Computer errors are very common and every computer user may face different kinds of issues so they should learn about the solutions of the common computer related problems. The common factors that cause problems in computer are viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, adware, corrupted registry, faulty hardware, low memory, low capacity hard disk, low CPU speed and stuffing computers with large number of software applications. In this article, I have compiled a list of the most common computer problems and their solutions.
Computer is very slow
This is very common issue and it arises due to the several factors such as too many programs running at the startup, low RAM, low processor speed, spyware running as a background application, errors in the Windows registry and the buildup of the garbage files on the hard disk. Scanning your computer with an up-to-dated anti virus and anti spyware program, cleaning and repairing Windows registry, increasing memory, deleting temporary files, deselecting the programs at startup and uninstalling unwanted software applications can solve this problem to a very large extent.
Network Server is not accessible
In a networked environment every computer depends on the server for logon authentication, files access, internet and printing access and sharing server resources. The downtime and the communication failure with the server are very problematic and frustrating for the users. Check both end of the network cable and make sure that the attached RJ-45 connectors are properly plugged into the LAN card and hub/switch. Ping the server’s IP and make sure you get the reply from server. Ensure that your server is on and working fine. A large number of the running applications on the server and simultaneous access to the server from a number of users can slow down the performance and speed of the server. Scan your PC with an up-to-dated antivirus program because certain viruses and spyware are responsible for the communication failure. Replace your LAN card with new one and assign different IP address and try to connect with the server.
Computer locks up or freezes
Missing .dll files, viruses, faulty registry, defective RAM and spyware slows down the performance of the server and it locks up frequently. Scanning PC with the anti virus and anti spyware program, cleaning and repairing registry and increasing RAM can solve this issue.
Computer won’t boot
Faulty power cable, power extension and power supply all contributes to this problem. Checking one by one each of the above components can pinpoint the problematic part. Simply replace that part with new one and your compute is okay.
Computer reboots itself
Defective cooling fan, power supply, RAM, viruses and spyware can cause this to happen.
Memory usage is maximum in computer
Either the memory is less than the recommend memory to run certain applications, swap memory chips with each other, scan your computer for viruses and spyware, increasing the page file and physical memory can overcome this problem.
Browser’s home page has changed itself
This is most likely a spyware problem and scanning computer with an up-to-dated anti spyware program can fix this issue.
Computer’s clock losing time
If you see that your computer’s clock is losing time frequently replace your CMOS battery.
My computer can’t get connected to internet
Check IP address, gateway address, scan your PC for viruses and spyware, check network cables and make sure that server’s or gateway’s firewall application is not blocking http requests from your PC.
Computer making noises
Faulty RAM, VGA, hard disk, Sound card, Processor and other components produce noises. Make sure that each hardware device is properly connected inside the PC and if the problem is still not resolved then replace the faulty hardware component with new one.

Defragment your drive regularly.
Check how many programs you have running on startup, to many will slow down pc.
Then download and use these programs for security.
Do full scans first time then run them every so often.
Adaware, spyware remover.
Spybot search and destroy 1.5
Free avg anti- virus
ccleaner ( removes cookies, temp files etc )
http://www.cnet.com Tons of video show you how to do anything, gadget, software and is free.
I rebuilt my partner's acer aspire after it blew up. She was always complaining it ran too slow. She had everything but the kitchen sink on it. I bought her a new computer and re-built hers, but this time made sure it was lean and mean – no programs I hardly ever used. Still had XP, Dragon naturally speaking, Office 2007, so it had lots of heavy duty programs, just not any unnecessary ones.. It is now lightning fast. My best recommendation is therefore, although a bit drastic, to back up to an external drive all the files and programs you think you may want and then do a clean install. Good article here:

If that's a bit too much for you and you just want a free all in one cleaner I've found Glary Utilities to be the best. Run this regularly and it will certainly speed up your computer, or stop it slowing down further. Download here:
http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html?tag=download
That one does everything the paid for ones do, and the registry cleaner is less aggressive than some of the better known ones.
Also don't forget some anti-virus programs are notorious for slowing the computer down. NTL Net-guard/Virgin PC-guard being one example.
when i defrag i notice i loose space, not much, but i loose it slowly through the defragmentation, like says its at 98.8GB, it would go down to say 98.5GB after abit, and keep going down, by the end of the defragmentation ive lost about 1-3GB
should I Defragment on a set schedule, or only if I notice a slowdown?
your local sbdc or community development office can offer individualized help.
have you developed a business plan?
What are your financing options?
Have you defined where to get parts and tools?
What are the demographics of your customers- individuals or businesses?
does your business have a name? make up some cards and post them around town. many libraries, stores and gas stations provide bulletin boards to help spread the word.
Try vidoejug.com They have videos to help with computers. Hope it helps.
YOUR GAY!
man your ugly
Get a flash drive and put some stuff on it.
Also, you can clean up fragmented files (on a PC) by doing a Defrag:
To do this, go to My Computer, Right click on "Local Disk(C:)" and choose "Properties." Under the "Tools" tab, find where it says "Disk Defragmentation" and select "Defragment Now."
This shouldn't do any harm to your computer or files, but might clear up a little extra space for you!
If you have a Mac, I dunno what to tell you…
kick ass
only when you notice that your computer is slowing down, Be careful using a defragmantation software though, i used it back when it was windows xp, it made my disk drive bananas.
Can you please explain you question ?
I like this guys vids they help alot
use a q-tip?
Follow these steps to do computer maintenance.
- run Disk Cleanup – from the System Tools section of Accessories
- Open My Computer, then Right Click on your C drive and pick PROPERTIES. Pick the Tools section and click on CHECK NOW. Check both tests, and YES, let it run after you restart. You see, CHECK DISK will ensure that your hard drive is working completely. This test might take an hour or so.
- run DEFRAG – from the System Tools section of Accessories.
Keep your anti-virus solution up to date, and run a full scan weekly.
Keep your anti-spyware solution up to date, and run a full scan every few days. I recommend the free SpyBot Search & Destroy that you can get from http://www.download.com
Do all of this regularly, and your computer will run better.
Good luck and Happy Computing!
