Troubleshooting A Computer Problem

Let’s see if I can name your problem: sluggish, slow, locking up, freezing, blue screens, restarting for no reason, mouse just moving on it’s own, you out typing the computer (and you type with only 2 fingers), and programs just experiencing the “serious error” and wants to report it to Microsoft. Any of those sound vaguely familiar? I know they do to me, and I have experienced them all, and have fixed them all. So, let’s see how we go about troubleshooting a computer problem.

First, did you just install, update, or upgrade something? If you did, that is the problem. You will need to restart your computer and uninstall, or roll back the driver for your component. If your computer will not start up normally, then you need to start it up in safe mode. To do this, press one of the “F” keys when it is starting up. This key varies for the different machines out there. Then tell the system to start up in safe mode. You can then uninstall the software or drivers you just installed, and start back up in normal. That will take care of the problem.

If you did not install anything, the first thing I would do is to fix my registry files. These little files tell the computer what to do with the programs installed on your computer. They tell how the program should operate. If any of these get messed up, corrupted, or even deleted, it can cause some serious headaches for you, the computer owner.

Do not try to fix this yourself. Download a registry repair software, and run a scan of your computer to see if you have any errors. If you do, the software will tell you what the errors are, and will then fix them for you. This can actually be done in les than 15 minutes. I will guarantee you have errors on your computer. Once you have these fixed, you should really be running well again.

Spyware can slow a machine, and viruses can cause crashed, but I am assuming you at least have a virus scan on your computer. But, most of us don’t do anything with the registry files. And most likely have never even heard of them. So, the above 2 tips should get you on your way to troubleshooting a computer problem.
