8 Common Computer Problems

1. Insufficient Memory (RAM)
   Processor-intestive programs demand a lot of RAM. RAM aids the central processing unit by storing instructions< linked to common operations. Without enough RAM, software crashes and slowdowns can occur

2. Adware
   Mysterious pop-up messages and random banner ads that hamper computer performances are symptoms of adware. Its purpose is to fill computer screens with advertising.

3. Slowdown
   Video out of sync with audio, longer than normal load times and stuttering noise movements all indicate either a fragmented hard drive or an overtaxed CPU.

4. Weird Noises
   Whirling fans are sometimes accompanied by other clicks and flutters that could signal either a pending mechanical failure or that a part is loose. The problem is usually minor and can be fixed shifting a wire's path or by tightening screws.

5. Over Heating
   Computer components generate heat during operation. If the case lacks a sufficient cooling and ventilation setup, the computer parts could burn themselves out.

6. Bad Hard Drive Sectors
   Over the course of a hard drive's life, parts of the hard drive begin to fall. Mechanical problems are possible but the hidden threats are bad sectors. Data stored in bad sectors can become corrupted and can cause problems with data and settings throughout the computer.

7. Spyware
   Spyware can monitor computer processes and log key strokes. BAnking records, passwords, and other forms of private information are recorded and then exported, and this could result in identity theft.

8. Viruses
   Viruses are computer programs designed to deliberate a computer and then use it as a carrier to spread the virus to other computers. An infected computer is a danger to itself and every computer on its network. No computer is truly immune to viruses.
