Top Ten Trouble-Shooting Tips for your Computer System

MTI Tech Solutions, a local computer and IT support firm in Phoenix,Az. announced the release of their top ten trouble-shooting tips for computer system problems. MTI emphasized that an individual should try these ten tips before contacting a computer service provider.

MTI also added that computer system problems are inconvenient and often times unpredictable, especially during the Valley’s hot summer months and monsoon season. MTI’s certified support staff compiled the top ten tips based on the most common issues that people face with their technology systems on a daily basis.

The following are the top ten tips:
1) Make sure everything is plugged into a working power source.
2) Make sure all the peripherals i.e. keyboard, monitor, mouse, etc. are plugged in.
3) Check with your Internet service provider to see if they are experiencing any outages or problems.
4) Shut down your computer properly and reboot. NEVER simply power down unless the computer will not respond to the shutdown.
5) Boot in Safe Mode to see if computer will work properly under this function.
6) If the problem began after you installed new hardware or software, uninstall the new hardware/software and see if this corrects the issue.
(This may require a call to the hardware/software vendor)
7) If your computer has intermittent, yet persistent problems check online for Microsoft updates.
8) Check for Viruses.
9) Check for Spy ware.
10) Call MTI for help.

MTI notes that while these tips are helpful when experiencing a computer system issue, not everyone’s issue can be resolved by simply following their tips and are not guaranteed to yield positive results. They stress that many times computer problems do require experienced and certified technicians to alleviate any of the issues you are facing with your computer system.

MTI was founded in 1995 as a high-end computer support firm whose mission was geared toward meeting the need for experienced and certified computer service professionals that catered to small and mid-size business needs. Since then, MTI has continued to flourish and provide their customers with the most up-to-date and innovative services and products.
