A person who does not know how to work with a computer now seems to come from the Stone Age. Digital technologies seamlessly integrated into all major areas of public life: even a simple mobile phone, the purpose of which, it would seem, is to make and receive calls, has long acquired its own processor, video accelerator, and an adapted operating system.
This creates enormous demand, which computer manufacturers are striving to satisfy.
All this is natural and predictable. But in a competitive environment, due to the rapid pace of the emergence of new hardware components, devices often have certain compatibility problems. Is it any wonder that for some users the computer does not turn on the first time ?! This may be due to factory defects of the entire series or features of working with components already installed in the system. In this article, we will point out some of the main reasons why the computer does not turn on the first time.
Perhaps it is worth starting with the simplest situation. Although after reviewing it may seem trite, new users who first encountered this kind were not laughing. Be that as it may, one of the reasons why the computer does not turn on the first time is a violation of the electrical contact of the power cord.
The wire connecting the socket and the
system unit may be of poor quality and at a relatively high power consumption ceases to perform its functions. By the way, sometimes in this situation the computer does not turn on the first time, but it "starts up" from the second. Yes, it happens. Usually the problem lies in the loss of contact inside the rubber-plugged plug. Solved by replacement.
The next reason, because of which the computer does not turn on the first time, is a malfunction of the power supply. A switching power supply is a rather complex device in which a mismatch of a parameter causes a malfunction of the entire circuit. The consultants in many stores recommend purchasing more expensive sources, rather than cheap Chinese ones, and they are absolutely right. In mass budget products, they save literally on everything, simplifying the scheme extremely. The result is fragility of components and unpredictable performance.
Cheap models can be used, but subject to their annual replacement. The solution is to check the operation with another block.
If the computer does not turn on, it beeps, then the cause may be a malfunction of the motherboard, components, or incompatibility that has arisen (in the case of connecting new equipment). The squeak signals the problems that have been identified by the BIOS self-testing system. It is necessary to de-energize the system unit, open the side cover of the case and visually verify that the video card is tightly placed in the connector - if you suspect it must be fully inserted to ensure reliable electrical contact. The same thing should be done with memory modules. If the problem persists, then you should check the operability with each module separately. New equipment should be removed - perhaps the reason is in it.
