How to Repair HP Computer at Home
(1-888-687-4491)

• Any abnormality in the integrated components of a
  computer can prove harmful to its performance,
  but some general computer issues can be addressed
  without seeking professional IT help. Among the
  most common problems you may encounter are issues
  with the computer freezing and appearances of the
  infamous "no boot" or "blue screen of death." To
  repair a computer, you'll need to troubleshoot
  the issue and determine if the fix is something
  you can perform yourself for more complicated
  problems, however, consider seeking the help of a
  professional.

If You Face Computer is Freezing and Not Running
Properly

• Computers may freeze on account of any hardware
  or software issue, so here you need to understand
  the exact reason behind it. Notice if the issue
  started when you connected any hardware
  peripherals like a printer or scanner then it
  might be due to a driver conflict. If the issue
  occurred after installing a new hard drive, then
  it might be due to insufficient power or too much
  heat. Follow the troubleshooting pattern below to
  repair your computer, if such problems occur

Step 1. Give Your Computer a Bit of Rest.

• If you leave your computer on all the time, you
  can often fix a problem by turning off the
  computer, then unplugging it (or remove the
  battery, if it is a laptop), then holding down
  the power button for 30 seconds while computer
  remains unplugged (this will often cause a light,
  or lights, to flash), then reinserting the
  battery, plugging the computer back in and
  powering it on. By cutting off the power to the
  motherboard, it allows the hardware to reset and
  the memory to clear.

If Your Computer Becomes too Hot

• You will need to take a look inside for this.
  Remember that any time you need to open up your
  computer cabinet, shut down your computer and
  unplug it. If you have long hair, tie it back.
  Take off any jewelry that might get in the way.
  Also avoid wearing any clothing that produces a
  lot of static, as a spark can damage hardware and
  cause intermittent, hard-to-troubleshoot problems.

Do Some Diagnostics

• Many computers now come with built-in diagnostics
  which can tell you if you have certain issues.
  Two brands of computer that normally have
  diagnostic options are HP/Compaq and Dell. To
  access these diagnostic options
• Power down the computer, wait a few seconds then
  turn it back on
• HP - Immediately start pressing F2 on startup to
  access the diagnostic menu. Select Start Up Test,
  Quick, One Pass (if option is present) to begin
  the testing process.
• Dell - Immediately start pressing F12 on startup
  to access the diagnostic menu. Use the arrow keys
  to select Diagnostics from the menu.
• Write down any error codes and consult the
  internet, the computer manufacturer or a local
  technician for assistance.

Open the Cabinet of Your Computer and Check the
Temperature of the Metal Chassis

• If its hot, then there may be a heat related
  issue. For laptops, you generally do not want to
  try to open the case, but you can still vacuum
  the fan ports. Some computers just run hot,
  particularly laptops, but heat is never good for
  electronics. Gently examine the front and rear
  fans and blow out any dust. You can apply a clean
  cloth to dust out hidden particles. Remember
  Your computer must be shut down while you're
  cleaning inside it
• If you have more than one hard drive in your
  computer, avoid installing them right next to
  each other in the chassis this makes them more
  prone to heat failure. To install an extra hard
  drive in a wide slot, such as the slot that holds
  your CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, you can buy
  mounting brackets at a store that sells computer
  parts.
• Even if your computer isn't having problems,
  it's a good idea to clean the fans regularly.
• Before you close up the case, check all the
  cables and make sure everything is still plugged
  in. If you have to reset a video card or a stick
  of memory, avoid applying heavy pressure to the
  motherboard as this can damage it.

7
Inspect your Device Drivers

• Many times when doing a Windows Update, your
  system may download and install an incorrect
  driver, which may result in the computer
  freezing. You can check the status of drivers
  from Device Manager. Any devices with a yellow
  exclamation next to them are in an error state.
  Unplug any USB devices, if connected, and see if
  the error goes away. If so, that device is a
  problem. Power-on your computer and see if it
  works. If it does, good otherwise you can
  restore your computer to an earlier
  configuration. System Restore will roll your
  system back to an earlier set of drivers.

8
Try a System Restore

• It can be accessed by pressing and holding the
  Windows Logo key and pressing R, and then typing
  "rstrui" in the Run dialog box. Using a restore
  point to restore your computer can remove
  software (like an app, driver, or update) that
  might be causing the problem.
• Once started, System Restore can NOT be
  interrupted, so be patient.
• Changes made to your PC by System Restore cannot
  be undone if you are running it in Safe Mode or
  the Windows Recovery Environment.

9
Inspect your Hard Disk. Your hard disk is a
storehouse of information, so when it gets used
for a long duration it might get cluttered and
patchy this slows down the performance of your
computer

• Hence, use your Windows utility CHKDSK to scan
  and remove bad sectors on regular basis. It is
  the best preventive way of maintaining computer
  health.

10
Install and run a good antivirus and anti-malware
program.

Case 2. Computer turns on but does not boot the
OS, or shows a Blue Screen of Death at startup

• No Power. If your computer does not power on at
  all, the most likely culprits are either Power
  Supply (desktop only) or motherboard. Make sure
  the connectors are plugged in properly, and the
  switch on the back of the power supply is turned
  ON.

12
No Boot or Blue Screen

• Try Safe Mode - if your computer will boot into
  Safe Mode, it is a software related issue.
• Test Screen - If you hear the computer
  running, but see nothing on the screen, try
  swapping monitors or plugging in an external
  monitor for laptops.
• Test RAM - try carefully removing the ram and
  powering on. Most computers, when functioning
  properly, will give a long, repeating 'memory
  error' beep. Power off and replace the ram, one
  stick at a time, powering on when ram is properly
  seated.
• Test Video Card - if your computer has a
  removable video card, try removing it and either
  replacing it or plugging your monitor into the
  built-in video port if available.
• If none of these things work, you are likely
  looking at a failed hard drive, corrupted
  operating system or failed motherboard. It is
  best to seek professional services at this time.
