When you go to the GeekSquad at Best Buy they charge atleast 69 or up to 200 dollars in some places for a diagnostic and all they do is run some software that finds out where the problem is. I don't have that kind of money and I need a way to find out what is wrong with my computer whether it be a software or a hardware issue.
So I need to know what is the name of this software or anything similar to this that can check both hardware and software issues.

The Geek Squad mainly uses Winternals which was recently purchased by Microsoft. http://www.winternals.com/
If you do use this product please make sure that you are using a licensed product. GeekSquad/BestBuy just settled a federal lawsuit based on copyright infringement

You can download Ccleaner here: http://bit.ly/UrAox9
To make this concise, beneath is my suggested setup:
Under web pilgrim check provisional web documents, treats, and last download area. Most clients don't generally require this stuff. keep history and bookmarks unchecked, history is a possibly, however you would prefer not to lose bookmarked locales. Run Ccleaner and it will begin erasing documents. A while later it will give you an arrangement of the documents erased, you truly don't have to experience it as it will be a few pages long. The registry cleaner is proposed for marginally more praiseworthy clients. Use it in the wake of uninstalling projects as they will regularly abandon erroneous registry sections. In the event that you choose to run Registry cleaner then audit the things identified and constantly move down the registry (I keep an envelope aside for this) The Tools tab gives you a chance to uninstall projects and set startup programs. Why do you require this if Windows has these peculiarities? Particularly with Vista Home Ed. The windows safeguard programming wayfarer( startup programs) doesn't get a few sections (however programming adventurer is less demanding to utilize). Utilizing Ccleaner to uninstall projects and after that check for remaining registry passages takes less time. Under Options you can decide how Ccleaner cleans your records. I allow this to sit unbothered.

Check the website of the manufacturer of your PC. Many of them have a free diagonstic program you can download specific to your make and model. Beyond that, the software used (if any) is going to depend on the kind of problem your PC is having. There is no one software for finding and fixing everything.
