whats the most common way for a computer to crash?

Answer 1

Bad software on the system. 75-80 percert of out calls are malware or redflag software (Aoell, limewire, banzai buddy, webshots, bearshare, free screensavers, etc) About 10% hardware issues and 10 configuaration

Answer 2

usually conflicts in the software.
It is seldom a hardware problem - hard drive crash or power supply problem. 99% of problems are related to software issues.
99% of these are solved by a simple reboot of the computer.

Answer 3

Over tasking it. For example my father's computer crashes several times a day as year after year he kept ignoring my advice not to leave 46 outlook messages open as well as several other programs and refuse to ever close anything!

Answer 4

its too old
deleting files that run the OS
Virus in the computer
dropping the computer
installing a program that the OS can't run
Drivers conflicting
Installing parts incorrectly such as the ram or video and sound cards
Hard drive is dead

Answer 5

Virus and neglect of maintenace. Use a good anti-virus--if you cant afford one--AVG is free and good. Clean your C drive about once a week, and defrag the hardrive at least once a month. "Ccleaner" is a free program and is faster than the windows one. Auslogics has a free defrag program that is also fast. Do a search and download them both--they work great for me.

Answer 6

Driving down the road flying out of the window and hitting a brick wall is fairly common...

Answer 7

Driver error.
