The computers and troubleshooting pc

Computers, like any other electronic devices may break and require troubleshooting. A computer is made of electrical components which can be faulty, but also software that can cause errors computer software type that have nothing to do with a defective cards or components of the computer.

The first step in troubleshooting computer of a PC is to find if the problem is physical or software. Of course if it is turned on the PC does not display lights or your computer are not illuminated, it is certainly a problem of power and therefore physical.

If the computer starts but crashes, freezes, restarts, or loses the display, it can be a problem computer software or hardware. The bad driver for a device, a virus, or faulty memory can cause this. A bad sector illegible on the hard drive can slow down and even freeze a computer, if the file is assigned a pilot or other file criticism.

The slowdown of a computer is often a problem of infection by a virus, the available space on the hard disk is too small, a card that was added to the PC is incompatible or is a resource conflict with another device the computer. It is rarely a problem as a hardware card that is dead.

The IDE-type devices such as hard disks, CD or DVD may give the impression that the computer is frozen or very slow. The access of computer components IDE type that are difficult, like reading a bad sector on a hard drive or playing a DVD which is not legible will cause failures, hesitations ... I've seen DVDs that prevented the PC to start if you left in the drive.

Some problems computers are not constant. The computer is well and suddenly it closes this as a power outage. You make sure everything is well connected and try again, everything is fine ... then later, it still this farm. So an intermittent problem.

The intermittent problems are difficult to isolate. I've seen computers that do cause problems once a week, it is hard to find the room or software fault. We must make an assessment of the frequency of an intermittent problem, as the computer freezes in one hour of use. Once the frequency determined we will change parts to see if the problem goes quite. If it goes on quite return the suspected room to see if the PC freezes again to be on.

Of course, to computers that have problems once in use, check for viruses or adware that can infect your PC. For problems with software in particular, designers often have a site and a troubleshooting section for their programs. Updates settle 99% of software problems.

We must therefore begin by determining whether the problem is hardware or software type. If the problem of the PC is intermittent, it must be a statistic on the frequency of the problem and then try to determine the source. An audit of free disk space and the presence of viruses or adware should be made periodically.
