As Orange County’s premier computer repair service, we’ve seen lots of computer problems over the years. Many of our customers are surprised to learn that the most common computer issues are actually preventable. It’s important to learn all you can about how these issues affect your computer and the steps required to avoid them. This is especially important for businesses with multiple computers.
Slow Internet
The hardware you have in place can impact the speed of your Internet service. If you’re paying for a certain amount of Internet but receiving much less than expected, you’ll need to determine whether outdated hardware is causing the problem. Check all firewalls, switches, and access points and update as needed.
Slow Computer
There’s no way around it, slow computers affect productivity. Unnecessary data is one of the most common causes of slow system performance. Cleaning out your documents, downloads, and desktop can dramatically improve the speed and performance of your system. For best results, clean out unnecessary data at least once a month.
Lost Data
Viruses and computer crashes can lead to data loss. This can significantly affect productivity. Regular backups are the best way to protect data in the event of a cyber-attack or other computer problem.
Ignoring Updates
In an effort to avoid downtime caused by updates, many people simply ignore them. While updates can take time, it is a small price to pay for the protection they provide. Missing just one update can put your entire network at risk. Updates safeguard your computer against cyber threats and other problems. Updates also fix bugs in programs and software. This is important for the continued operation and safety of your computer.
While the issues listed above are some of the most common causes of computer problems, there are many more things that can affect computer speed, performance, and operation.
