One of the most annoying things that can happen when using your computer is when it crashes or if you get an error message when trying to complete a task. Diagnosing computer problems can be frustrating, especially if you’re not computer savvy, but here are five of the most common problems computer users experience.

Applications won’t install

^{You might not be able to install a program if you don’t have enough free space on your system. Your computer might not meet the minimum system requirements either. Delete files or folders you don’t need any more such as duplicates, data for programs you’ve already removed, or temporary files.}

Absent DLL file

Dynamic-Link Library or DDL files are responsible for certain functions in your operating system. If one gets deleted or corrupt, your PC might not know how to react. You might not be able to perform functions such as saving or opening files. Try restoring your computer from a backup point to restore important system files.

‍Blue screen of death

A BSOD or a stop error turns your entire screen blue and gives an error. It can appear unexpectedly and for numerous reasons including corrupted files, software problems, or driver errors. Write down the error and code, then turn your computer off and back on again to get back to what you were doing. If you experience this frequently and can’t pinpoint the cause, it will be beneficial to seek out someone who performs computer repair.

Slow operation

If your computer starts running slower than usual at the pace of a turtle, it likely indicates that you have a problem with a specific program or your computer’s operating system. Try cleaning up the files on your computer and delete programs or files you’re not actively using.

Erratic behavior in applications

Application problems make it difficult to be productive. If a program starts acting strange, such as showing odd titles, or items have disappeared, you might fix the issue by restarting the program or computer entirely. Consult the user manual or do a quick Internet search through Google to determine if other users are experiencing the same issues.

You might benefit from using system repair software if simple corrections can’t fix the problems you’re dealing with. It can accomplish these everyday repair tasks and more, limiting how much work you have to do before getting back in business.
