Came across the following post on MSE forum - thought it might be entertaining.

I don't even know where to start with separating truth from fiction:

in my years of experience this always fixes 99% of common problems:
1:- always try installing latest drivers / bios / windows update
Why?
Because new drivers and bios and windows updates ALWAYS fix stuffs

2:- System cannot boot/funny beeping sound/no display
reseat video card (make sure the gold connectors below sit flush into the slot of the motherboard)

reseat rams (the clips on both side must go in fully) - USUALLY THE MAIN REASON

reseat cpu and heatsink

check whether motherboard is being shorted by any metal

This is the bit I particularly find amusing:

"Because new drivers and bios and windows updates ALWAYS fix stuffs"

In my (limited?) experience, its installing drivers and updates that usually causes a lot of issues
