Here are Seven of the Most Common Computer Problems that you can resolve with the basic technical know how:  

 

Blue Screen of Death


The blue screen of death STOP Error may appear to be one of the scariest computer problems that could happen.  But all you really need to address this problem is to reboot your computer.  This STOP error appears on your screen for such reasons as failing hardware, damaged software, corrupt DLL files, problems with drivers and others. The remedy for a blue screen of death depends on the original problem. The screen provides you with codes that can help you identify and fix your computer problems. 


The PC Won't Turn On 


You hit the power button and nothing happens. Any number of things can cause this computer problem — it may be something as simple as a loose cord, or as serious as a dead power supply.  The simple cause may just be anything from a dead or unplugged monitor to a dead hard drive or corrupted boot sector.

Missing DLL File


Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) files house information for your operating system on how to perform certain functions. Occasionally, your computer loses DLL files or something damages them. When your PC can't read the particular DLL file, it doesn't know how to respond in certain situations. If your computer is having such problems, you can restore your files by downloading them back onto your PC.

Applications Won't Install


If you're having trouble with an application not installing, it may be because your computer doesn't have enough hard drive space. If this is the case, you need to free up some space. This is one of the computer problems that's, well, least problematic. You can free up some hard drive space by getting rid of files and folders you don't need.

Applications Run Slowly


There are several reasons software might be running at turtle speed. You may have computer problems that involve your operating system or an application, your operating system might be missing updates or your computer doesn't have enough hard drive space. If you don't have enough hard drive space, you can scan, clean and optimize your hard drive.

Abnormal Applications Behavior


Computer problems that involve applications acting strangely oftentimes leave you wondering what has happened. Your application has been working just fine, but now, seemingly without reason, it is doing something strange. If this thing happens, try restarting your computer. Conducting an internet search for the type of problem you're experiencing or consulting your user manual may help you too.

 

Overheating 


Dying fans, poor ventilation, or even heavy use can create computer problems as the PC heats up. Most computers are designed to shut down when things get too hot, as a precaution against permanent hardware damage, but it can be pretty alarming when a machine just switches off seemingly out of nowhere.  Overheating can cause all sorts of other computer problems. Overheating can cause mouse glitches, strange performance in software, or lockups, while an overheating video card can cause the display to momentarily fail.
