Ten common computer startup faults and Their Solutions

When a computer encounters a problem during self-check on startup, a variety of short sentences may appear. The short sentences contain very important information and can solve some small problems by themselves, however, some of these are difficult to understand. Below are some common explanations of BIOS short sentences. You can refer to them.

1. CMOS battery failed

Chinese: The CMOS battery is invalid.

Explanation: This indicates that the CMOS battery is almost dead. You only need to replace the new battery.

2. CMOS check sum error-Defaults loaded

Chinese: an error is found when CMOS performs all checks. The preset values must be loaded.

Explanation: in general, this sentence indicates that the battery is almost deactivating. You can try another battery first. If the problem persists, it indicates that the cmos ram may be faulty, if it takes less than a year to change a motherboard at the dealer's place, after a year, let the dealer send it back to the manufacturer for repairs!

3. Press ESC to skip memory test

Chinese: memory check in progress. You can press ESC to skip this step.

Explanation: this is because the second, third, and fourth tests of the memory are not set to be skipped in the CMOS, and four memory tests are executed at startup. Of course, you can also Press ESC to end the memory check, however, this is too troublesome every time. You can select bios featurs setup after entering COMS settings, set Quick Power On Self Test to Enabled, and store and restart.

4. Keyboard error or no keyboard present

Chinese: the keyboard is incorrect or not connected.

Explanation: Check whether the keyboard connection is loose or damaged.

5. Hard disk install failure

Chinese: hard disk installation failed.

Explanation: this is because the power cord or data cable of the hard disk may not be properly connected or the hard disk jumper is improperly set. You can check whether the connections on the hard disk are inserted to check whether the Jumper settings of the two hard disks on the same data cable are the same. If they are the same, you only need to set the jumper of the two hard disks differently (one is set to Master and the other is set to Slave ).

6. Secondary slave hard fail

Chinese: failed to detect slave disk.

Explanation: it may be due to improper CMOS settings. For example, if a slave disk is not set but a slave disk is set in CMOS, an error will occur, in this case, you can go to COMS settings and select ide hdd auto detection for automatic hard disk DETECTION. It may also be that the power cord or data cable of the hard disk may not be properly connected or the hard disk jumper is improperly set. For the solution, refer to 5th.

7. Floppy Disk (s) fail or Floppy Disk (s) fail (80) or Floppy Disk (s) fail (40)

Chinese: unable to drive the floppy disk drive.

Explanation: The system prompts you that the drive cannot be found. Check whether the power cord and data cable of the drive are loose or are connected incorrectly, or place the drive on another machine for a try. If none of this works, so I had to buy another one. Fortunately, the soft drive is not expensive.

8. Hard disk (s) diagnosis fail

Chinese: An error occurred during hard disk diagnosis.

Explanation: the hard disk is faulty. You can try it on another machine. If the problem persists, you have to fix it.

9. Memory test fail

Chinese: Memory detection failed.

Explanation: Re-plugging the memory stick to see if it can be solved. This problem occurs generally because the memory stick is incompatible with each other. Please change one!

10. Override enable-Defaults loaded

Chinese: The Current CMOS settings cannot start the system. Load the preset values in the BIOS to start the system.

Explanation: Generally, an error occurs during COMS settings. You only need to go to COMS settings and select load setup defaults to LOAD the original value of the system and restart the system.
