Most Common Computer Issues
All computer components and systems will eventually suffer from some type of malfunction or problem, even if they are still perfectly fine. That is why computer maintenance is really important. This will not only protect your computer but also help it last longer. Here are some computer problems that you will encounter.
Drive Not Detected
If you plug in your external hard drive and a drive not be detected, then you most likely have a faulty cable. A faulty cable can simply be solved by buying a new one. As mentioned above, always try to avoid using a splitter cable to make your external hard drive work as fast as possible. Having more than one hard drive is a good idea, just don’t try to plug everything in at once.
Screen is Flickering
If the screen is flickering or the monitor is running slowly, then the first thing you should do is try to update the drivers for your video card and monitor. This is something that you should be able to do without having to worry about voiding your warranty. Oftentimes, video card and monitor manufacturers will quickly update their drivers to fix known issues, so it is always best to keep them updated.
Multiple Blue Screens of Death
If you are getting multiple blue screens of death, then it is most likely caused by faulty RAM. Blue screens are a very common computer problem, especially with newer computers. Blue screens can be due to overheating and failing RAM chips. It can also be an indication that one of your memory modules has been damaged and needs replacing. If you are getting a lot of blue screens and you are still using your computer, then you should definitely have it repaired by a professional.
