The primary problem with using valves (or vacuum tubes) in early computers was their size, heat generation, and reliability. Valves were bulky, consumed a significant amount of power, and had a limited lifespan, often failing due to overheating. This made computers not only large and energy-intensive but also prone to frequent malfunctions, leading to maintenance challenges. Ultimately, the advent of transistors offered a more compact, efficient, and reliable alternative.
