If you’ve ever worked with a computer extensively, you’ve
probably experienced every single one of these problems at least once.
Computers by nature become outdated and will have to be worked on to
fix the common problems that occur during their life cycle. This
article will address the three most common computer problems and how
you should go about fixing them. If you’ve had any experience at all
with a computer, you’ve probably at least seen one of these issues.

1. Computer Speed and Performance Slowed.

This is probably the most
common complaint that users have with their computers today. There
are many reasons why computers slow down overtime, but the most common
reason is lack of proper housekeeping. If your computer has slowed
down, try to remove any programs you don’t use anymore. It’s also a
good idea to clear the recycle bin and clear out any temporary
internet files that you may have retained. It’s also extremely
important to make sure that you don’t have spyware or adware on your
computer, so run virus/spyware checks often. If none of the other
fixes seem to increase your computers speed, try to defrag your
computer.

2. Computer Keeps Rebooting.

This problem is usually associated with
overheating or faulty hardware. If your computer is overheating, the
computer will recognize that there is a problem and shut it will shut
itself off when it reaches an unsafe temperature. You must first
identify what’s causing the computer to overheat. Make sure that your
computer has plenty of ventilation room and try cleaning the insides
out before restarting. If the above didn’t work, make sure you’re not
overclocking any parts, and if you’re not try to install new methods
of cooling within your computer. If all else fails consult an expert
about possibly diagnosing the specific part and replacing the problem
altogether.

3. Blue Screen of Death.

There are almost an infinite number of
reasons that you could be seeing the blue screen of death, so it’s
very hard to recommend a course of action. The most standard actions
you should take however, is making sure you don’t have a virus by
running a virus scanner and removing anything suspicious you may find.
If this does not solve your problem, it’s time to call professional
support, as it could be something very minor that only an expert could
handle.
Most of the problems mentioned in this article can be prevented
by maintaining good house keeping with your computer. Remember to
keep your virus and spyware applications up to date and contact tech
support if you feel any problem is out of your grasp.
