Whoever uses a PC, a rendezvous with a nagging error code is quite common
. It is either while installing some hardware or installing the operating system or during installation of a software or even during trying to run a game or any application program. It comes as a combination of numbers and letters or only pure numbers with a small description underneath which is often a very faint clue to the root of the problem. However, an experienced technician can dive deeper and figure out where the problem is.
The general trend is to depend on the easily available "registry correction softwares" and do a system check with an antivirus software but troubleshooting an error might require more analysis of the problem. It is definitely not always the registry or even a virus that is creating the computer problem, it could be a new piece of hardware that you have added or else your antivirus software trying its best to stop installing a genuine software suspecting it to be a virus resulting in a memory corruption, a corrupted system file due to a virus or some incompatible update that was installed automatically without your knowledge.
Do your homework before asking for computer help from a PC expert.
1) When exactly does the problem occur?
2) Does it always occur or does it occur at times?
3) Do you remember downloading anything before the problem occurred?
4) Write down the exact error code along with the description underneath. If there is a path to a specific missing file then write down that as well.
How does a technical support provider benefit from this? If you have already closed the window with the error on it then the technician still gets the idea about the problem without having to recreate the problem once again. Have the CDs related to the OS and the suspected software with you.
You can avoid most of the problems by doing regular maintenance of the computers and all the necessary troubleshooting can be done remotely as well from a far away machine. You can consult a remote tech support service provider for this.
