- You just make a run of cleanup wizard in your PC or use software to clean up, that will help your Pc to process a lot faster.
- If there is any problem in the High Voltage Circuit then it could happen. Ex: Problems of Fly back.
- If any part of the monitor(register, diode, Capacitor) is burned then it could happen.
- Sometimes the problem occurs for dry-soldering also.
Solution:
- If the problems is of Fly back then it should be replaced.
- If any parts of monitor(register, diode, Capacitor) is damaged then you should have find that part by testing your mother board and when you find it get it repaired or replaced.
- For dry-soldering if the circuit is not working properly then you should check it. If you find it then solder it again.

Why General Failure Reading Drive A: occurs?
When someone access his floppy disk, he is getting a general failure error. Maybe that the light is coming or not,when you try the command.
“ A drive working in windows,but when it come to DOS it is giving a error that General Failure reading drive A:
Abort:: retry:: fail:: ”
Explanation: This happens just with some particular diskette, then it would be the diskette has some non standard format. It can have more then 80 tracks or more then 18 sectors per track. Generally Windows can read such diskette without a problem, but to read it in DOS you need special driver.
But if you can't read any diskette at all, check out CMOS settings for the floppy drive.It might be that the type of the diskette was set incorrect.

But if you can't read any diskette at all, check out CMOS settings for the floppy drive.It might be that the type of the diskette was set incorrect.
Cause:
- Mainly it cause because of accessing the unformatted disk.
- If the light is not coming then it might be a problem with your drive/controller.
- If the Disk is not Formatted or the Diskette is damaged (Problem of Bad Sector) then the error occurs.
- If the disk is totally damaged then it could occur.
Solution:
- If it is a unformatted disk then u know what u have to do.Yes Format It.
- In this case try running a drive cleaner through the floppy drive.
- It is a bad floppy. It might have a bad sector in it and the drive can't read it.
- The disk might be damaged.
- If there is any problem of Bad Sector in the diskette then you should transfer the data from the Bad Sector to a Good Sector by using the NDD(Norton Disk Doctor) Command of the Norton Utility. You can also point out the Bad Sector as bad and make the diskette usable.
- If the Diskette is not readable then it could be turned into readable by formatting (Formatting will erase its memory) it.
I’m getting Error message: Track O Bad.
It doesn’t happened with me but yes this can occur in any PC.The necessary reasons behind this and how To solve this problem(I’m getting Error message: Invalid media/Track O Bad.) is Listed Below:
Cause:
- If the diskette is damaged then the error comes.
- If there is any problem in the Head of the Disk Drive then it occurs.
Solution:
- If the problem is of the damaged track of the diskette then you should check it by giving the Format Command on a Blank Diskette Drive. If the Diskette is then readable or Formatable then the Diskette is damaged. For that you should replace it with a working one.
- If you want to try to save the diskettes (verify that they are really bad):
- Cleaning the heads on the drive.
- Formatting in another drive (with clean heads of course).
- Bulk-erasing the diskette. - You can Try formatting that disk.
- If the Diskette is not readable or Formatable after doing the test written above then the Diskette is right and the problem is of the Drive. For this you should clean the Head by using the HEAD CLEANER. If it not work then you should service the Drive. If it also not work then the Drive is totally damaged and then you should replace it.

Power coming to monitor without display.
In many cases it happens that there is no display in your computer but power is there.It is a real problem many of us faces.I find solution for it in many where so i want to make a complete solution against (“ No display on monitor ”, “ Power coming still no display to monitor ”) this.
Why there is No Display in Your Monitor?
- Monitor display and High Voltage section can be Damaged.
- Display Card can be damaged.
- Power supply’s power good signal can be disconnected.
- Monitor’s Brightness control Knob might not be in right position.
- Ram is not properly set is ram slot/can be damaged.
- There can be problem on Motherboard.
How to get display in your Monitor?
- If the Brightness control knob is not in right position then first u have to move the brightness control knob to set it to right position.
- If the above solving technique couldn’t solve ur problem then it might be problem with your display card.In this case you have to buy a video card(Monochrome/VGA).If it works then the previous card is damaged.
- If the above techniques doesn’t solve ur problem then check ur monitor by replacing another monitor to it to check whether the monitor is proper or not.If it works then it will be a problem with your monitor.Then you have to open the video section of the monitor and check the parts(Resistance,Diode,Transistor,Capacitor) and if needed u might have to change some parts.
- In many cases this problem arise due to Ram.If the Ram is not properly set in the RAM slot,Ram can be damaged.Well in this case first u have to check that Ram is properly set in Ram Slot or not.If it is there then U must have to check the Ram chips.U have to replace the Ram with another Ram to check whether the Ram is fine or not.There can be also problem with ur Ram slot.In this case u must have to put ur Ram to another motherboard to check Ur ram slot is ok or not.If it is the case then u have to replace it.
- If the above reason’s are not in your case well then u have to open the Add-in-Card:
- If any of the above reason is not for ur one then it should be a problem with ur motherboard.So for that u have to connect all of you PC devices to a another motherboard and see it works or not.If it works then u have to check ur motherboard to see where in the motherboard the problem arise.In many cases it happens with FRONT PANNEL CONNECTOR.In ur case it might be something else.

Insert System disk and Press anykey to continue.
This is a very fatal error. It can even cause certain damage to ur Hard Disk.U might have to load Operating System again.So be careful about this error!
Why this(Insert System disk and Press anykey to continue.) error occurs?
- Operating System File can be deleted from HARD DISK.
- Hard Disk can be damaged.
- Daisy chain and Power connection might not be proper.
How to solve this ERROR?
- First from the SETUP UTILITY You have to press the IDE HDD Auto Detection.If it can detect the HARD DISK then the HARD DISK is fine(HARD DISK motor is properly working or not).In this case from a bootable disk you have to boot computer and from floppy disk/CD/DVD drive you have to transfer system files
to HARD DISK.
- If from the SETUP UTILITY by pressing the IDE HDD Auto Detection it can’t detect HARD DISK then you must have to check that connections are properly working or n’t.
- If this all doesn’t work then your Computer HARD DISK might be damaged.You have to repair/Replace it.
