There are many computer problems, of different types, either hardware or software issues that might require a

professional assistance. A good example will be that if your computer has a hardware problem and of course you do not have a computer technicians lab that includes hardware spare parts and the knowledge what to replace and how to fix your problem, it will require you to get your computer to the technician’s lab (like sick people go to a doctor – to get fixed 🙂 ).

So how do we discover what type of assistance we need? (it is partly important to understand or at least try to understand the computer problem we are having, so it will help us in contacting the suitable assistance we need). Computers like any machine gets broken down, get damaged (I don’t mean by a baseball bat) but I am more in the worn out due to extensive use. This doesn’t mean you’re killing your computer as you strain it while you work, it just means that your computer is working for a long while, and some parts got tired (worn out) and need to be replaced.

The same description that I explained about hardware fits the case of computebsod_wallpaper___new_by_neko_mangakar software needing assistance. We work on the computer, on our software, operating system or whatever, and we copy files, delete files, move files, install programs etc… We sometime just catch a virus even with an anti-virus program (if you accepted a popup that jumped up while you where browsing not knowing that this popup was a virus asking for permission to install itself on your computer) and all of those actions might cause the software to become unstable (I will get into how and why it gets unstable on other parts of this website). When the computer software becomes unstable, we experience crashes, blue screens of death (not to worry – it’s an expression that we tech guys call the crashing blue screen Microsoft windows has, no one will die 🙂 ), the computer might reboot itself, not load properly or not load at all. Those occurrences require computer assistance.

So, where do we find the assistance we need ? Well, you can try making some calls to friends you might know who knows computers, or work with computers and they might stumble upon such issues that your experiencing. You can also try searching the internet, or just browse your local paper for technician labs in your area, and get your computer to the professional “doctors” to get your computer fixed. They will be able to determine if your computer has hardware or software problems, and of course give you a price offer for fixing the computer and getting it back in working order.

You can also post your assistance request (if its non hardware related) on the web (the internet), there are many

forums that you can post your questions, and other people who are participating on the forum, might give you the solution you need. You will get the guided step by step operations needed to solve your problem. Most of the software problems that you might encounter are most likely happened to other people who might be noticing your question, remembering they had just the same case, and they will post the answer so you will be able to fix your problem.

Most of the problems computers have are due to their age, (how old they are since you bought them). If there are electricity issues, or just a blast of lightning that happen during the winter while there was a serious storm outside that causes the motherboard (the board that all of the computer parts connects to) to short out, or burn some essential units that enable it to operate, and thus disable your computer from turning on, or giving hardware problems (blue screens).
