Analyze Computer's Problems

Computer contains various parts which, maybe, we can't count how many parts it has. However, for such a home user, it doesn't matter that we have to know all of that part if we want to repair it ourselves. Instead, we have to understand the function of these basic parts and their interoperation so that we can fix it properly.

First, we have to figure out what hardware is and what software is. This seems to be easy but it has great effect on fixing our computers. Hardware is things that we can touch in our computers such as a monitor, keyboard, speaker or everything which is in our case such as main board, ram memory, hard drive or floppy disk, while software is maybe call "program" that we put in a computer by any means such as by CD-Rom, internet, or floppy disk which make computers work. These two main components compose a worked computer which we can use it instantly.

Secondly, we have to know that if our computers can not work properly, normally a problem comes from one source. Still, we have to discompose all of these possible sources. For example, if we can't login to platform such as Windows, there are many possible causes such as Windows software defection, overheating CPU (Central Processing Unit) or Ram memory or even hard drive defection. After we discompose these possible causes, we can fix it by analyze each one until we find the real root of problem.

Interoperation of each component in a computer is quite crucial to analyze a problem. We should have to know the relationship of each component especially in hardware’s relation. For example, main board is the main component of a computer which many items have to connect with the main board. The speed of a computer relates with CPU, ram and main board. A monitor relates with graphic card which is also connected with the main board. A speaker is the product of sound card which is also on the main board. If we understand all of these relations, and flow of working diagram, we can more easily locate the main cause of problem. Moreover, this knowledge can be applied in optimization. If we know about the relationship of each component, we can modify our computers to work in high efficiency. Maybe I'd talk about this later in my next blog.

Computer's problems may be too broad and complicated to locate the real cause. However, if we have a bacic analytical skill, knowledge of computer hardware and software and some experiences from any sources such as books, internet or other people, we can do it ourself!
