Basic troubleshooting includes whether or not you get video on bootup, whether you get fan and power on power on, beeps from POST checking (Power On Self Test), any error codes the system gives, logfiles. Modern computers are complex things and unless you know exactly what to do, it's best to leave it to professionals (and let them take the electrical zap!)

This is a difficultly broad question to answer. There are thousands of things that can go wrong with a computer. To list all of them would be impossible.

The common symptoms are:

  • Slowness
  • Glitchy graphics
  • Links you click redirect you to a completely different site

However there are many, MANY other symptoms depending on the issue, so many, as said, it's impossible to list them.

Run a virus scan. You could also download the free version of MalwareBytes which catches things most virus scans miss.

If you think there is a specific problem with your computer, feel free to ask a question on your suspicions.

Subaru 1996 legacy missing has engine light on?

The check engine light comes on to tell you that something is wrong and the computer knows what it is. Use an automotive code scanner to find out what's wrong. Fortunately you and the computer agree... something is wrong. It's just that the computer knows a lot more about what's likely to be the problem.
