By Gnifrus Urquart


There are numerous computer problems that usually affect the computer, thus lowering its performance. The trick to fixing any computer related problem is to first find out where the problem is. Please read on to learn some tips that may help you find those problems and their recommended solutions.

Viruses are known to attack computers and may end up destroying vital information if not eliminated. You know that the computer has problems caused by viruses when it becomes extremely slow and applications take way too long or never respond at all. When this happens, get a strong anti-virus software program and carry out a full system scan to help find and remove the virus.

Sometimes when you download stuff from the internet and even open email attachments on a computer and you notice the computer is significantly slow, chances are high that it is infected by malware. Trojan horse and worms are the common malware that may be spread in this way and usually attack your files and the hard disk. To fix the problem, just uninstall and then reinstall your operating system.

If you notice that the machine suddenly slows down in its performance and with keen observation you find that programs are being installed without your knowledge, suspect spyware attack. Spyware is also a type of malware which usually gets installed on a computer with the aim of collecting your important information and sending it to a third party. There are very good available anti-spyware programs to help you resolve the problem.

Sometimes your computer may run very slow and after doing a full virus scan, no viruses are detected. In such a case, try to do a disk cleanup and defragment your hard disk to help remove unnecessary files stored on your system and help organize your hard disk. On your browser, find the place where you can clear cache and history of sites that you visit.

Problems where the computer switches off on its own especially after a few minutes of usage are also common. This could occur as a result of overheating or it may be due to some other hardware faults. You can resolve this by switching off your computer and giving it a chance to cool down and if it still behaves the same way, you need to consider checking out your hardware components. Find a qualified person to assist you in working inside your computer if you do not have the technical know how.

As long as you can positively identify the various computer problems, the remaining part is not very difficult. Knowing where the problem is helps you find a solution to it. Do not forget to always conduct a back up for your system.
