Super Basic Troubleshooting

Be sure to try the following first.

1️⃣ Turn It Off and On Again – Many issues are fixed by simply shutting down the computer and turning it back on.

2️⃣ Check the Cables & Power – Make sure everything is plugged in properly (power cable, keyboard, mouse, monitor).

3️⃣ Restart the Computer – If it’s frozen or acting weird, restart it.

4️⃣ Make Sure the Internet is Working – Try opening a website. If nothing loads, restart your Wi-Fi router.

5️⃣ Close Unused Programs – Too many open programs can slow things down. Close what you don’t need.

6️⃣ Try a Different Device – If something isn’t working (USB, Wi-Fi, sound), test it on another computer to see if the problem is with your device.

7️⃣ Ask for Help – If you’re stuck, call a tech expert (like Boulder County IT Guy! 😉).
