Troubleshooting Dead Machines

Our Hardware and Software forum category encompasses topics related to end-user computer technical support troubleshooting, tips and tweaks. Please be sure to always post in the appropriate sub-forum and do not hijack existing threads with your own support issue; start a new thread instead.

Our Hardware sub-category encompasses everything related to PC hardware, such as PCI cards, storage, motherboards, processors, RAM, peripherals, and so much more. For a community marketplace where you can buy, sell, or trade hardware, you can participate in our Hardware Swap forum within our Business Exchange category.

Our Troubleshooting Dead Machines forum is the place for Q&A-style discussions related to diagnosing machines that won't POST, can't boot-up, or have random restarts.
