Common Computer Issues and How to Fix Them
It's important to know the essential considerations in an effective IT strategy for
your business to succeed, but it’s also important to remember that stuff breaks.

Technology can be sensitive, and even the
slightest user error could cause massive issues
for an entire system if not handled quickly. And
since everyone uses computers nowadays in
some form, everyone needs to know how to fix
the common, small issues so they know when
it's too much for them to handle alone.

A few examples of such issues can be found
below along with some of the most simple
solutions. Bear in mind that while the answers
you need might be there, your issue could also
be more complex and require a completely
different answer, so do more research if
nothing here helps you.

Overheating
When you notice the noise of your computer’s fans, pay attention to see how long
it lasts. If it continues for a long period of time, then feel around on your laptop or
PC for heat. If you find a spot that’s hot, then your computer is overheating and
you need to start considering ways to cool it down. Failing to keep your computer
cool will result in it working slower and eventually sustaining damage.

An overheating computer can be caused by many things, from a demanding
program working the GPU or CPU harder than normal to a broken fan failing to aid
with airflow. Each cause has different solutions. If your computer gets too hot
every time you try to get work done, then you need to upgrade to stronger
hardware, and broken fans need to be replaced.

If the fans are working, though, and you’re not sure why it’s overheating, start by
considering the environment you're using it in. If the room is hot or allows direct
sunlight to hit the computer then it's time to move or cool the room down. Also look
at the settings of the computer to make sure they’re correctly set and optimized
and check all software for updates.

Older software versions usually don’t have the optimizations and safety standards
that modern ones do and this can cause a myriad of problems. If nothing else
helps, then shut down the computer and let it rest for a while. It’s possible you’ve
just been working it too hard recently without letting it breathe.

Slow Loading
All computers will eventually start running slower as the hardware ages and is no
longer supported by the software it runs. If your computer is old and running slow,
then consider either upgrading to an entirely new system or replacing one of its
key components with a newer version. If a new computer is running slow then you
have some digging to do.

Start by restarting the computer. While it seems too simple to work, what it will do
is, well, reset it. All open programs will be closed, it may perform any necessary
operation system updates, and it will just generally give you a clean state to start
from. If this fails or isn't an option, then try closing certain website tabs.

Some websites demand a lot from a computer for seemingly no reason, causing it
to lag heavily. Also, check your storage with the computer’s settings application.
You’ll be told how much storage you have total, what’s used, and what takes up
the most storage. Your computer will run slowly if it’s low on memory space
because it has nowhere to store the new information it needs to do what you’re
asking it to.

Remove large, unnecessary applications and occasionally move important
documents and photos to a secure hard drive or flash drive to open up more
space. If this still doesn't help, then you can perform a virus scan to look for any
malicious programs that may be eating your storage and CPU for who knows
what.

If a program is found, follow the antivirus’s advice and talk to a professional after
to make sure you’re in the clear.

Audio Problems
Assuming that your volume is up, the tab is unmounted, and the media is not
paused, you should be hearing audio from most videos. However, if it sounds
tinny or crackly, it cuts, or it's simply not playing, then you unfortunately need to
start looking to fix audio problems.

If the audio sounds off, open another browser and pull up a video or song that you
know sounds clear. If there’s no issue here but there is with the other file, then it’s
not a computer problem but a file problem. If the problem persists here, then you
do have a PC problem.

If a restart or shutdown doesn't solve the issue, then try and update your audio
drivers. To do this, open up the device manager and look for the section called
“sound, video, and game controllers.” Expand the menu by clicking on the little
down arrow and see what you’ve got there.

From here, you can do one of two things: either search for your audio device’s
drivers on a browser to find the manufacturer’s driver upgrade tool or right-click on
it, select “update driver,” and search for updates that way. There may be hardware
problems if none of this works.

Uninstalling Stubborn Apps
You’ve installed and uninstalled dozens of applications in your lifetime for various
purposes. However, you’ve likely not had many issues uninstalling them.
Normally, you just go to the app list, right-click on the app you no longer need, left-
click on the “uninstall” option, and violà! It and all of its relevant data are gone.

Sometimes, though, this doesn’t work, and the app stays on the computer against
your will. When this happens, start by looking for the application's uninstall
program. This may be found either in the app list again or in the app’s folder. Once
found, run it and it will finally remove the unwanted program.

If that fails, you may have to open the control panel, task manager, or even boot
the computer into safe mode in order to stop the app from performing tasks and
delete it. Unfortunately, though, there are some programs that you may not be
able to remove because your operating system deems them as too important.

For example, all Windows computers are prevented from deleting the pre-installed
browser, Microsoft Edge, from the system even when there’s an alternative
present. While they may still be removable if handled correctly, it's a much more
hands-on and complicated process than most other applications.

If an unwanted app like this appears and you can’t remove it, raise the issue with
an IT professional and follow whatever advice they provide.
