Troubleshooting

7 - 6 Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software

7

• Don’t over complicate things. The less you have to deal with then the easier the source of the problem may 

be found; 

Example

 - if your computer has many devices plugged into its ports, and a number of programs 

running, then it will be difficult to determine the cause of a problem. Try disconnecting all of the devices and 
restarting the computer with all the peripheral devices unplugged. A process of elimination (adding and 
removing devices and restarting where necessary) will often find the source of a problem, although this may 
be time consuming.
