If you’ve ever pressed the power button on your PC or laptop and... nothing happens, or you’re stuck staring at a blue screen or a never-ending boot loop, don’t panic — you’re not alone, and we can help.
At AS Computer Solutions in Onoway, Alberta, we specialize in diagnosing and fixing all kinds of startup and boot problems for Windows PCs and laptops. Whether it's an old desktop, a new gaming rig, or a school laptop, we're here to get your system back on track.
🔍 What Does “Won’t Boot” Actually Mean?
A computer that “won’t boot” can show symptoms like:
Power on, but nothing on the screen
Stuck on logo or spinning dots (boot loop)
Blue screen of death (BSOD) with error messages like INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE or CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED
No power at all – no lights, no fans
Booting straight to BIOS or error messages
Automatically restarting over and over
These issues might seem intimidating, but most of the time, they’re caused by common and fixable problems.
🔧 What Causes Boot Failures?
Here are some of the most common reasons a PC or laptop won’t start up properly:
Cause | Example |
Corrupted system files | Windows update interrupted or malware |
Bad hard drive or SSD | Clicking noises or missing boot device |
Loose or damaged cables | Especially on custom desktops |
RAM problems | Bad RAM sticks or wrong slots |
Power supply issues | Dead PSU or faulty power brick |
Recent hardware changes | New GPU or RAM not installed properly |
Faulty Windows update | Especially with feature updates |
Overheating or dust buildup | Causes shutdowns or protection modes |
🛠️ How We Fix Boot Problems at AS Computer Solutions
When you bring your system in, we follow a step-by-step diagnostic process designed to identify and fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
✅ Step 1: Physical Check & Bench Test
We inspect:
Power supply, battery, and charging cables
RAM sticks and storage devices
Motherboard condition and CPU cooling
✅ Step 2: BIOS & POST Diagnostics
We check if the system is POSTing (Power-On Self-Test), and if BIOS detects your hardware.
✅ Step 3: Boot Media Scan
Using our advanced tools:
We test your hard drive or SSD for damage
We check for corrupt Windows boot files
We recover and back up data if needed
✅ Step 4: Repair or Reinstall
Depending on the issue, we:
Run a Windows Startup Repair
Roll back or clean install Windows 10 or 11
Replace faulty parts if needed (we stock SSDs, RAM, and power supplies)
