Some Common PC Errors And Their Solutions

Here some common PC errors and the solutions for them...Do have a look...................!!1. MONITOR LED IS BLINKINGCheck all the connections like Monitor Cable, Datacables,RAM, Display Card , CPU connections.

2. CONTINUOUS THREE BEEPSProblem in RAM Connection.

3. THREE BEEPS ( 1 Long 2 Short)Problem in Display Card Connection
4. THREE LONG BEEPS PERIOD WISEProblem in BIOS or RAM (Basic Input Output System)

5. CONTINUOUS NON-STOP BEEPINGKey Board Problem (I.e.; Some Key is pressed forLonger time)

6. FDD LED IS GLOWING CONTINUOUSLYData cable to be connected properly (twisted cable).

7. NO DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN AT ALLHard Disk cable connected wrongly. Connect rightlyseeing the Red mark (Faces power supply) and thenRestart.

8. POWER LED IS OFFa. Check main power cordb. Check S.M.P.S.c. Check Mother Board connection9. SHOWING CMOS ERROR

Replace 3 Volt battery of Mother Board . Set OriginalSettings Manually.(Refer CMOS Setup chart)Enter your search terms Submit search form

10. SHOWING FDD ERROR OR FLOPPY DRIVE IS NOTWORKING PROPERLYCheck Power cord of FDD , Data Cables , set CMOS &Finally the Check drive.

11. SHOWING HDD ERROR OR HARD DISK FAILUREa. Check Power Cordb. Check connection of HDDc. Check Data cabled. Check Hard Disk parameters in CMOS or Autodetecting Setting Partitions by F disk Command, thenformat it to set track 0.

12. MOTHER BOARD HANGS DUE TO NOT STABILIZEDPOWER SUPPLYa. Check S.M.P.Sb. RAM not functioning properly.c. Software problem (due to using pirated software)d. CPU fan not functioning properly.

13. DANCING SCREENa. Check Display card connectionb. Virus Problemc. Video Memory Problem

14. SHAKING SCREENa. Earthing problemb. Magnetic waves comes around.

15. CPU CABINET SHOCKa. Check Earthingb. Check main power cord.

16. NON-SYSTEM DISK ERRORa. Floppy Drive having different disk (Non-BootableDisk) OR CMOS Parameters for Hard Disk may not beset properly.b. Hard Disk Partitions may not be created.c. Hard Disk may not be formatted.

17. MISSING OPERATING SYSTEMThe System files missing namely Ie; command.com} -User File IO.SYS & MS_DOS.SYS } - Hidden Files. Theseabove three files required for Start up of the systemthat can be transferred by using SYS C: Command ORWhile the time of formatting by using Format c:/u/s

18. MISSING COMMAND INTERPRETOR

May the file Command.com is corrupted OR Infectedby Virus OR Some one has Erased it.

19. SHOWING I/O ERRORa. The type of Hard Disk in CMOS may not be setproperly.b. Operating system used for formatting is not valid

20. SHOWING DIVIDE OVER- FLOW MESSAGEa. May some Directories or Files crash with other files.b. Use CHKDSK/F or SCANDISK Command to correct it.

21. HARD DISK MAKING NOISE WHILE PROCESSINGa. Unstabilized power supply.b. Check for Loose Contact.c. Do not use Y Connectors for Hard Disk.d. It may create Bad Sector OR Weak Hard Disk.

22. HARD DISK HANGS WHILE PROCESSINGCheck for Bad Sector by using CHKDSK or SCANDISKCommand. If found format the Hard Disk and setPartition before that area.(This is the only procedureto use Hard Disk with Bad Sector) OR (To avoid BadSectors use Standard Power Supply)

23. HARD DISK NOT DETECTEDa. Check Power Connectorb. Check Data Cablesc. Check Jumpers

24. PARTITION NOT SHOWNOperating System where the Hard Disk formatted isnot supported with present Mother Board. For Eg:Hard Disk formatted with Pentium System will hidetheir partitions for 486 System.

25. MMX/DLL FILE MISSINGMay the above files may be corrupted due to powerfailure or Virus. Make available above files from otherComputer. OR Reinstall Windows 98 OperatingSystem. (This procedure will not make any effect onexisting Data).

26. WINDOWS REGISTRY ERRORThis will happen due to sudden ON/OFF of thesystem. Final solution is to Reinstall Operating System.

27. DISPLAY COLOUR DOES NOT MATCH\

a. Configure Display Card properly with their CD.b. The Standard setting for Windows is set it to800x600 for better performance.

28. UNKNOWN DEVICE FOUNDMay the Driver utility is not provided with operatingsystem . Insert Driver CD and install software for theabove Device...
