    hello everyone this is Mustafa from
  • 00:00:02
    skills build training today I'm going to
  • 00:00:04
    highlight 20 most common computer
  • 00:00:07
    problems with Solutions so keep watching
  • 00:00:09
    the video till the end maybe you get the
  • 00:00:11
    solution to a problem you are
  • 00:00:22
    encountering problem number one your
  • 00:00:25
    system gets slow the most common problem
  • 00:00:27
    we experience that our system is slow
  • 00:00:30
    down we keep on refreshing the computer
  • 00:00:32
    either pressing F5 key or clicking
  • 00:00:35
    Refresh on right click menu to be honest
  • 00:00:37
    it won't get you anywhere near the
  • 00:00:39
    solution we need to understand that why
  • 00:00:42
    this is happening over the time we
  • 00:00:44
    install new softwares and new files the
  • 00:00:46
    system becomes full so the solution you
  • 00:00:49
    need is to clean the drive by deleting
  • 00:00:51
    and uninstalling The Unwanted softwares
  • 00:00:54
    in the control panel open the programs
  • 00:00:56
    and uninstall The Unwanted softwares it
  • 00:00:59
    will leave some space to make the room
  • 00:01:01
    for the processor to work efficiently
  • 00:01:04
    the other possibility is that system
  • 00:01:06
    Drive C is full C drive needs to have
  • 00:01:09
    more space to make the software work
  • 00:01:11
    efficiently as it saves temporary files
  • 00:01:14
    which are required for the working over
  • 00:01:16
    the time these temporary files and the
  • 00:01:18
    files in recycle wiin takes up the space
  • 00:01:21
    so we need to clean the drive you can
  • 00:01:24
    open up the properties of C drive and
  • 00:01:26
    click the dis cleanup check all the
  • 00:01:28
    boxes and press okay okay normally there
  • 00:01:31
    are some applications which start
  • 00:01:33
    running on the startup so you can check
  • 00:01:35
    if there is any unwanted application is
  • 00:01:37
    running in the background for that you
  • 00:01:39
    need to open up the task manager and in
  • 00:01:41
    the startup tab you can see different
  • 00:01:43
    applications running leave the system
  • 00:01:46
    applications running and disable all the
  • 00:01:48
    other applications so hopefully this
  • 00:01:50
    will resolve this problem problem number
  • 00:01:52
    two softwares run slow you notice
  • 00:01:56
    sometimes that the softwares you are
  • 00:01:58
    using are becoming slower and slower
  • 00:02:00
    over the time there are two possible
  • 00:02:02
    reasons for this problem either you are
  • 00:02:05
    low on processing power or you are
  • 00:02:07
    having lower memory low processing power
  • 00:02:10
    means that your processor is not
  • 00:02:12
    providing enough resources to the
  • 00:02:14
    softwares to run properly low memory
  • 00:02:16
    means that you are not having enough
  • 00:02:18
    volatile memory that is Ram so in that
  • 00:02:22
    scenario you need to upgrade the system
  • 00:02:24
    with the processor and RAM I have
  • 00:02:26
    mentioned the table in which you can see
  • 00:02:29
    that there are different processors
  • 00:02:31
    arranged according to the usage along
  • 00:02:33
    with the clock speed ryzen are AMD
  • 00:02:37
    processors I series processors are for
  • 00:02:40
    Intel ryzen 3 and I3 are both available
  • 00:02:43
    for normal usage ryzen 5 and I5 are
  • 00:02:47
    available for gaming purposes and other
  • 00:02:49
    lowlevel Graphics applications i7 and
  • 00:02:52
    ryzen 7 are both available for graphical
  • 00:02:55
    processing and editing videos whereas I9
  • 00:02:59
    and r Ryon 9 are available for high-end
  • 00:03:01
    usage and recently i11 processor has
  • 00:03:04
    been launched in the market to give a
  • 00:03:07
    better user experience you can upgrade
  • 00:03:10
    your processor according to this table
  • 00:03:12
    problem number three hanging off system
  • 00:03:15
    sometimes while using the system your
  • 00:03:17
    system gets hang in the middle of
  • 00:03:18
    something this is very annoying and
  • 00:03:20
    frustrating sometimes computer hang
  • 00:03:22
    because of a virus and for that you
  • 00:03:24
    should have an updated and licensed
  • 00:03:26
    antivirus software there can be faulty
  • 00:03:29
    SM PS SM smps stands for switched mode
  • 00:03:32
    power supply that deliver the power as
  • 00:03:35
    per your requirements if the SM smps is
  • 00:03:37
    faulty it should be replaced at once
  • 00:03:40
    otherwise Excess power may cause serious
  • 00:03:42
    damage also there are cooling fans in
  • 00:03:44
    our system which provide ventilation for
  • 00:03:47
    the components on the motherboard to
  • 00:03:48
    work effectively and continuously if
  • 00:03:51
    system gets hang often it can be assign
  • 00:03:54
    that cooling system is not providing
  • 00:03:55
    enough cooling so cooling fans needs to
  • 00:03:58
    be replaced and and you need to turn on
  • 00:04:00
    automatic update and keep your operating
  • 00:04:03
    system updated as the updates include
  • 00:04:06
    the fixes of different bugs in operating
  • 00:04:08
    system problem number four blue screen
  • 00:04:11
    while using your computer suddenly a
  • 00:04:13
    blue screen pop ups and it shut Downs
  • 00:04:16
    your windows this error is caused by
  • 00:04:18
    mainly two problems first one blue
  • 00:04:21
    screen shows memory error or memory dump
  • 00:04:23
    problem second blue screen shows an
  • 00:04:26
    error code and a hardware driver problem
  • 00:04:29
    for the memory problem you need to
  • 00:04:31
    detach RAM and reinsert it then restart
  • 00:04:34
    your computer if still the problem
  • 00:04:36
    persist then change the ram it will
  • 00:04:39
    solve the memory problem for a blue
  • 00:04:41
    screen with an error on it you need to
  • 00:04:43
    copy that code and search it online the
  • 00:04:46
    online forms will surely provide you
  • 00:04:48
    Solutions on the specific error code
  • 00:04:51
    problem number five boot error when you
  • 00:04:54
    boot the system it runs into an error
  • 00:04:56
    and shuts down upon restarting it
  • 00:04:59
    displays a boot error so you can either
  • 00:05:01
    use a recovery mode to repair the
  • 00:05:03
    windows or you can enter safe mode to
  • 00:05:05
    undo the L changes you did on your
  • 00:05:08
    system if still the problem persist and
  • 00:05:10
    system does not boot properly you can
  • 00:05:12
    reset your PC by entering into trouble

    device manager from the control panel if
  • 00:05:34
    there is a yellow sign on network
  • 00:05:36
    adapter it means there is a problem with
  • 00:05:38
    your network adapter if Lan is not
  • 00:05:40
    working fine and Wi-Fi is not working
  • 00:05:43
    you need to update the driver and
  • 00:05:45
    restart your PC you can solve it either
  • 00:05:47
    by updating the driver or fixing the

    technician or replace it if everything
  • 00:05:54
    is working fine at your end then the
  • 00:05:56
    problem is with your network connection
  • 00:05:58
    you need to contact your network service
  • 00:06:01
    provider hopefully it will fix the
  • 00:06:02
    problem problem number seven hard drive
  • 00:06:05
    failure for some reason if your hard
  • 00:06:08
    drive crashes then you would need to
  • 00:06:10
    install a new hard drive and an
  • 00:06:12
    operating system otherwise your PC won't
  • 00:06:14
    work you need to regularly back up your
  • 00:06:16
    files on a cloud storage or an external
  • 00:06:19
    drive so that you don't lose your data
  • 00:06:21
    due to hard drive failure problem number
  • 00:06:24
    eight computer won't turn on if your
  • 00:06:27
    computer won't turn on it can a
  • 00:06:29
    frustrating issue but luckily there are
  • 00:06:32
    several steps you can take to diagnose
  • 00:06:34
    and potentially fix the problem number
  • 00:06:37
    one ensure that your computer is
  • 00:06:39
    properly plugged into a working power
  • 00:06:41
    outlet number two ensure the power cable
  • 00:06:45
    is securely connected to both the
  • 00:06:47
    computer and the power source number
  • 00:06:49
    three you need to make sure that the
  • 00:06:51
    power button on your computer is not
  • 00:06:54
    stuck or damaged press it firmly to make
  • 00:06:56
    sure that it's making proper contact
  • 00:06:59
    number four hard reset your computer if
  • 00:07:02
    your computer is a laptop disconnect it
  • 00:07:05
    from the charger and remove the laptop's
  • 00:07:07
    battery then press and hold the power
  • 00:07:09
    button for about 15 to 20 seconds this
  • 00:07:12
    will discharge any residual power number
  • 00:07:15
    five for desktop computers unplug it
  • 00:07:18
    from the power source wait a minute or
  • 00:07:20
    two then plug it back in and turn the
  • 00:07:22
    power switch back on number six
  • 00:07:25
    disconnect all the external devices
  • 00:07:28
    including USB Dev devices monitors and
  • 00:07:30
    printers and try turning on the computer
  • 00:07:33
    with only the essential components
  • 00:07:35
    connected problem number nine keyboard
  • 00:07:38
    and mouse failure sometimes you feel
  • 00:07:40
    your pointing and input devices like
  • 00:07:43
    mouse and keyboard are not working so
  • 00:07:45
    there are three possible solutions for
  • 00:07:47
    it first one is to check if your system
  • 00:07:50
    is hanged or not if the system is hanged
  • 00:07:53
    then you need to do what I have told you
  • 00:07:54
    earlier to solve the hanging problem
  • 00:07:57
    second is to detach and and reattach the
  • 00:08:00
    mouse and keyboard I hope this will
  • 00:08:02
    resolve the problem if still this
  • 00:08:04
    doesn't work then try to attach any
  • 00:08:07
    other mouse or keyboard to make sure
  • 00:08:09
    that your keyboard and mouse are working
  • 00:08:11
    fine or not problem number 10 frozen
  • 00:08:15
    screen sometimes you encounter the
  • 00:08:17
    frozen screen problem generally this
  • 00:08:20
    problem is automatically fixed by
  • 00:08:21
    Windows 10 and later otherwise you can
  • 00:08:24
    press control all delete temporarily
  • 00:08:27
    resolves the problem however if the
  • 00:08:29
    problem still persist then you need to
  • 00:08:32
    fix any hardware issues or you need to
  • 00:08:34
    get your motherboard checked for such
  • 00:08:36
    issues problem number 11 fan noise if
  • 00:08:41
    you are using your computer you hear fan
  • 00:08:43
    noise very loud and even when you have
  • 00:08:46
    plugged in your laptop the fan is
  • 00:08:48
    working at full Pace it makes so much
  • 00:08:51
    noise that you get annoyed at your
  • 00:08:53
    computer well the solution to that
  • 00:08:55
    problem is pretty much easier you can
  • 00:08:58
    open the power option options from
  • 00:08:59
    control panel and select change plan
  • 00:09:02
    settings and then in change Advanced
  • 00:09:04
    plan settings you need to find processor
  • 00:09:07
    power management in processor power
  • 00:09:09
    management you need to change the values
  • 00:09:11
    from 100 to 97 or 98 whichever works for
  • 00:09:15
    you in both plugged in and in battery
  • 00:09:18
    module if the fan noise is still loud
  • 00:09:21
    then you have to get them clean using
  • 00:09:23
    condensed air so that the dust can be
  • 00:09:25
    cleaned from fan and motherboard problem
  • 00:09:28
    number 12 overheating overheating in a
  • 00:09:32
    laptop happens when the internal
  • 00:09:34
    components of your machine such as
  • 00:09:36
    processor graphic card or hard drive
  • 00:09:38
    gets too hot think of your laptop as a
  • 00:09:41
    small compact machine that does a lot of
  • 00:09:44
    work when it's running it generates heat
  • 00:09:47
    as a natural part of its operation but
  • 00:09:50
    sometimes either because of heavy use
  • 00:09:52
    poor ventilation or dust accumulation
  • 00:09:55
    the temperature inside the laptop can
  • 00:09:57
    rise to a point where it becomes a
  • 00:09:58
    problem problem overheating can cause
  • 00:10:01
    your laptop to slow down freeze or even
  • 00:10:04
    shut down abruptly to prevent damage it
  • 00:10:06
    can also lead to long-term damage to the
  • 00:10:09
    internal components if not addressed so
  • 00:10:12
    that's why try to stay in a cool and
  • 00:10:14
    ventilated environment while using your
  • 00:10:16
    laptop and use cooling pads if necessary
  • 00:10:20
    problem number 13 unable to install a
  • 00:10:23
    software if you buy a software and it's
  • 00:10:26
    not getting installed in your system
  • 00:10:28
    it's a serious problem because you have
  • 00:10:30
    invested the money in buying that
  • 00:10:32
    software there can be multiple reasons
  • 00:10:35
    to this problem which includes
  • 00:10:37
    compatibility issues minimum
  • 00:10:39
    requirements of the system are not met
  • 00:10:41
    less physical memory or there are some
  • 00:10:44
    missing files in the software Suppose
  • 00:10:46
    there is a software which is working
  • 00:10:48
    fine on another computer but not being
  • 00:10:51
    installed on your windows it means that
  • 00:10:53
    you need to update your windows or you
  • 00:10:55
    need to complete the hardware and
  • 00:10:57
    software requirements and provide enough
  • 00:10:59
    storage for the software to get
  • 00:11:01
    installed the other possible solution is
  • 00:11:04
    to run the executable file using the
  • 00:11:06
    option of run as administrator on the
  • 00:11:09
    file right click on it and you will see
  • 00:11:11
    an option run as administrator below the
  • 00:11:14
    open option the third possible solution
  • 00:11:16
    for this specific problem is to download
  • 00:11:19
    the missing files again or download a
  • 00:11:21
    new copy of the software as there is a
  • 00:11:23
    chance that installation file is
  • 00:11:25
