๐Ÿ’  PC won't start at all

When Windows won't boot, the first priority is your data - not repairs.

  1. Disconnect all USB sticks, printers and external devices.
  2. Restart completely once (not just shut down).
  3. If the login screen is accessible: Hold down the Shift key and select Power โ†’ Restart. Go to Troubleshoot โ†’ Advanced options to find Startup Repair. Do not force a startup failure by repeatedly hard powering down.
  4. Have your BitLocker key ready (if you have one, it will be on a printout or in your Microsoft account).
  5. If there is important data on the PC: Don't try things out wildly โ€“ better get help.
โš ๏ธ Critical

๐Ÿ’พ Suspected hard drive damage

If it clicks, rattles or the PC accesses files extremely slowly.

  1. If there are noises or repeated reading errors, do not attempt further copying or repairs. Switch off the PC and arrange for professional data recovery. Only back up important files if the drive is readable without such warning signs.
  2. Don't start defragmentation anymore!
  3. No more large downloads or installations.
  4. If the drive repeatedly clicks or rattles: stop using it, switch off the PC and seek professional advice about data recovery.
  5. Consider professional data recovery โ€“ do not open the drive!
Important

Repeated blue screens

If the blue screen keeps coming.

  1. Write down the stop code displayed each time (e.g. MEMORY_MANAGEMENT).
  2. Consider: What was last installed? New driver? New program?
  3. Run Windows Memory Diagnostics (mdsched.exe).
  4. If you have set up the overclocking yourself, reverse it specifically with expert help. Do not reset the BIOS across the board: boot mode and encryption may be affected.
  5. If it doesn't get better: ask a professional.
Important

๐Ÿ”’ Possible virus / stranger access

If the PC behaves strangely, pop-ups appear or accounts react strangely.

  1. Disconnect Internet immediately (turn off WiFi or unplug cable).
  2. Do not delete files - they are important for the analysis.
  3. passwords from another device from (mobile phone, other PC).
  4. For company device: Inform IT immediately!
  5. If there is a possible malware infection, plan backup and cleanup with specialist help. Do not connect a backup drive that is always connected; Do not transfer suspicious programs or files to other devices.
โš ๏ธ Note: If you are unsure or important data is affected โ€“ it's better to ask a professionalbefore you do something wrong. Any wrong action can make the situation worse.
