Steps to troubleshoot a hanged computer

-

There are six steps to be followed for troubleshooting a computer hanging issue. 

Step1. RAM


- The bad memory stick can freeze a computer.

- Check RAM by using a Memory diagnostic test.

- One can use a third-party tool such as "Memtest86".

- Ensure that RAM is compatible with the motherboard


Step2. Hard Drive


- Test the hard drive for bad sector

- Run a complete diagnostic test to check the stability of the hard drive.

- Use the manufacturer's diagnostic tool or "chkdsk".

-  If you come across a lot of bad sectors or errors, backing up data and repairing the bad sectors is recommended.


Step3. Overheat


- Overheat is the most common issue that causes system instability.

- Check the BIOS to monitor the temperature.

- Remove the cabinet side panel and processor fan, then blow the air to dust out.

- Apply thermal paste to avoid overheating.

Step4. Graphics card

- Overheating of a heat sink and GPU or incorrect clock settings in GPU can cause system instability.


- Check if the GPU fan is working properly.

Step5. BIOS



- System instability is caused due to overlocking the processor or RAM in BIOS settings.

- Reset the BIOS settings or remove and put back the CMOS battery.

- Ensure that the BIOS firmware is up to date.


Step6. SMPS   

 
- SMPS has to be powerful enough to handle the latest hardware in the system.

- Check the output voltages coming from SMPS.

- Loud noise from the SMPS indicates power supply issues.
