Filed Under (General errors, How To, Technology tips, Windows 7) by Ezu on 05-02-2010
I searched over the forums and finally I found how can I find why my computer goes crazy, unfortunately the options below may be used only for Windows 7.
Perhaps some of you will say that when an error occurs I will search on Google and find out how to fix this. It is better so, but what happens if the error can have many causes? This is where these methods of finding the cause of errors, methods that are easy to apply but we will tell you exactly what we want to know, and some cases of error.
A good method of finding errors caused by drivers is found in Event Viewer. To open Event Viewer, follow the steps to come:

Step 1: Go to Start -> type in the search box ev and then press Enter;
Step 2: Look under Custom at the Administrative logs;
Here you can find the problem with drivers which can occurs when you start your computer.
Another method to find the drivers problem is to open Device Manager and to search over the driver errors.
Step 1: Go to Start, type Device Manager in the search box and then press Enter button;
Step 2: Now look over the driver errors which generally appear with a yellow triangle;
A third way to find out where exactly, or what, makes your computer not work or give error is to do a diagnostic report.

Step 1: Go to Start-> type in the search box perfmon /report and then press Enter key;
Step 2: Take a while until the report is finished, but when the report is finished you can navigate through report to see if you have errors;
Last method which we present in this article is a method that uses a utility from Windows 7 called Find and Fix.
Step 1: Go to Start -> type in the search box Find and then press enter;
Step 2: Appear a screen where you can find utilities;
