Image via WikipediaIt is my experience; my desktop sometimes stops after displaying only the logo of my computer manufacturer and does not go further to display the windows. I have identified two problems and started clearing those before my service engineer supported those and I call them if I fell. Of course, there can be several causes including hard disk failure, best known to technical persons.
- One is low RAM, where the system opens very slowly, particularly when many programs are loaded in the PC; it also hangs frequently.
- The second one is RAM catching dirt especially in India, where residential PCs are not run in air-conditioned environment.
- For the first category of defect, one additional RAM can be purchased according to the specifications and put in the slot provided; usually one extra slot is provided in CPU.
- For the second defect, the RAM can be removed from the slot and the lower end is cleaned with a soft clean cloth. Usually the cloth will clean the dirt, which can be seen as blacked patch on it.
Many times, I have adopted the procedure and got the result. It may work or may not for others. I do not recommend it to be used by others..
