Check for Viruses or Ransomware:

 

    

Is your computer suddenly acting strangely? A ransomware attack could have you as a target. Your computer might not start up properly because ransomware with bad coding has encrypted, deleted, or moved data that it needs to work.

 

Don't start your computer from the internal storage drive where Windows is installed if you wish to get rid of unwanted software. Use a bootable USB disc instead. So, how do you use a USB stick to start your Windows 10 computer?

 

●     Press the key required to enter your BIOS Setup after turning on your computer. Esc, F1, F2, F8, F11, or F12 are frequently used.

 

●     Find the boot menu once you're in the BIOS, then the boot order controls. The USB drive will then be moved to the top of the list.

 

●     Before restarting the computer, save your settings.

 

Check your machine for infection with anti-malware software when it successfully starts.

Remove all unnecessary connections:

 

It's time to get rid of external gear if none of the aforementioned solutions seem to work. Your PC might not be starting because of one of your peripherals.

 

Disconnect all of the external hardware from your computer and turn it off. These auxiliary devices include audio systems, joysticks, and flash drives.

 

Only the keyboard, mouse, and display should be connected when starting your computer (if using a desktop). If it boots up successfully, shut it down, reconnect any peripherals, and then relaunch it. Do this repeatedly until you identify the offender.

 

Allow the battery to recharge:

 

Have you recently put your laptop aside and now it won't switch on? You plugged it into the power outlet after that, but it still won't turn on.

 

The battery on your laptop has just fully run out, but don't worry; it's probably still fine. Allow your laptop to charge for around 30 minutes before attempting to switch it on once more.

 

Examine your display:

 

What's wrong if my computer seems to be functioning but nothing is shown on the screen?

 

We receive several calls from customers with identical issues, and in many situations, a screen problem is to blame. Often, just because the screen is black, people assume their computer is off when it isn't. Simply put, a bad screen could be the reason of your computer's dysfunction. By making sure the monitor is turned on and connected to the PC, you can rule out a screen issue. Connect your monitor to your dedicated graphics card rather than the motherboard if you have one.

 

Sometimes, despite having power and a good connection, a monitor won't display anything because the brightness was unintentionally adjusted to zero.

 

Have you had your laptop for a number of years only to have it suddenly stop working and refuse to turn on?

Your laptop's display adapter may be broken if the screen is blank but the power and keyboard keys are lit up. If so, you would need to have a computer professional replace the adapter. By connecting an external monitor to your HDMI or other video output connection, you may quickly check for a defective display adapter.
