If you imagine a life today, it can’t be without computers.
The magnitude of the use of computers and services people receives through it
can’t be compared with anything else, except of course the people who operate
them. These complicated machines have made our lifestyle simple in more than
one way.
However, the situation gets tricky, when anything goes wrong
with your PC, especially when you don’t know how to fix it?
Another solution would be to take assistance of a computer
technician, but there are many things to consider before you grab your phone to
make a call to the technician.
Why don’t you take computer
diagnosis in your hand for a change? You will then equip yourself of the
information to know if the tech support agent is going in the right direction
and not trying to make you a fool. Some simple tips to get you started on the
same are as follows:
POST- Something your PC
does for itself
The moment a system is switched on, we know it to be
booting, right? Wrong, because even before the booting process begins, and OS
gets loaded, the computer is guided to look for any hardware issues (i.e. If
all the necessary hardware is attached to a PC to work properly. This is “power
on Self Test” (POST).
The hardware or
software- Be vigilant for hitches
Look for:
·
Sufficient RAM
·
Enough C drive free space
If the problem is not the speed (defragment the memory, if
it is) but the hardware itself, look for chord connections and if they are
loose.
The load time of the
OS- Observe for deviation
Though everyone knows that, this is just to reiterate that
if the operating system is taking more than the usual time for loading, some
creepy software might be trying to play a game on it, hidden from everyone’s
eyes.
Function Failure- New
hardware or Software could be the reason
When a system fails to function as usual, installing a new
hardware or software could be the interrupting factor; the reason being their
compatibility with the existing system. Using Device Manager can assist you in
checking just that. Open ‘Control Panel’ and click on the ‘System Security’
icon, followed by the System icon. Go on to select the ‘Hardware’ tab and click
on the ‘Device Manger’. The path might seem a little longer, but it will aptly display
the hardware properties of your PC.
Task Manager- Check
for the programs, eating more RAM than supported
Right click on the taskbar to select “Start Task manger”,
which will take you to the “Processes” tab.With this, you will be watching the list
of currently running programs, and their RAM demand. Unnecessary programs can
them be stopped, improving performance of your system to some extent.
Malware- Last on the
list, but not the least
If any of the above issue is not a problem, them malware can
be, the presence of which is concealed from the user generally. Its only
solution is Anti-malware.
Andis the above list is more than enough for you, computer tech support like
Click4Support is at your service, always.
