Computer System Error
• A computer system error is a mistake or malfunction
that causes a computer to behave unexpectedly or
incorrectly. This can include software glitches,
hardware malfunctions, or network issues.
Common causes of computer system errors:
• hardware malfunctions, software bugs, power
outages, network issues, human errors, insufficient
system resources, inadequate maintenance, and
security breaches.
1. No Video Output

When you open your PC, nothing


shows up in your monitor and the
LED indicator of your monitor is
flashing in yellow color or steady in
orange color.
2. Doesn’t Boot

When you open your PC it will


show the processors brand
and/or mobo brand but doesn’t
continue.
3. Never Ending Loading of
Operating System
The computer opens up then
boots but when the operating
system loads it, doesn’t continue
and it will take a longtime if
you’re going to wait for it to load.
4. Lots of pop up windows
showing on standby mode
This is what we call aftershock
virus which will continue to run
even if internet is disconnected.
5. Lots of hardware installation
windows appear
This happens even if you try
installing the hardware.
6. Safe mode doesn’t work

When you try going safe mode,


all you will see is a list of files in
Command prompt style
7. Keyboard and mouse system restart

This will happen only in standby


mode, when you move your
mouse or type something, your
system will automatically restart
and the worst part is it will delete
a file at random.
8. Sound on/off error

Upon loading the operating


system, you will hear a loading
sound and then the sound stops,
when you try running an audio
file, no sound will be heard.
9. Application causes system to
restart
When you open a program it will
take the whole screen, when you
close it, it will cause your system
to restart.
