Hi everyone, sometimes the answer to your problem on your PC is right in front of your eyes but you are not seeing it. Many people can feel a bit daunted when they are presented with a screen full of writing or a box that pops up, and they press what every button they can to get out of there or get to the next screen.
Try and take the time and slowly read what you are presented with, and I mean really read it! don't just skim through looking for any words that make sense to you. Often you will be able to get some understanding of what it is trying to tell you.
An example of this exact issue presented it self to me last week. I got a call from a friend asking my advice on a particular computer to buy for her daughter, as she only wanted to get her a cheap one. I know the current laptop this girl has and it is a good quality one, so I asked why they wanted to replace it and was told that it is performing very slowly. I suggested that before they go and spend any unnecessary money, to give it to me and I would see what I could do with it. When they dropped it off to me the daughter also told me that when she starts it up, she is greeted with a black screen full of white writing and she has to press a key before she can move on and use the laptop.
Later that day when I fired up the laptop I was in fact presented with this screen, but when I took the time to read what it said, instead of just looking for which button to hit to move on, the writing actually told me that the power supply connected to the laptop is less than 90watts and this may cause the computer to run or perform very slowly and also may not fully charge the battery. I then recalled that a month earlier they had replaced the power supply due to a faulty lead.
A quick search online found the correct power supply for $40, I still gave the PC a quick clean up, but I am sure when the power supply arrives, the PC will perform just fine.
So take the time to read the writing in front of you, it might actually be telling you the answer to your problems and save you your hard earned dollars.
