Lesson 6 Types of Computer System Errors

This document defines two types of computer errors: system errors and operating system errors. System errors include issues like no video output, failure to boot up, endless loading screens, and unexpected restarts. Operating system errors stem from problems with hardware, software, memory, drivers, and applications. Common causes are faulty components, corrupted files, and malfunctioning programs. Resolving errors may involve troubleshooting hardware, updating drivers/software, or reinstalling applications.
