Here are the basic troubleshooting guidelines for what to do with
\nregular computer problems.<\/p>\n
First check your hard disk to see if it still has space available. Delete
\nsome files if possible.
\nRun a virus scan on your computer and make sure that there are no
\nviruses present.
\nReinstall the application you are using and see if it solves the problem.<\/p>\n
Check the obvious — Monitor\u2019s LED light is on, power is plugged in and
\ncable is connected to both the monitor and PC.
\nWhen you turn on your PC, check to see if there are any strange
\nbeeping noises. If so, there could be a problem with your graphics
\ncard. You will need to replace the graphics card in this case.
\nTo see which is the graphics card (VGA card) inside your PC, look at
\nwhich card the monitor cable is connected to.<\/p>\n
If it\u2019s a wireless keyboard\/mouse, check to see if the batteries need
\nreplacing. If it\u2019s not a wireless keyboard\/mouse, check to see if the
\ncable is plugged in properly.
\nIt may be that the USB port which you plug your keyboard\/mouse
\ncable to is faulty. Try another USB port if you have one. If there are no
\nUSB ports available, buy a USB hub which will allow you increase the
\nnumber of USB ports. Plug your keyboard\/mouse cable here.
\nIf the device doesn\u2019t work, you will need to replace it.<\/p>\n
This normally happens with a mouse that has no infrared. It\u2019s because
\nthe inside of the mouse is dirty due to long usage.
\nRemove the ball from the mouse and clean it. Use a pin and scrape off
\nthe dirt from the rollers inside the mouse.<\/p>\n
These unwanted advertisements are popping up on your screen
\nbecause a website has placed spyware or some other annoying code
\non your PC when you visited or downloaded something from their
\nwebsite.
\nTo remove these popups, download and use a Spyware application
\nsuch as Lavasoft from http:\/\/www.lavasoft.com\/
\nThis will help you find and remove the code so that you won\u2019t see the
\npop ups again.<\/p>\n
If you cannot access the internet from a browser, then it could be due
\nto:
\n1. The website you\u2019re visiting is offline. Try visiting another website
\nto see if this is the case.
\n2. Could be a problem with your internet provider. Ring them
\nimmediately and ask if they have a problem.
\n3. Check to see if the wireless signal on your PC or laptop is weak.
\nYou may need to go to a better location<\/p>\n
If any of your USB devices are not working such as printer, digital
\ncamera, web cam etc\u2026 then unplug the device from your PC.
\nThen restart the PC. Plug in the USB device again to see if the
\ncomputer can automatically detect it. If so, it will ask you to download
\nthe driver. If you have the driver on disk, then use it. If not choose the
\noption where Windows will automatically search for the recommended
\ndriver.
\nIf this doesn\u2019t work then plug the USB device into another USB port to
\nsee if the USB port is faulty. If all these fail, then the problem could be
\nwith your USB device. Try the device on another computer to confirm.<\/p>\n
Check to see if the speakers are switched on and plugged in properly.
\nThen go to Control Panel\u2026Sounds and Audio Devices. Check to see if
\nthe volume is not muted.
\nNext go to websites such as YouTube, to see if you can hear any
\nsound. It may be that a particular application you\u2019re working with has
\na problem with sound.
\nIf all the above fails then you need to replace your sound card.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
