These Are The 10 Most Common Computer Problems

illustration of damage to the computer


Actually quite a lot of problems or problems that occur on computers ranging from small problems to big ones. And usually, when the owner's attention is lost, these small problems can turn into big ones.

Of the many common computer problems, the authors of this article conclude that common computer problems are never separated from the following 10 problems.

The 10 problems discussed are guaranteed for those of you who have been using computers for a long time or for those of you who are technicians, you will definitely know the following problems.

Below are 10 common computer problems. listen carefully


1. The computer restarts itself and even turns off

This problem often occurs in our computers due to hardware problems. Mainly overheating or overheating of the processor. Excessive heat on the processor is usually caused by the fan not working optimally or the thermal paste on the processor has dried up.


2. Let the signal sound

This beep sound is usually heard when we turn on the computer for the first time. This sound is usually heard when an error occurs on one of the hardware installed on the computer. Since there are many BIOS products on the market, the beep code will vary depending on the problem. Note, however, that not all beeps indicate a problem as some BIOS will beep once on first boot to indicate that the computer is operating normally. 


3. The CPU turns on but the screen shows nothing

This problem is usually caused by the RAM not being fully recognized. Because the function of RAM is temporary storage (storage of processes contained therein), no device can save running processes when RAM is in trouble, so nothing can be displayed on the screen.

Apart from the RAM memory, it could also be because the VGA cable connected to the monitor is not properly connected. If you use a VGA card, you no longer need to connect a VGA cable to the internal VGA connector on the motherboard.


4. The computer turns off completely

In the case of a complete power failure, it usually depends on the amperage whether the computer is receiving electrical power or not. So if the computer does not get power, you can be sure that the computer will never boot. You can check this by starting with the power cable going to the power supply, power supply or even the front panel cable. If there is no problem with the power, it can be confirmed that there is a problem with the main board. 


5. The computer often crashes

Usually the cause of a HANG computer is the amount of data being processed, not compensated by the ability of the processor and RAM to buffer or temporarily hold the data being processed. Because RAM memory is limited, RAM memory capacity will decrease and run out when many applications are running. In this state, the computer now experiences a HANG because it is unable to complete the command to be executed.


6. Blue screen

Usually the computer displays a blue screen followed by restarting itself. Usually this situation is caused by hardware failure, installed software drivers, it can even be caused by a virus.


7. The browser homepage, default search engine, and default browser will change accordingly

The root cause of this problem is that we install apps knowingly or unknowingly. Most of the time it happens when we go to a website with a lot of pop-ups and accidentally click on it, so we unknowingly install a program that has the ability to change the appearance of the homepage and default search engine.

Apart from the internet, this can also be caused by installing an application, in which case the application will offer to install a toolbar in our browser.


8. Cannot connect to the network

In this state, our computer is completely unable to connect to other computers on the network. Computers that cannot connect to the network are due to the following reasons:

1. There is no network card or network card in the computer.

2. Give the IP address settings that are incorrect or do not match. 

3. NIC or media interface such as wired or wireless is damaged.


9. The computer can turn on but cannot access the operating system

This problem can be caused by two things, namely hardware and software. Since this is related to the operating system, the hardware that is at high risk for this problem is the hard drive. Since the operating system is stored on this hard drive, we can never use the existing operating system if the hard drive is not properly installed.

Apart from hardware, this problem can also be caused by system problems such as missing important files from the operating system, viruses or even the formatted partition where the operating system is installed.


10. Can't get online

There are several main causes of this problem, namely:

1. Lack of internet connection. 2. Our computer is not connected to a computer network

3. Our computer's internet access is blocked

4. Configure missing or incorrect browser settings
