TYPES OF

COMPUTER
SYSTEM ERROR
•THERE ARE SEVERAL ERRORS IN A
COMPUTER FROM THE POINT YOU OPEN IT
UP TO THE POINT YOU REACH THE STAND
BY WINDOW (REACHING STANDBY
WINDOWS MEANS BOOT PROCESS HAS NO
ERROR).
•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.
2. No Video Output
- Same as number
one but now the
LED indicator of
your monitor is in
steady orange color.
•3. DOESN'T BOOT -
WHEN YOU OPEN YOUR
PC IT WILL SHOW THE
PROCESSOR’S BRAND
AND/OR THE
MOTHERBOARD’S
BRAND BUT DOESN'T
CONTINUE. USUALLY
THIS ERROR WILL
RESULT TO SYSTEM
RESTART OVER AND
OVER AGAIN.
•4. 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.
5. Lots of pop up windows showing on standby mode - This also happens even if you
try disconnecting your computer set from the internet. This is what we called aftershock
virus which will continue to run even if internet is disconnected.
6. Lots of hardware installation windows appear - This happens even if you try
installing the hardware. When you restart your set it will happen again.
7. Safe mode doesn't work - When you try going to
safe mode, all you will see is a list of files in Command
prompt style.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. Application causes system to restart - Just like the mouse problem,
when you open a program that will take the whole screen like for example
a game and/or a program applications, when you close it, it will cause
your system to restart.
Aside from the common computer errors, computers also can have
different Operating System (OS) errors. OS errors can be classified
into various categories such as:

1.System errrors
2.Run time errors
3.Stop errors
4.Device Manager Errors
5.POST code errors
6.Application errors
7.Browser Status codes
1. System errors – These are moderately
dangerous types of errors among those that can pop
up on your PC. System errors are caused by
malfunctioning hardware components, corrupted
operating system modules, etc.
2. Runtime errors – Runtime errors are caused by
corrupted or malfunctioning system files or software
executables. Most runtime errors cause the application
that caused it to shut down. However, more serious
runtime errors may cause the system to become unstable
or unresponsive, suggesting that you should restart your
computer.
3. Stop errors – Stop errors are caused by
corrupted hardware, especially
malfunctioning RAM modules and bad
sectors on hard disks. Stop errors can be
difficult to resolve at times.
4. Device Manager Errors – These are usually
caused by corrupted driver files or malfunctioning
hardware components. In case of the former
cause, the problem is often solved by reinstalling
or updating the drivers. However, the latter cause
can often be solved only by replacing hardware
components .
5. POST code errors – POST code errors
are caused by malfunctioning hardware
components, and are characterized by
short beep sounds from the tiny internal
speaker of your motherboard. POST code
errors occur when you press the power
button to turn on your PC.
6. Application errors – These can happen at
any point of time. As the name suggests,
these are caused by applications while those
are running. These are commonly caused by
glitches in the program code itself. These are
normally resolved by updating the program
to its latest version.
7. Browser Status Codes – These are caused by
problems faced by browsers when trying to access a
website. These can be caused by misplaced web
pages in the server of the website itself, or due to
connection problems. For instance, a 404 error
would indicate that the browser is trying to access a
webpage that does not exist in the specified
location.

YOUR COMPUTER SET FROM THE INTERNET. THIS IS
WHAT WE CALLED AFTERSHOCK VIRUS WHICH CONTINUES TO RUN
EVEN IF INTERNET IS DISCONNECTED.
______3. THESE ARE MODERATELY DANGEROUS TYPES OF ERRORS
AMONG THOSE THAT CAN POP UP ON YOUR PC. SYSTEM
ERRORS ARE CAUSED BY MALFUNCTIONING HARDWARE
COMPONENTS, CORRUPTED OPERATING SYSTEM
MODULES.
______4. CAUSED BY CORRUPTED OR MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM
FILES OR SOFTWARE EXECUTABLES. MOST RUNTIME
ERRORS CAUSE THE APPLICATION TO SHUT DOWN.
______5. JUST LIKE THE MOUSE PROBLEM, WHEN YOU OPEN A
PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE THE WHOLE SCREEN LIKE
FOR EXAMPLE A GAME AND/OR A PROGRAM APPLICATION, WHEN
YOU CLOSE IT, IT WILL CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM TO
RESTART.
______6. 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.
YOU WILL HEAR A LOADING SOUND AND THEN THE
SOUND STOPS, WHEN YOU TRY RUNNING
AN AUDIO FILE, NO SOUND WILL BE HEARD.

______11. THESE CAN BE CAUSED AT ANY POINT OF TIME.
AS THE NAME SUGGESTS, THESE ARE CAUSED BY
APPLICATIONS WHILE RUNNING. THESE ARE USUALLY
CAUSED BY GLITCHES IN THE PROGRAM CODE ITSELF.
