Common Operating System Problems  

Operating systems are the backbone of your device, but they’re not immune to issues. Here are the most common problems we resolve:  

1. Boot Errors

   “Operating System Not Found” or “Reboot and Select Proper Boot Device” errors often indicate corrupted boot sectors or hardware failures.  

2. Driver Conflicts

   Outdated or incompatible drivers can cause crashes, screen freezes, or hardware malfunctions.  

3. Software Incompatibility

   New apps or updates may clash with your OS, leading to crashes or performance drops.  

4. Corrupted System Files

   Power outages, malware, or abrupt shutdowns can damage essential OS files.  

5. Slow Performance

   Bloated start-up programs, fragmented disks, or background processes can drag down your system.  

6. Licensing Issues

   Need to reinstall Windows or macOS but lost your product key? We’ll help verify and reactivate your license.
