How do you solve your tech problems?

When I have a tech problem I usually Google it, and 9 out of 10 times I'll find the answer in a discussion Forum. I must say Tom's Hardware has come up frequently with some good solutions.

Any other resources that you use when you have a tech problem?

My brother in law is a geek genius. Both hardware and software. Totally disgusted with me of course for using FrontPage Editor, but I'm well served on everything I need by just asking him. I also Google some of it myself.

Good one, mine is turning all of the switches on and off. Starting with my computer by logging out, turning the switch off right through to the mains. :p

I'm always with friends who know, and I know a few things too. Google also helps of course. There are a few sites like Tom's Hardware that are good sources for troubleshooting problems.

I solve my tech problems, 95% of the time, myself. I (sometimgs) use trial and error, but if it's something that I am new to, I google it, just like you. I self-taught myself everything I know now about computers, starting back in 2007, with windows xp. I was young, so it was easy to learn.

I always have difficulty trying to diagnose hardware issues - and how to know if someone thing is a hardware issue (when there's no obvious sign like sparks or noise).
