WHEN PC DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY !!!!!!!!

Many common computer issues can be resolved without professional help – and with excellent results and little or no hair-pulling involved. Here are a few of the problems you might encounter, and how to fix them.
The problem: my computer is running slowly Over time,
you might notice that your computer’s performance is lagging – programs take longer to load, and booting up seems to take forever.
The Solution : There are lots of reasons your computer might have slowed down.
· First, run a SPYWARE and anti-virus software program (if you haven’t got one installed, you should, and you can download one free from the Internet) to see if your system is infected. If it is, follow the removal instructions provided by the software.
· If that doesn’t work, try removing unnecessary programs that might be taking up storage space on your computer – things like games you haven’t played in months or that accounting software you only installed for the tax season and haven’t used again. Finally, if you use Windows®, try running the Windows defragmentation utility, which can help boost your PC’s performance. However do not use defrag utility too often since it stresses the hard disk mechanism.
· Next , start windows explorer. Click the search button. In the type of file box, type *.tmp and for location keep all hard disk partitions. This will list out all the temporary files in right window of the explorer. Simply select all of them ( shortcut is CTRL+A ) and delete them. For deleting if you use only delete key, the files will go to recycle bin, which you will have to empty. Otherwise using delete key while holding the shift key will remove the files directly without sending them to recycle bin.
Use same procedure above to remove backup files.
For Advanced users : click start--Run -- %temp% and enter. This will search all temp files and you can safely delete them.
As you go on making the space free , the computer will perform faster.

The problem: my PC started normally, but there’s nothing on the screen
If this happens, you should first check that all the cables and wires are attached to your monitor and that they’re all securely plugged in.
Another idea: make sure the screen brightness isn’t turned down – this can easily happen to monitors with exposed dials.
You should also listen out for the sounds your PC makes when it boots up: if it beeps once, that’s a normal startup. However, one long beep followed by shorter beeps can mean your graphics/video card has a problem and might need to be “reseated”. Since dust is also a big culprit in any electronic circuit problems. , take care to clean the contacts before reseating the card.
Sometimes you will find that your monitor is suddenly displaying wrong or distorted colours in one side or corner. This happens when you place the monitor too close to the power supply cable. Shiftthe monitor away from the power cable and restart it if required. Problem: my computer crashes and displays a blue screen This is the famous Windows stop error, or Blue Screen of Death, as it’s lovingly known in the IT community.
If this happens to you, it’s likely that you’ve recently added a new program, device, driver or application that your machine just doesn’t like.
Sometimes, a simple reboot of the PC resolves the issue. But sometimes it doesn’t – you reboot, Windows loads, and the computer crashes again. System Restore is a tool in Windows XP and Vista® that takes snapshots of your computer's configuration over time, so if your system crashes due to an installation or bad configuration, the tool can roll Windows back to the state it was in before it stopped working without affecting any of your data.

Therefore before panicking and calling for help, try the above ideas!!
