HOW TO SURVIVE THE WORST PC DISASTERS.

The article presents tips on dealing with computer-related problems. If a computer would not boot, one should first check all cables to make sure everything is hooked up tightly. To confirm the power supply, consider testing the voltage output with a power-supply tester such as PC Power and Cooling's ATX. If the power supply is okay but nothing appears on screen, plug in a different monitor to ensure it is not the display that is blown. Windows is probably at fault if no personal computers show on the network, but the source could be hardware. If the problem is not hardware, start by going through the various Windows settings to see which has gone bad. Another option is to look for duplicate Internet Protocol address assignments.
