Setting up a computer system and booting

Desmond Akachukwu

13 Jul, 2022

Booting a laptop

Booting a laptop computer is very easy. follow this one step procedure to boot up your laptop

Press and hold the power button for 5 second

After 5 seconds, the power indicator should be lit showing you that your system is working. if the power indicator fails to lit, it is a direct sign that your laptop is not ready to boot.

ADVICE :

If the power indicator is not lit after 5 seconds it might be a sign that your system is not charged.
Plug your system to a power supply and see if it boots, if it doesn't, you might neeed the help of a professional.

Booting a Desktop

The first thing to do when booting a desktop computer is its wire connection. if you desktop computer is not connected, follow these procedures to set things up :

CONNECT THE MONITOR

connect one end of the monitor cable to the CPU and the other end to the monitor. Monitor cables include HDMI, USB-C, VGA etc

CONNECT THE MOUSE AND THE KEYBOARD

Connect the keyboard to any suitable Port in the CPU
Connect the mouse to the back of the CPU
You can also connect your mouse to the keyboard

CONNECT SPEAKERS AND HEADPHONES

Connect you audio cable to the green audio port at the back or front of the CPU

CONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CABLES

Connect one end of the power cable to the back of the CPU and the other end to a power supply
Connect the monitor power cable to back of the monitor and the other end ti a power supply

YOUR DESKTOP CONNECTION IS COMPLETE
Turn on the CPU and the monitor by pressing their power button.

ADVICE :

I will advice you to connect the power cables to a surge protector and avoid connecting the them to the power supply directly. This will protect your system from a power surge.

× > Press windows + L to lock the screen of your computer. Avoid using the power button as this may crash your system.
