What to Do When Your PC Won’t Boot怎么办时，你的电脑将无法启动

My kids’ PC, which is a bit of a hybrid machine that I put together a couple of years ago from cannibalized parts, was getting stuck at the boot stage.我的孩子们的电脑，这是一个有点混合机器，我把几年前从拆解零部件，越来越停留在启动阶段。 The boot-up screen claimed it recognized the primary master (boot) hard drive, but that was as far as it would go.在启动屏幕上宣称它承认的首要船长（开机）硬盘驱动器，但这是尽可能将去。 Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD) didn’t prove of much use and even disconnecting the various PCI cards, the DVD re-writer and the slave hard drive had no impact.终极引导光盘（ UBCD ）没有证明的大部分使用，甚至断开的各种PCI卡， DVD光碟重新作家和奴隶硬盘驱动器没有影响。 I re-set the BIOS to default values, but to no avail.我重新设置BIOS的默认值，但无济于事。

A quick search for the phrase “capable and status ok” together with “Boot problem” brought up a快速搜索短语“能够和地位确定”连同“开机问题”提出了 page网页 that mentioned提到 the CMOS battery在CMOS电池 on the motherboard.在主板上。 On reading this, a little lightswitch flipped in my head and reading further I saw the final clue as to how get this mother unstuck - jumpers.读此，有点lightswitch翻转在我的头部和进一步阅读我看到最后的线索，如何让这个母亲unstuck -跳投。 Yes, jumpers, those little metal pins that protrude from motherboards and can be “shorted” with a little brass connector.是的，跳投，这些小金属引脚，突出从母板和可以“短路”的小黄铜连接器。 Incidentally, you shouldn’t touch the contact faces of these little lithium batteries, as the grease from your fingers will cause them problems in the long-run potentially顺便说一句，你不应该接触面接触这些小锂电池，作为油脂从你的手指会引起他们的问题从长远来看可能 reducing battery life减少电池寿命 . 。

Next to the CMOS battery is just such a clutch of jumpers, the brass connector straddles two of three in the default position, but moving it to the other two of the triplet has the effect of resetting everything when you reboot.旁边的CMOS电池就是这样一个关键的跳投，黄铜连接器横跨两三个在预设的立场，但将其移至其他两个的三重作用是重置一切当你重新启动。

So, that done, I thought the machine would happily boot up, and it did kind of, it went past the POST page and on to the settings but then a flash of something unreadable about boots and sectors was replaced by a single blinking cursor.所以，这做，我还以为机器将愉快地启动，它没有种，它走过的帖子页，并以设置但随后闪光的东西不可读的靴子和部门改为一个闪烁的光标。

One more try at CMOS resetting, but this time with the Windows XP CD in the machine to catch the boot as the machine restarts got me back to the Windows setup program, thankfully, and the option to reinstall or restore.一个在更多的尝试的CMOS重置，但是这一次的Windows XP光盘的机器赶上启动的机器重新启动，让我回Windows安装程序，感激，并选择重新安装或还原。 Reluctantly, I took the latter option, so that I could get the kids’ machine back to a pristine state, now all seems hunky dory and AVG Antivirus is currently scanning both hard drives for cr*p, of which it has found a little already and immediately vaulted.不情愿，我采取了后一种选择，因此，我能得到孩子们的机器恢复到原始状态，现在一切似乎虎背熊腰，脚蹬dory和AVG防毒扫描，目前这两个硬盘河*磷，它已经发现了一种已经很少并立即拱形。

Moral of the tale?道德的故事？ Sometimes you really do have to reset a PC back to its original state to get a functional POST-BOOT-OS sequence.有时候，你真的要重置PC恢复到其原始状态，以获得一个功能后启动操作系统序列。 Thank goodness for jumpers.谢天谢地的跳投。
