Computer Troubleshooting
1) Reboot (turn the machine off and then on again) – Believe it or not but this resolves most computer problems. 2) Run a Virus check, but first run a virus update. You can usually get your antivirus software updated online. 3) Try to decide on the area of the problem. Determine if it’s a network problem, a hardware problem, or a software problem. You can determine if it’s a network problem very easily by checking to see if the computer is on the network. Network problems are the usual culprits for Internet problems. 4) If your computer doesn’t start up, then you should look behind it and make sure that all the cables are plugged firmly into the computer. Make sure that the computer is plugged into the outlet (sometimes the cleaning crew mess this stuff up) 5) Check to see if you get any lights on the computer. If the computer lights turn on, but the computer won’t start and you have no sound, then you probably need to replace the power supply. You should call a repair technician to have it replaced. 6) If your computer freezes in the operating system. Try rebooting your system and as it reboots press F8 to see if it will go into safe mode, from there uninstall the application you installed that caused the problem, or reboot.
