much your PC is
heating. The higher the temperature, the faster the fan will
run. In case your PC temperature is fine (you can
use HWMonitor to check it), but the fan is running at full
speed; then you’ll have to manually control it.
You can use the SpeedFan app for this purpose as well. It
will tell you the running speed of all the fans inside your
PC so you can manage their speed. Don’t worry about app
compatibility, overworking fan problem only happens with
motherboards that can control the fans.
8. PC crashes before loading the OS
If your PC is not powering on at all – not even a single light in it, then it must be a
problem with the power source.
Desktop users: If your PC’s extension cord, power outlet, and other
connections are working fine, then the problem may be with the PC’s power
cable. Replace the power cable of the monitor with the CPU’s (if you don’t
have a spare) to see if it turns on. You’ll have to get a new power cable if this fixes
the problem.
Laptop users: Take out the battery and put it back before starting the laptop. If this
doesn’t work, then take out the battery again and connect the charging cable
to the laptop. Start the PC on charger power and see if it works. You will have to
replace the battery if it fixes the problem.
Note: You should also remove all types of external devices connected to your PC
while trying this. A malfunctioning device might cause this issue.
10. Noisy PC
If you hear clicking or grinding sound from the hard drive, then it might be time to get a new one.
Hard drives have a limited lifespan and loud sounds are the main sign of a near hard drive failure.
You can use CrystalDiskInfo hard drive monitoring tool to check the health of your hard drive. The tool
will tell you the current health of the hard drive with signs like "Good", "Caution" or "Bad"
You should back up all your data immediately and try to get another hard disk before this one
fails on you
12. Blue Screen of Death BlueScreenView is a
The dreaded Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) can occur due to both great Nirsoft
software and hardware problems, but usually, it’s a hardware problem. utility that will show
Whatever the cause, BSOD requires immediate attention as it’s a sign of a important information
big problem. if you have recently
suffered a Blue
Screen of Death. You
should be able to
identify and solve the
problem using this
information. Below
are some common
reasons for BSOD
and their solutions.
1. Corrupted drivers
A corrupt driver may be the cause of BSOD. To find that out, use the following steps:
1.Open Device Manager by typing devmgmt.msc in the Run.
2.Here expand each menu and look for a yellow triangle icon next to each driver.
3.If you find any, right-click on it and select Update Driver Software to update its driver
If the monitor goes black after few seconds of display, then it could
be a problem with the color quality or screen adjustment. Press
the auto-adjust button on your monitor to see if it fixes it. If not, then
you will have to change display color from 32bit to 16 bit.
You can connect the PC to another monitor to adjust colors
from your graphics card settings. Pressing the auto-adjust may
show the display for few seconds. You can use this to your
advantage and adjust the color while pressing auto-adjust.
15. Keyboard issues
