1. Frequent Freezing, Crashing, or Restarts
A computer that freezes unexpectedly, restarts on its own, or crashes during use isn’t just annoying — it’s a red flag.
What it might mean:
Corrupted operating system
Failing RAM
Malware infections
Overheating or faulty internal components
2. Sluggish Performance — Even With Simple Tasks
Is your computer dragging even with just one or two programs open? That’s more than just “age.”
Common causes:
Too many background programs
Low RAM or storage
Virus/malware presence
Outdated hard drive
3. Unusual Noises or Clicking Sounds
Hearing grinding or clicking noises coming from your laptop or desktop? That’s usually a sign of internal damage.
Possible reasons:
Failing hard drive
Broken cooling fans
Dust or debris buildup inside
4. Overheating & Random Shutdowns
Heat is a computer’s worst enemy. If your system gets unusually hot or shuts off during use, it’s crying out for help.
Likely issues:
Dust-clogged vents
Dried-out thermal paste
Faulty cooling system
Battery failure (laptops)
5. Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)
This dreaded blue error screen means Windows has encountered a serious issue. Don’t ignore it repeated BSODs mean something is wrong at a system level.
Causes can include:
Bad drivers
