We all know the frustration of having a computer problem or a mystery error appear on our screens and it seems as if we need a degree in computer science to figure out a solution. With so many advances in technology, inexperienced tech users can sometimes find it difficult to access the solutions that are available. This blog post aims to provide answers to common computer problems and will guide you through some basic steps on how to resolve them.
Hardware Issues
Hardware issues are the most common, and they can range from something as simple as a broken keyboard key to malfunctioning memory sticks or hard drives. All of these problems can be challenging to solve depending on your level of technical expertise.
Start-up failures/Black screen/Freezing computer: This is usually a result of hardware failure and can be difficult to solve. The first step is to check if there’s any physical damage to any of the hardware components or if there is any dust buildup that can affect the functionality of the components. If physical damage is found, it’s best to take the machine to a trained technician who can assess and repair the damage. If this is not the case, it’s possible to troubleshoot the problem by running a diagnostic tool, as provided by the manufacturer, or using a reliable antivirus program.
Broken hard drive: again, this is a hardware issue that needs to be fixed by a professional technician. If the hard drive itself is broken, there’s usually no way of recovering the data that’s stored on it, although there are services which provide data recovery services in the case of more serious damage.
Software Issues
Software issues are more easily resolved than hardware issues as they involve updating programs and making sure that all software components are compatible with each other and up-to-date. This type of issue requires less technical knowledge and so can be managed by non-technical users.
Virus/Malware: To address any virus or malware issues, you must have a reliable antivirus program installed on your device. Antivirus programs scan your device for any malicious files and will report back any threats which should then be deleted or quarantined. If you don’t have an antivirus program installed, it’s important to download one from a reliable source straight away. Once installed, make sure that it is updated regularly to stay protected from new forms of digital threats.
Software incompatibilities: this can occur when downloading programs which are not compatible with the current operating system. To check whether you’re downloading programs which are compatible with your device, check their minimum requirements before downloading. In most cases, you will be able to check these requirements before purchasing the software, so be sure to review them.
System errors: System errors can occur due to a multitude of reasons — some due to corrupt files, some due to outdated drivers, and others due to incompatible software. To resolve these errors, it’s often necessary to use a system repair tool or reinstall Windows if the problem is severe. To avoid these system errors, always make sure that your drivers and software are up-to-date.
Networking Issues
Networking issues occur due to problems with the internet connection, which can be anything from slow speeds to complete connection losses. These issues can often be caused by problems with the modem or router, but can also be related to settings within the operating system itself.
Slow internet connection: this can be due to a number of different factors and can range from problems with the settings on your router or modem, to settings within your operating system. It’s important to make sure that all settings are properly configured for maximum performance and that all components are up-to-date.
Complete connection loss/Unidentified Network: this type of issue is usually caused by an incorrect setting on either the router or within the operating system settings. It’s important to double-check all the configurations and resetting anything that may have been changed recently. It’s also important to make sure that interference from other nearby networks are not causing any disruption.
Timeouts/Connection Interruptions: this type of issue is usually caused by a hardware problem and so requires a technician to fix it. These types of issues may require replacing faulty components such as modems or routers, depending on the cause.
Data Recovery Issues
Data recovery can be difficult as there are many components involved; however, with the right tools and knowledge it is possible to recover lost files and data even if they seem beyond repair.
Accidental deletion of files: this can happen for many reasons but fortunately there are ways of restoring data which have been lost in this way. One way of recovering lost files is by using a data recovery tool such as Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard; these tools will allow you to scan your system for lost files and restore them back onto your device.
Hard drive damage: when hard drives become damaged, it can be difficult or impossible to recover the data without professional help. This is because although there are some software tools available which can allow you to scan and restore data, there are usually components within the hard drive which will need replacing to ensure full recovery. In cases such as these, it’s best to take the machine to a professional technician who will be able to diagnose the problem and provide a solution.
Deleted partitions/Missing drives: When partitions or drives go missing, it’s usually due to a malfunctioning or failing storage device or hard drive. In such cases, it’s best to consult a professional technician who is able to identify the cause of the problem and recover any lost data.
Data corruption: Data corruption can occur due to errors during transfers or corrupt file systems and can result in loss of information. To remedy this issue, it’s best to use specialized software designed for recovering data from damaged drives. Examples include EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard and OnTrack EasyRecovery.
