There are a number of reasons why you may be having this issue. We can help you identify this problem and quickly offer a solution. In most cases it means that the computer just needs a good cleanup and a reconfiguration of the operating system. You may even have a piece of malware or a virus on the computer that is causing this.

If Windows is taking a long time to actually open up then this could potentially point to an issue with your internal hard drive. There is a likelihood that it will need to be replaced. If you feel as if this may be the issue then refrain from restarting the computer. Restarting the computer too many times may lead to irretrievable data on the drive if there is no back up available.

When you start up your computer and nothing happens other than a series of beeps, it can often mean there is an issue with the RAM or the video card is faulty. On some occasions this means that the memory will need resetting, otherwise a new memory or video card will be needed.

If there is no display other than a message asking for you to check the video connection then either the monitor of the computer will be faulty or the internal video card or RAM will need to be replaced. In the worst case scenario it may be the motherboard that needs to be replaced, but don’t panic, we will keep you updated with everything that we change, replace, and do.

A flickering or flashing screen where screen icons or texts appears to be changing size, then it is most likely that a new video card will be required.

Experiencing any of the above usually indicates a hardware problem, further testing would be required, possible causes could be from a fan overheating due to dust or not working at all on CPU or a graphics card, damaged hard drive or faulty memory.

Blue screens appear after systems crashes or freezes whilst working on computer if it is not a hardware issue then you will possibly be looking at windows update, recently graded driver problem or a virus issue. Contact us today for help and advice.

We know you most probably have but check the obvious first. Is the power cable connected properly? Are the devices on the same power bar or socket also not working? If they are then it will be the socket at fault.
