1.Check that the cables and components are properly connected. This is especially important
if you recently upgraded your computer. Open your computer and make sure that all the
cables, RAM chips, the video card, sound card, network card, and other components are all
securely attached to the motherboard.
2. Check the POST. POST stands for "Power On Self Test". This is part of a computer's
startup program that is used to diagnose the keyboard, random access memory (RAM), disk
drives and other hardware to make sure they are working properly. If the POST detects any
errors in the hardware, it will either display a text error message on the screen or a series of
short and long beeps.
*If an error message appears as you boot your computer, type the exact error message into a
Google search to find more information about the error. Use your mobile phone or another
computer, if needed. If you hear a series of beeps as your computer starts up, make a note of
the pattern and visit https://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm to see what error the pattern
indicates.
3. Check the load time of the operating system. The time it takes for an operating system to
load when a computer boots up greatly depends on the hardware of the computer is running.
If you notice your operating system takes significantly longer to load than it used to, this may
indicate a problem with your hard drive that is preventing your computer from retrieving
information from your hard drive.
4. Check for any graphics problems. If your computer is able to boot properly, but you notice
graphics problems, this may indicate driver failures or hardware failures with graphics cards.
If you suspect there might be a problem with your graphics card, you should first update your
graphics card drivers. If the problem still persists, you can download software to test your
graphics card.
5. Check for hardware problems. Many computer problems are caused by hardware failures
or problems with hardware drivers. Windows will usually notify you about devices that have
a problem. You can also use Device Manager to check the status of different hardware
devices. Double-click a category in the Device Manager to display all devices in that
category. Then double-click a specific device. Any errors with the device will be displayed in
the "Device Status" box under the "General" tab. Check all devices. Use the following steps
to open the Device Manager:
Click the Windows Start menu in the lower-left corner.
Type Control Panel.
Double-click the Control Panel in the Windows Start menu.
Click Hardware and Sound.
Click Device Manager below "Devices and Printers".
6. Check any newly installed software. Some software may require more resources than the
system can provide. Chances are that if a problem begins after software starts, the software is
causing it. If the problem appears directly upon startup, it may be caused by software that
starts automatically on boot. Uninstall any recently installed programs and see if the problem
continues. You may also want to limit the number of startup programs.
7. Check the RAM and CPU consumption. If your computer is choppy or running slow, it is
good practice to see if a program is consuming more resources than the computer can
provide. An easy way to check this is to use the Task Manager, right-click on the taskbar at
the bottom of the screen and click Task Manager. Click the Processes tab. Click CPU to
display a graph of the current CPU usage. Click Memory to see a graph of the RAM
consumption.
If your computer CPU graph is running at 80%-100% most of the time, you may be able to
upgrade your computer processor.
If your computer is using too much memory, close all unneeded programs and browser tabs
and see if your computer's performance improves. Limit the amount of multi-tasking you do
on your computer. If your computer doesn't have enough memory to do basic operations,
some computers allow you to purchase and install more RAM.
8. Listen to the computer. If the hard drive is scratching or making loud noises, shut off the
computer and have a professional diagnose the hard drive. Also, listen to the CPU fan. If the
fan is blowing hard, this could mean that your CPU is getting too hot because it is working
too hard.
If you suspect you have a damaged hard drive, be sure to backup all important data from the
drive immediately and shutdown your computer. Each time you boot up a computer with a
damaged hard drive, it will damage the hard drive further. If you are unable to backup your
data, remove your hard drive and take it to a professional for data recovery.
9. Run a virus and malware scan. Performance problems can be caused by malware on the
computer. Running a virus scan can unearth any problems. Use a trusted antivirus program
that is frequently updated, such as Norton, McAfee, or Malwarebytes.
10. Check for the problem in safe mode. As a last-ditch effort, check the problem in safe
mode. If the problem persists in safe mode, it is a fair bet that the operating system itself is to
blame. You may need to Reinstall Windows.
