How to fix random computer freezes and reboots caused due to hardware problems

Maybe you are facing random computer freezes and reboots! In such cases we have to first find out if it’s a hardware specific problem or a software specific problem. Because system instability can be caused due to both these reasons. This post covers computer reboots and freezes which may be caused due to your hardware and offer possible troubleshooting steps.

RAM: To find ou if it’s specific to hardware, download Memtest86+ ISO Image and burn it to a disk. Then boot from the disk and run Memory Diagnostic for 8 to 9 passes. It’s must be allowed to run up to 8 or 9 passes, to find out if it’s RAM that is causing the problem. Even a single error means there is something wrong with either RAM or DIMM slot. So you have to runMemTest with individual slots with individual RAM. Check the Motherboard manual and see that the voltage and timings are set correctly in the BIOS. Also check and ensure that the RAM is compatible with the board.


Hard drive: Next we have to test the Hard Drive condition. Find out the manufacturer of your Hard Drive and go to manufactures website. Most of the manufacture will have their own diagnostic tools. So run a complete diagnostic and check the stability of the Hard Drive. If you find a lot of bad sectors or error immediately start backing up your data. Then run chkdsk to see if that corrects the problem. If not, then if it is covered by warranty, send for RMA.


Overheat: One of the most common issue that cause the system instability is Overheat. To test that there are a lot of applications out there that would help you to monitor the temperatures. For example SpeedFan, HWMonitor, Open Hardware Monitor, etc. are few of them. Once you find that the system instability is caused by overheating, then if it a desktop remove the side panel and blow the dust out. Make sure you remove the CPU Fan and remove the dust as well. Also replace the thermal paste. Make sure all the fans are working properly. If it’s a Laptop then it’s best to take it to a local PC repair shop.

BIOS: Sometime changing the settings in BIOS, like Overclocking the RAM or processor and cause instability for the system. In such cases, reset the BIOS to default settings or reset it by removing CMOS for a minute and put it back. Make sure the BIOS firmware is up to date.

Power Supply: Sometime you might have a great system with latest board, processor, GPU, RAM etc. but to handle those, your PSU may not be powerful enough. Make sure you get one that can handle your hardware. Also PSU failure can cause the system to act weird – unfortunately there is no easy way to test it. But sometime you can hear loud noises from SMPS that would help you figure out if it’s the PSU that’s causing the problem.


Graphic Card: Sometime a GPU can cause system instability. Maybe overheating or incorrect clock settings are the main causes. In such cases, there are a lot of stress test software, which you could run to check the stability of your GPU like FurMark etc. Also a bad driver can also cause problems, so it might be a good idea to reinstall the drivers. Also when you Overclockyour GPU - check the manual.



External devices: Sometime a faulty external device like a USB Camera, Mouse, Keyboard, Gaming control etc. can cause random reboots. It’s best to disconnect all the USB devices and see if that fixes the problem. Also it’s best to see if you can borrow a Keyboard and mouse and see if that make any difference. Also you could check the Event Viewer to see any information or errors about a USB device is logged there.

A Guide To Laptop Motherboard Repair

One of the worst things that can happen to your laptop is the motherboard failure often resulting into laptop motherboard repair. If the motherboard is damaged and is beyond repair, you would definitely need to consider buying a new laptop. This is of course necessary as the motherboard of a laptop is very expensive and not covered by a warranty, so the better option would be to buy a new laptop.

But before you reach to the conclusion, thoroughly assess the motherboard damage. For you need to decide between two options laptop motherboard repair vs. a new laptop.
Tell tale signs of motherboard failure:
You have switched on the computer being indicated by the light and fan also starts to spin. But there is complete black- out on the computer screen with the hard drive not working within 10- 15 sec.
The initial start up functions appear like indicative light, fan and hard drive sound, but disappears after a while i.e. 5 – 3 mins.
A high pitched sound comes from the laptop when you press the “on” button.
Last one can be that even when you have switched on the computer nothing happens.

Cause of Mother Board Failure

There are numerous reasons why a laptop’s motherboard would fail. But some common and often unlooked corners include:
Electric and voltage fluctuations
Dust particles, smoke, laptops age
Fan failure often causing over heating issues
Crash or physical damage

Even the signs of motherboard failure mentioned above needs to be looked into, there are some exceptions to be looked when checking for laptop motherboard damage and they include:
The black screen could be an indication of a possible back light problem. In-between the hinges there is button as the on/off switch for the laptop’s back light. This buttons automatically get switched off when the lid is closed. However, sometimes it gets stuck. Therefore first pull the laptop’s lid back and forth, if it is still the same then take a pin, find the switch and gently tap it. If even this doesn’t work, possible you need a laptop motherboard repair.
If your laptops get switched on for a few seconds and then dies out, it could be due to battery being exhausted. First connected to the power outlet and then switch it on. Also check for connection cables, if it is still not works there could be two reasons. First your adapter might have been damaged, get it checked. If that’s not the case then the possible failure could indicate a laptop motherboard repair.
Often re- setting the RAM and CMOS or updating the BIOS could save you from motherboardlaptop repair.

As an advice – if you’re no expert in laptop hardware, but you know your motherboard has failed- Always go for a professional Motherboard Laptop Repair.

Make Your Windows Run Faster By Cleaning Prefetch Files

After using windows over a long period of time can result in a slow performance and frequent crashes. In this post i am going to share a simple process to increase the performance of Windows Xp, by deleting unused Prefetch files.

Before stating cleaning, i would like you to know what Prefetch files are.

Prefetch files are used to monitor and adapt the usage pattern of files and applications over period of time and to load the majority of the files and data needed into memory so that they can be accessed directly and very quickly when needed instead of searching them from the hard disk making it slower due to seek and spin time of the hard disk.

Thats It ! You are done. Please note that you might experience some slow performance on the first start because Windows has to re-copy all the page files you “cleaned out”, however after that things will be much faster.
