| Sometime during
the life of your PC something will go wrong. Unless you want to pay
someone big bucks to fix it, you will like to learn how to troubleshoot
it yourself. That is why we have created this section. |

| Attempting to
troubleshoot your own computer can be a real nightmare. After awhile,
you feel like trading your screwdriver for a sledge hammer. I
know. I've been there. Before trying to troubleshoot, you
must keep a few things in mind: |
|
|
- A
computer isn't that complicated. Its just a collection of parts.
- Do
not panic. Chances are that your problem is really pretty simple.
- What
has changed since it last worked? Sometimes one has done some small
upgrade that seems unrelated to the problem, but in reality caused
the problem to begin with.
|
|
|
| There are also some things that
you should think about: |
|
|
- Beta
software: Remember that this software is beta because it still has
bugs. Some problems may be the result of this.
- Jerry-Rigging.
If you have built some strange setup on your computer to "make
due", this could result in a problem.(i.e., short cables,
missing screws)
- Viruses.
Scan for viruses. Some of them can do some nasty things.
- If
its under warranty, let them do it.
