How to solve the problem of computer not starting

When a problem occurs during the power-on self-test, various English sentences will appear. The sentences contain very important information. By understanding this information, you can solve some small problems by yourself. However, these English sentences stump some friends. The following are explanations of some common BIOS sentences for your reference.

1.CMOS battery failed

English: CMOS battery failure.

Explanation: This means that the CMOS battery is running low and you just need to replace it with a new one.

2.CMOS check sum error-Defaults loaded

English: CMOS found errors when performing a full check and needs to load the system default values.

Explanation: Generally speaking, this sentence means that the battery is running low. You can try changing the battery first. If the problem is still not solved, it means that there may be a problem with the CMOS RAM. If it has not been a year, go to the dealer to replace the motherboard. If it has been a year, ask the dealer to send it back to the manufacturer for repair!

3.Press ESC to skip memory test

Chinese: Memory check in progress. Press ESC to skip.

Explanation: This is because there is no setting in CMOS to skip the second, third, and fourth memory tests. Four memory tests will be performed when the computer is turned on. Of course, you can also press the ESC key to end the memory check, but it is too troublesome to do this every time. You can enter the COMS settings and select BIOS FEATURS SETUP, set Quick Power On Self Test to Enabled, save and restart.

4.Keyboard error or no keyboard present

Chinese: Keyboard error or keyboard not connected.

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

5.Hard disk install failure

Chinese: Hard disk installation failed.

Explanation: This is because the power cable or data cable of the hard disk may not be properly connected or the hard disk jumper setting is improper. You can check whether the hard disk cables are properly plugged in and see if the jumper settings of the two hard disks on the same data cable are the same. If they are the same, just set the jumpers 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 the slave disk.

Explanation: It may be that the CMOS settings are not correct. For example, if there is no slave disk but it is set as a slave disk in CMOS, an error will occur. At this time, you can enter the COMS settings and select IDE HDD AUTO DETECTION to automatically detect the hard disk. It may also be that the power cord and data cable of the hard disk may not be connected properly or the hard disk jumper setting is not correct. For the solution, please refer to Article 5.

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

English: Unable to drive the floppy disk drive.

Explanation: The system prompts that the floppy drive cannot be found. Check if the power cord and data cable of the floppy drive are loose or connected incorrectly, or try putting the floppy drive on another machine. If none of these work, you will have to buy another one. Fortunately, floppy drives are not expensive.

8.Hard disk(s) diagnosis fail

English: An error occurred while performing hard drive diagnostics.

Explanation: This problem usually means that the hard disk itself is faulty. You can try putting the hard disk on another machine. If the problem is still not solved, you can only have it repaired.

9.Memory test fail

Chinese: Memory test failed.

Explanation: Reseat the memory stick to see if the problem can be solved. This problem usually occurs because the memory sticks are incompatible with each other. Change another one!

10.Override enable-Defaults loaded

English: The current CMOS settings cannot start the system. Load the default values ​​in the BIOS to start the system.

Explanation: Generally, there is an error in the settings within COMS. Just enter the COMS settings, select LOAD SETUP DEFAULTS, load the original system settings, and then restart.
