Solutions to Some of the Most Common Computer Issues

Computers are devices that are significant to accomplish daily tasks at work, in school, or at home.

However, there are instances wherein your daily routine may be disrupted because of the particular issues that you encounter with your computer. In this case, it will be a good idea to get to know some of the most common computer problems and how you will be able to go about resolving them.

Computer Won’t Power Up

One of the most common computer problems experienced by PC owners is when their devices fail to power up. In this case, it is a good idea to try and solve your computer problems first by isolating the issue and checking the power supply. Also, make sure that your monitor or display is functional by trying to connect to another monitor. In parallel to this, take off all your external hardware because these peripherals can be the culprit.

Computer Is Slow

Another common issue encountered by PC users is when their computer has a slow performance. This is brought about by various factors, but it is more likely for older computers to have this problem, although new models may experience it too. In this case, you can open the Task Manager to see whether hidden programs are running, which prove to be resource-intensive. You also have the option of disabling a startup program or scanning for any malware or adware, which can likewise affect the performance of your system.

Slow Internet

It can be quite frustrating to have a slow internet connection, and while it is often the case that this problem can be attributed to your internet service provider (ISP), there are also instances wherein it is your computer that is causing the issue. To accurately identify the root cause of the problem and address it accordingly, you can restart your modem or try and fix your Wi-Fi signal. This is because sometimes a power fluctuation may cause an overload in your modem. Otherwise, check whether the drivers of your computer are working properly.

Noisy Hard Drive

Hard drives are designed to produce a certain sound, but more often than not, the sound is soft and negligible. In case you hear a distinct noise coming from your computer, isolate first whether it is coming from your hard drive. As soon as you are sure that your hard drive is the source of the noise, you can already run a hardware diagnostic software to see the specific issue it is encountering. From there, you will be able to determine if the issue can still be resolved or you already need to invest in a new hard drive.

Noisy Hard Drive

 

To wrap things up, the computer problems above are only some of the common issues that you may encounter. In case you experience computer trouble that you deem is already out of your hands, then it is best to seek the services of a seasoned computer technician. In this way, there is a greater chance that you get back your computer working properly with all your files stored in it still intact.
