Troubleshooting Windows reboot?
I have a discussion question in a Networking class that I am having trouble answering. the question is as follows... A PC technician accidently disabled a critical windows program in the Task manager services tab, preventing the Windows computer from rebooting successfully. Discuss troubleshooting steps that could be taken to recover from the human error, providing assumptions as necessary to cover various situations. Im not looking for an exact answer to the question but rather a resource where I can find the answer or perhaps a suggestion as to what you would do. I have already talked about hard booting the pc as well as ending the Explorer.exe and then restarting it. Any other thoughts?
In troubleshooting a boot problem, what would be the point of disabling the quick boot feature in cmos setup?
Instead of bypassing a bunch of hardware boot test as with quick boot the boot will take a little longer testing all known hardware at boot
I think my computer has a virus and it won’t boot up. What are the top 3 ways to troubleshoot?
When you say won’t boot up, do you mean won’t boot into Windows or it won’t start at all?What makes you think you have a virus?If you do, and you can’t boot into Windows, you can try to do Last Known Good Configuration from the boot menu. Before windows starts, press F8 repeatedly. This will bring you to the menu allowing you to choose safe mode and other options. You may first want to try safe mode to see if you can get into Windows.If that doesn’t work, try the menu again and go a little further down to Last Known Good configuration.If that also fails, depending on your level of experience with computers, you have three choices.1 - Build a rescue disk that will allow you to clean your computerHere is a good guide for that -How to create a USB rescue kit for your PC2 - format and reinstall (Is your data all backed up somewhere else?)3 - Take to a computer repair place for helpHope this helps.

PC not booting, error 26 on motherboard LED.?
Jim is right that your PSU can be dying (ie not producing enough power) and cause issues. Plus Abit in the past has made some really lousy PSUs and yours might be one of them (just saying because you need to keep an open mind when troubleshooting) You didn't post what graphics card you have. And Starcraft 2 is fairly graphics intensive. It's possible you fried your graphics card. If you've got a spare graphics card that you can test drive, try that and see if your system will come up. If you've got a multimeter, test the PSU. What I would do first though is the most simplistic: take out RAM/and reseat; disconnect PSU from MOBO/reconnect; take out graphics card/reseat (you already did this of course). Even try booting up with one RAM chip at a time (this will determine if a chip is bad, or if a RAM slot is bad) Sometimes these can clear up issues. I don't think this will solve your problem but it's worth a shot. IMO you've either got a bad PSU, graphics card or your MOBO is fried. I'm leaing toward the graphics card but that's just a gut feeling. Only further testing will confirm.
