Computer Won't Open Due To A Memory Failure


Have you experience an instance where your computer does not start but awhile ago it goes smoothly? This happen most with an old computers. Have you thought of troubleshooting it on your own but not sure about it or how to do it? 

There are many reasons why a desktop won't open maybe it's a video card problem, a hard drive, a processor, a board and maybe just a memory alone. Open your desktop cover and give it a try troubleshooting your own desktop. It's hard to detect any error or put an assumption if we don't check all the peripherals properly but focus first on the memory.

Do It Yourself
 
When a computer don't open where it does before, try fixing the memory. Else, something wrong with other peripherals. If you want to learn how to troubleshoot it by yourself do it safely. Anyway, you can do it the way I do, by taking a risk in order to learn. In fact, everyone can manage their own desktop or laptop except for major problems.
 
Actually, some old model of motherboard has two or more memory slots to chose with while the latest models has only two. You can check the memory through another CPU (if you have an extra one) to know whether it's bad or you may just go on by pulling it off and push again slightly. If by just pulling it off and on don't work you may place it to another memory slot to find if it will work. Clean dusty slots by the use of blower or using hair drier. If ain't work, then try replace it with a new one.

Re-seatting the memory might solve the problem and no need to find a technician unless you don't know how to do it. In that way you can avoid spending a little for PC check-up.
