Software/ Hardware Issues

BSoD

The BSoD (blue screen of death) is a common error that is caused by a multitude of reasons. The reasons can be one time errors that likely wont pop up again or can be an indicator that something more critical is failing within the computer. If you were doing any work when this happened, you will lose anything that is unsaved. The way to fix this issue is dependent on the situation but usually is able to be self-diagnosed.

Operating system boots slow

This is a common and annoying issue that im sure many of us have come into contact with. The good thing is its usually a very easy fix. The problem is typically caused by too many application trying to open upon startup. So very simply you must go in and change the settings so only necessary programs open immediately.

Applications wont Install

When it comes to this issue, the easiest and most common reason is a lack of space. So in order to fix this you must do some clean up. Deleting unused apps is very helpful but windows has tools to help including the cleandisk tool which deletes any temporary files as well as many other things of your choosing.

Windows update issues

A very annoying issue we run into often is when your windows updates wont install. Usually the fix is quite simple and you will know if it is. The most common cause is that some software on your computer isn’t compatible with the new windows software that you are trying to install. So you either uninstall the software or update it.

Misbehaving Apps

An annoying issue is when your programs start acting incorrectly. They work as not intended and it becomes a nuisance. First you should try restarting the program. If that doesn’t work look for fixes posted by the developer. Worst case reinstall the application.
