Why Computer Errors Happen

By Andrew Po

Errors are a common occurrence in most Windows-based home computers. They are more or less inevitable since no one can test all software and hardware combinations to see if they're stable. Here are some common causes of PC errors:

Registry problems - registry can become corrupted due to malicious software, badly programmed software or even a faulty hard disk.

System file problems - system files can become damaged due to a virus or a system crash during an update process, for example.

Hard disk problems - most HDDs can deal with a few bad sectors on their own by re-allocating them, but only up to a certain degree.

Other common causes of PC errors are incompatible software (such as older application running on a new Windows version, like Win 7), programs incompatible with certain hardware or drivers and so on. For example, just few weeks ago when I updated to new nVidia graphics card drivers, one of my favorite games started crashing and I had to revert to an older version.

You can never prevent all PC errors, but running an antivirus, firewall and taking care about what you install should reduce the number of problems you'll experience.
