Most Common Computer Problems and Their Solutions

Dealing with an unresponsive computer can be very frustrating, especially if you are at the edge of completing an urgent task. Some computer problems are simple and can be fixed easily by making some simple adjustments. However, some are complex and require the attention of a reputable technician. In this blog post, we are going to discuss common computer problems and their solutions.

  1. Overheating

Overheating is a common computer problem that many people who own computers deal with on a daily basis. Overheating not only slows down the computer but also causes frequent crashes. If the problem is not fixed on time, then it can also damage other crucial components due to constant heat exposure. Your computer may be heating because of two main reasons. They include overworking the PC and failing the cooling system. The solution to this problem is fixing the cooling system and ensuring that you don’t overwork your computer.

  1. Frozen screen

A frozen screen means that your computer is not responsive. If your computer freezes, then the best solution is to reboot the computer. In fact, it is the only solution that you have. Freezing is a clear sign that your computer files are corrupt, the RAM is insufficient or there is a registry conflict. If rebooting does not work, then you should consider upgrading your computer RAM and installing antivirus to clear spyware and corrupt files.

  1. Blank screen

If your computer screen is blank, then it means that there is a connection problem between the PC and the screen. Check to see if the monitor is connected to the power source. Also, check to see if the cable that connects the monitor and the PC is in good condition. If not then you should replace it with a brand new one.

  1. Slow computer

If your computer is extremely slow, then that is a clear sign that it is struggling too much to comply with your commands. One of the main reasons why your computer is slow is that the hard disk is full of corrupt files, spyware. Insufficient RAM can also slow your computer. The best solution to this is clearing junk from the hard disk, installing an antivirus, and boosting your computer RAM.

  1. Computer not turning ON

If you try to switch your computer ON but you realize that it is not responding or it turns on shortly then suddenly shut off, then that is a clear sign that the power supply or the motherboard is failing. If they are not dead, then it is just a matter of time before they completely fail. Check to see if the power supply is still intact. If yes, then the problem lies on the motherboard.

  1. Strange noises

If you notice strange noises coming from the PC, then that is a clear sign that the fun or the computer hard drive has malfunctioned. Hard drives usually make strange noises before they fail. Therefore, if you notice strange noises coming from your PC, then you should take quick action and backup all important data on an external hard drive. If the problem lies on the fan, then all that you need to do is replace it with a new one.
