Troubleshooting a Dead Computer

Troubleshooting a dead PC is a reasonably simple process which requires the technician to follow several steps to isolate the probable cause of the failure and then replace that part with a known good one. To assist in the process, computers will provide clues, technically referred to as beep codes, unless the system is completely incapacitated, in which case a parts swap process, beginning with the power supply, is the only course of action.
