Simple Fixes for Most Of Computer Issues

You may have already determined that the computer problem you're facing is too hard to fix yourself, or it’s something you're not interested in spending your time doing.

Having worked as a computer repair technician for years, I'm very familiar with the simple things that most computer users overlook.

You may literally save your money, and an equally valuable amount of frustration, by following some of the easy steps below.

1.  Restart Your Computer

Many times I’ve visited a customer's home or business, listened to a long story about a computer issue, and then simply restarted the computer to fix the problem.I do not have a magic touch. Computers sometimes encounter temporary issues that a restart can solve . The ‘restart’ simply clears computer memory and reruns the processes.

2.  Clear Your Browser's Cache

Clearing the cache is a very easy thing to do. Every internet browser has a straightforward method for browser history clearing, even if it is hidden a few layers deep in a menu (on Internet Explorer it under – Internet Options).

If you are facing any sort of Internet related issue, especially if it's impacting only specific pages, be sure to clear the cache before calling a computer repair service.

3.  Scan for Viruses & Other Malware

Unfortunately, most issues caused by malware don't always clearly point to an infection. It's great if your antivirus program warns you of an issue, but it won't always.

Usually, virus-caused computer issues appear as general computer sluggishness, frozen windows, random error messages and things like that.

Before you take your computer to a repair shop or call a technician, be sure to run a full malware scan using a reliable antivirus software.

4.  Reinstall the Program That's Causing Trouble

A lot of computer issues are software-specific that only happen when starting, using, or stopping a particular program that's installed.

These sorts of problems impact the performance of your whole computer, but the solution is often very simple: reinstall the program.

5.  Delete Your Browser's Cookies

There aren't real cookies in your computer, but there are tiny files called cookies, which are sometimes the cause of many web browsing problems.

Like the cached files mentioned in step 2 above, the browser stores these files to make surfing the web easier.
