2. Check PC Memory
PC memory is the component responsible for storing temporary data needed by the operating system and applications running on your PC. Problematic PC memory can cause your PC to slow, hang, blue screen, or restart itself.
To check your PC’s memory, you can use a tool built into your operating system, such as Windows Memory Diagnostic in Windows, or a third-party tool that can perform more in-depth testing, such as MemTest86, MemTest64, or Windows Memory Tester. These tools can perform tests on your PC’s memory by randomly filling, reading, and writing data, and then checking if there are any errors or damage to your PC’s memory.
You can run these tools by booting your PC from an external storage medium, such as a pendrive, CD, or DVD, or by running these tools from your operating system. You can choose the duration, amount, and type of testing you want to do, and then let these tools work. If these tools find any errors or damage to your PC’s memory, then you can try to reset, replace, or increase your PC’s memory to solve this problem.
3. Checking the PC Hard Disk
A PC hard disk is the component responsible for storing permanent data needed by the operating system and applications running on your PC. A problematic PC hard drive can cause your PC to become slow, hang, blue screen, restart itself, or lose or corrupt data.
To check your PC’s hard drive, you can use a tool built into your operating system, such as Check Disk or Disk Management in Windows, or a third-party tool that can perform a more complete test, such as CrystalDiskInfo, HD Tune, or HDDScan. These tools can display information about the health, performance, and temperature of your PC’s hard disk, as well as perform tests on your PC’s hard disk by reading, writing, and checking data randomly, and then checking if there are any damaged or problematic sectors on your PC’s hard disk.
You can run these tools by booting your PC from an external storage medium, such as a pendrive, CD, or DVD, or by running these tools from your operating system. You can choose the type, size, and location of the test you want to do, and then let these tools work. If these tools find any corrupted or problematic sectors on your PC’s hard disk, then you can try to repair, replace, or add to your PC’s hard disk to solve this problem.
4. Check Your PC’s Graphics Card
The PC graphics card is the component responsible for generating the images displayed on your PC monitor. A problematic PC graphics card can cause your PC to experience issues such as blurry, flickering, color, or not appearing at all, hangs, blue screen, self-restarting, or strange sounds.
To check your PC’s graphics card, you can use a tool built into your operating system, such as Device Manager or Display Settings in Windows, or a third-party tool that can perform more accurate testing, such as GPU-Z, FurMark, or MSI Afterburner. These tools can display information about the specifications, performance, and temperature of your PC’s graphics card, as well as perform tests on your PC’s graphics card by generating complex images or animations, and then check if there are any errors or damage to your PC’s graphics card.
You can run these tools by booting your PC from an external storage medium, such as a pendrive, CD, or DVD, or by running these tools from your operating system. You can choose the duration, resolution, and type of testing you want to perform, and then let these tools work. If these tools find any errors or damage to your PC’s graphics card, then you can try to reset, replace, or add to your PC’s graphics card to solve this problem.
