Finding for Hardware and Software Problems

Question

Hi! I want to find and check whether are there any issues in my windows 10 PC's hardware and software. What is the best and the most appropriate way to do this and give out the 100% correct problems in my hardware and software...

Answer 1

You can start by checking for performance issues and glitches in your Windows system.

Also check the Event Viewer app for any messages.

If you ask me, I will say that there is no 100% fix to every issues, once you fix an issue, another one starts, and it's a never-ending cycle either caused by manufacturing defect or bugged up updates and OS.

Answer 2

Ok thankyou!

Software Check:

1-Perform a clean boot and disable non-Microsoft services:

After that check to see if the issue still persists or not. If the issue is fixed, do the same procedure and re-enable the services one by one until you find the service that causes the crash.

2-Start your computer in Safe mode and check to see if the issue still persists or not:
