Some Common Computer Problems

1) Blank Screen

If the computer is on but the

screen is blank, there may be an

issue with the connection between

the computer and the screen.

First, check to see if the monitor

is plugged into a power point and

that the connection between the

monitor and computer hard drive

is secure. If the problem is on a

the internal wires may be worn. 

2. Abnormally Functioning

Operating System or Software

If the operating system or other

software is either unresponsive or

is acting up, then try restarting

your computer and run a virus

scan. To avoid having this happen,

install reliable anti-virus software.

3 Windows Won’t Boot

If you are having troubles booting

Windows, then you may have to

reinstall it with the Windows

recovery disk. 

4.T Screen is Frozen

When you computer freezes, you

may have no other option than to

reboot and risk losing any

unsaved work. Freezes can be a

sign of insufficient ram, registry

conflicts , corrupt or missing files,

or spyware . Press and hold the

power button until the computer

turns off, then restart it and get to

work cleaning up the system so

that it doesn’t freeze again.

5. Computer is Slow

If your computer is slower than

normal, you can often fix the

problem simply by cleaning the

hard disk of unwanted files. You

can also install a firewall, anti-

virus and anti-spyware tools, and

schedule regular registry scans.

External hard drives are great

storage solutions for overtaxed

CPU’s, and will help your

computer run faster.

6. Strange Noises

A lot of noise coming from your

computer is generally a sign of

either hardware malfunction or a

noisy fan. Hard drives often make

noise just before they fail, so you

may want to back up information

just in case, and fans are very

easy to replace.

7. Slow Internet

To improve your Internet browser

performance, you need to clear

cookies and Internet temporary

files frequently. In the Windows

search bar, type ‘%temp%’ and hit

enter to open the temporary files

folder.
