🖥️ 5 Common Computer Problems (and the EZ Breezy Fix)

Computers always seem to slow down, crash, or act up at the worst possible moment. At EZ Breezy Tech, we see the same issues pop up again and again around Sarasota — and the good news is, most of them have simple solutions.

1. The Slow Computer

If your laptop takes forever to boot up, the problem is often too many background programs or an old hard drive.💡 Quick Fix: Disable startup apps you don’t need, or consider upgrading to a Solid State Drive (SSD) — it can make your computer feel brand new.

2. The Endless Pop-Ups

Pop-ups aren’t just annoying — they’re often a sign of adware or malware.💡 Quick Fix: Run a full antivirus scan. If that doesn’t help, it might be time for a professional cleanup.

3. Wi-Fi Keeps Dropping

Nothing kills productivity like losing your internet connection.💡 Quick Fix: Restart your router, check for firmware updates, and make sure your router is placed in a central spot (not hidden behind the TV).

4. Strange Noises

If your computer sounds like it’s about to take off, the fan might be clogged with dust.💡 Quick Fix: Use compressed air to blow out dust from vents. If it keeps happening, your fan could be failing and needs replacement.

5. Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)

Scary, but not always fatal! BSODs usually mean hardware or driver issues.💡 Quick Fix: Restart and take note of any error codes. Updating drivers often helps — but if it keeps happening, bring it in before it gets worse.
