Laptop Battery Won't Charge.

There could be many reasons behind that. The first silly question is - are you plugged in? This means, are you plugged into an active electric power outlet? Check that first. Secondly, check if the removable parts of the charging cable are correctly connected. Make sure the connecting contact points are clean. Further, if you previously removed the battery, check whether the battery is correctly inserted into the laptop. Now comes the actual hardware reasons:

• The fuse of the power outlet could get blown due to surge protection. Check the same.
• Unplug the charging cable. Press the power button for 15 seconds. It will drain out the remaining juice from the laptop. Remove the battery. Plug in the charging cable and power up the computer. Now, if it gets switched on, your charging cable is okay, and there may be some problem with the battery.
• You must check another before replacing the faulty battery with a new one. Technically, batteries are highly temperature-dependent. So, if your laptop is overheating for some reason, the battery sensors may get the wrong signal from within and start behaving weirdly.

Finally, if the battery is beyond its lifespan, you must go to a laptop repair shop and look for a healthy battery that fits your laptop.

Laptop Shuts Down Unexpectedly/Frequently

Most of the unexpected laptop shutdown problems originate from heat generation. If the CPU of the PSU temperature reaches a certain level, the system takes an auto shutdown. And there are some probable causes:

• Check the CPU fan. If there is any dirt or dust, clean the same. Do the same with the air inlets & outlets, and check the power supply unit/block.
• There may be hardware failures. , go to 'Device Manager and check for any error reports regarding any hardware part.
• Are you overclocking your GPU or CPU? If yes, you need to know that when you overclock your CPU or GPU for gaming purposes, the system becomes unstable for that added amount of processing pressure. Check everything without overclocking your machine.
• Check the device drivers. If updates are available on them, do it.
• Check for malware and Viruses. Having an anti-malware or antivirus program on your laptop is always good.

If you feel the overheating issue is beyond your repair skills, go to a laptop repair center and listen to the experts who will make your laptop healthy again.

The laptop is Sluggish,/Programs run slowly.

In this case, the RAM or physical memory plays a cardinal role. Let's say you have installed many programs on your laptop. If most run simultaneously, it's an uphill task for the RAM. More memory processing needs more RAM. So, open the 'Task Manager and check whether this is your issue.

Further, there may be CPU bottlenecking too. If you are an avid gamer and your laptop has a powerful GPU to do the heavy lifting, you can also face a similar issue. In this case, the GPU is beefy enough to do extensive memory processing, but the CPU fails to do extensive processing. So, either way, you get a terrible computing experience.

Blue Screen Error

This problem has many names. It's commonly known as the 'blue screen of death or BSOD. Now, this is a critical issue. This problem surfaces when the OS hits a wall or stops further processing. The OS can not bypass this problem and stops running further. What causes it? There are two main areas to blame. The hardware and hardware driver programs. This can also be generated from the 'Windows Kernel' when it gets exploited by any suspicious or faulty program. But you need to understand this issue properly. When a particular app is glitchy or stops running, it doesn't harm the OS. The App gets stopped, but the OS runs properly with the other apps. Now, when the hardware part or hardware driver software harms the Windows Kernel, the OS faces a STOP error. It can not be processed further from that point. Now, the only option remains, and that's restarting. Thankfully, Windows creates a file, namely 'minidump,' and stores every data that caused the crash or the BSOD. Now, up to Windows 7, you need to look to locate that file and fetch the information. However, Windows 8 and the next version automatically report the issue to the user. So, eventually, if you face a BSOD error, you need to repair your laptop seriously, and there is no other way to go around this problem.
