How to Detect Common Computer Problems


The using of an electronic devices including computer certainly caused problems during the working time. Maybe just an operating problems or even worse “crash” between applications installed or the lost of data
within. All these major common computer problems and be handled if we doing maintenance actions to prevents problems ahead. The following tips below shows us how to detect the most common computer problems.

Steps to detecting what’s going on to your computer:
1. Check the POST. POST stands for Power On Self Test. This is generally the first or second thing that appears on a computer after turning on the power. This appears before the operating system begins to load. The POST will display any problems found with hardware that makes the computer unable to boot, POST may also display problems with hardware that allow the computer to boot, but not operate at its full capacity during operation.
2. Notice the operating system booting time. If it takes longer time than usual, it means something is slow it down the performance.
3. Perform a mandatory clean up and tune up procedures. It will keep your computer to its maximum performance.
4. Check on the new hardware installed. Many of new hardware installed can cause, malfunction to the main systems. To check and arrange hardware properties jus click on the Device Manager from Control
Panel, click System icon, go to Hardware tab, then Device Manager.
5. Check on the new software installed. Just like the hardware, many of software or application could cause a crash system while it works. For prevent it happens, you could uninstalled the software that caused
crash systems and in the feature have a better check out on the software compatibility with your system installed.
6. Check RAM and CPU consumption. Use the Task Manager to check on, click taskbar select Task Manager, and select Processes tab.

Common Problems:
Slow Computer Performance
There are so many factors that can cause slow running laptop includes:
1.    Hard Drive Capacity
The hard drive capacity is the easiest part you can check on. When the computer not performs as fast as usual, the hard drive capacity is the first aspect you can check on. Just easily go to “my computer” and
then right click on the “properties”, it will popup the capacity you’ve been used and how much spaces available. If the hard drive capacity is used up 90% it’s a red alert for you. Immediately backup your data into another media, into a DVD or flashdrive, or just uninstall rarely used/ no longer need applications and delete unused files to save up hard drive capacity. Performs hard drive defragment or used software to clean up your computers.
2.    Virus
Virus is the major problems in computers problem these global connection days. It will interrupt the standard application algorithm. To clean up your computer from viruses, you must install an antivirus (recommended from the famous vendors)

Heaten Up Computers
Heaten up computers could be caused by several things, such as the decrease of cooling system performance or even the malfunctions of the application installed that caused th hardware works too hard and
finally caused an extra heat on. If that happens, just buy a new cooling systems part to replace the old parts. Or if the problem is software, then uninstalled the software.
