The Top 5 Most Common Computer Problems
If you have a PC, then you have most likely
suffered from computer problems. Most people
have accepted that there PC will eventually
crash due to a virus or some massive error.
However this is a myth. Your PC is built to
last more than a decade. However you must
keep well tuned for it to make its third
birthday. Nevertheless, most people would
rather buy a shiny new PC rather than spend
an hour trying to fix computer problems on
there 2 year lap top or desktop. After
another two year after their purchase lack
of maintenance will cause their new PC to
lose its performance speed. What’s next you
guess, $3000 Windows Vista Ready PC. This is
known as the consumer vicious cycle.
Why does your computer have problems?
Well, the biggest problem that your computer
has is its owner. More than 80% of computer
problems stem from neglecting to perform
simple maintenance task such as cleaning
your registry, emptying your cache files and
updating software regularly. If these tasks
are performed diligently, you would be
reading this article from a five year old
machine running on Windows 98 operating
system. So, let’s take a look at the top
five computer problems and how to avoid
them.
-
Computer has performance has slowed.
This is the number one complaint
from most users. There are several
reasons why this has occurred. However,
most can be attributed to lack of
maintenance. Fragmented data, corrupted
registry, spyware, and load of
unnecessary programs and services
running can all eat away at your PC
speed and performance. Managing your
programs and cleaning your registry
would easily award you a 30% gain in
performance speed. RecoveryMagic
helps you to do this automatically
whenever it rolls back your system back
to its original state, allowing you to
have performance gain. Manually using
RecoveryMagic to rollback your computer
to the original state at least once or
twice a month solves this problem and
gives much better results that running
most disk cleaning programs. This
regular rollback is made easy because
RecoveryMagic allows you to select the
partitions to protect. You can easily
have an unprotected partition where you
can move your data to while
RecoveryMagic performs the system
restoration.
-
Lockup, freezes, and blue screens of
death.
This is another common
computer problem. However, this
particular issue is a bit more serious;
therefore, it needs a few diagnostic
steps. In most cases this problems are
caused by spyware. To avoid this problem
update your anti-spyware program daily.
Having the most up to date signatures
will help you avoid having a serious
spyware problem. However, if you have
concluded that your PC is spyware free.
You should update your hardware drivers.
The computer cannot communicate with
various hardware components without an
up to date driver. When it cannot find a
driver, the CPU locks up. Also,
increasing your virtual memory can also
help to avoid freezes. Virtual Memory
will allow to you get more use out your
computer's RAM. RecoveryMagic
helps you ensure a spyware free computer
each time it restores your computer back
to a pre-spyware state. It also ensures
that all your drivers are restored back
to the original working state without
any problem, eliminating incidences in
which driver cannot be found.
-
The computer spontaneously reboots or
turns itself off.
This computer
problem can usually be attributed to a
hardware issue. Usually it’s the power
supply is dying or in most cases a dirty
or defective cooling fan. The computer
is trying to cool itself by automatically
switching off. So, if you feel a bit of
extra heat coming out the computer, clean the fan and make sure it
is running
properly. If your fan is functional,
check your power supply. Also, you will
be surprised how many people fail to
make sure the cables are attached
tightly. This can be the cause of this
particular computer problem. Spontaneous
reboots are also sometimes caused by
virus and malware infection. Worms such
a Brontok cause similar results. In some
cases, the reboot is so frequent that
the user is unable to logon to Microsoft
Windows to even start any program.
RecoveryMagic helps to solve all
these by providing restoration even when
Microsoft Windows is unable to boot up.
You can solve this problem from the
RecoveryMagic boot console which is
available after booting up the PC and
before loading the Windows operating
system.
-
Strange noises and vibrations.
This is almost totally a hardware
issue. You computer is made up of
thousands of parts. Its not unheard of
that one of them can become unhinged.
Overheating can cause expansion of wires
and melt some sensitive. High pitch
noises such as squealing or whining
sounds can be cause electronic
components. Whatever the reason, you
conduct a small investigation. Remove
the case and run the computer to
discover the origin of the computer
problem. If it’s not a simple matter
such as a loose wire or fan issue, it
may be time to call a computer tech.
RecoveryMagic fixes all your software
problems so that troubleshooting when
issues are not resolved is fast and easy
because you can really isolate the
causes and know when you really have
hardware problems and not a mistaken
software problem.
-
Your home page, default search
engine, or web browser has changed
itself.
This is also known as
"high-jacking". Spyware has been
installed on your computer via social
networking or from email link. This
action has allowed spyware to install a
java script into your web browser. The
spyware then sends a message to your
browser to change your user settings.
For example change your home page to
another web page. RecoveryMagic
protects all applications that are
installed on the partitions selected by
the user for RecoveryMagic protection,
thus allowing spyware problems and
hijackings to be easily undone with a
few mouse clicks and a reboot.
