Well come to our “Home Computer Troubleshooting” website. Troubleshooting knowledge is the most important for all computer users. So at first we should need to know, what is troubleshooting? Troubleshooting is the process of diagnosing the source of a problem or identifying and fixing problems. Computer troubleshooting may involve software or hardware and can sometimes involve both at the same time. The basic process of troubleshooting is to check the most general possible problems first, and then gradually check for more specific problems. This provides a logical approach to problem solving and can apply to multiple types of products. It is also most important to know what steps to take when something goes wrong with our computer. When we have some basic troubleshooting skills under our belt, we can avoid problems and head off some hefty repair bills. No matter what type of computer equipment we have, it is most important to understand how it all works and when it is not working.
1. Software Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting software problems is one of the big parts of computer maintenance. If our computer is freezing, crashing or acting strangely, software is the number one likely culprit. A number of things may cause software programs that once behaved flawlessly for stop working, including corrupt files and other of the addition of conflicting programs. In order to get the most from our system, use built-in diagnostics like as the Windows Event Viewer and Disk Defragmenter for examine to the condition of the computer and these software packages.
2. Hardware Troubleshooting
Not all of computer problems are caused by malfunctioning software programs. Some problem is caused by faulty hardware, including hard drives which are about to fail, defective RAM modules and worn-out CD and DVD drives. In order to troubleshoot these hardware devices, use the Device Manager by right-clicking on "My Computer," choosing "Properties" from the drop-down box, clicking the "Hardware" tab and clicking the "Device Manager" button.
3. Connectivity Troubleshooting
Even if the computer is running smoothly, if it cannot connected to the network or the Internet, it will not be very useful. It is so important for our troubleshooting to extend beyond the software and hardware and into the connectivity to the computer. If we cannot connect to our computer, check the lights on our DSL modem; if the lights are red, or if the lights are green but not flashing, we may need to power the modem off and back on. If we use a wireless router on our home network, we will need to power cycle the router as well.
