What To Do When Windows Won't Boot

If your computer won't boot, there could be a few different reasons why. The first thing you should do is check all of the cables and make sure they are plugged in correctly. If that doesn't work, try restarting your computer in Safe Mode. If your computer still won't boot, it's possible that there is an issue with the hard drive or another piece of hardware. You can try running a diagnostic test to see if there are any problems with the hardware. If you're still having trouble, you may need to reinstall Windows or take your computer to a repair shop.

What is happening when the computer is not booting?

If the computer still does not boot, there are a few things that can be done. First, check to make sure that all of the cables are properly plugged in and that the power supply is turned on. If everything appears to be plugged in correctly, try resetting the BIOS. This can be done by unplugging the power cord from the computer, opening up the case, and finding the CMOS battery. Once the battery is located, remove it for about 10 seconds and then reinsert it. This will reset the BIOS and may fix the problem. If resetting the BIOS does not work, try replacing the CMOS battery with a new one.

If neither of those options work, you can try resetting your computer to its factory settings. This will erase all of the data on your hard drive, so be sure to back up any important files before you do this. You can also try using a "system restore" point to go back to a previous point in time when your computer was working correctly.

What you should try first
