Introduction

This website is dedicated to helping people whose PC does not start or boot. We focus on the problems that arise if you cannot use your PC anymore, it just won't start up at all. 

The guide is for people with laptop or desktop computers that run windows XP or windows Vista although much content also applies to older computers.

We will help you to bring your PC back to life, reanimate your PC! We all know that artificial respiration and heart massage will not work, that's why we have 7 scenario's which you can follow to solve your problem.

It is a complete step by step troubleshooting guide to get your PC up and running again without data loss! (unless your hard disk would be completely dead, most of the time, this will not be the case)

If you actually have this problem right now, you are probably reading this website on a spare computer, the children’s computer, at a friend or maybe even in an internet café. 

We also have a forum linked to the guide so feel free to post any related question in the forum!
