Are there any Error messages?

If you're getting any error messages, write down the error and do a search for that error message. Millions of Internet sites have documents relating to error messages and usually can provide simple steps to resolve the errors.

Reboot the Device

If the device is (acting strange, frozen, error messages, ect...) Try powering it off, unplugging any connections to it and leave it unplugged for 30 seconds and then plug everything back it and power it back on

Check to see if any updates are available for the device.

Since updates are common and mostly overlooked they can definitely be a source of a problem. Manufacturers usually create updates to Software and Firmware on devices following common errors that are happening. That being said most issues can be resolved by doing this simple task.

Scan for malware and viruses

Use AVG and Malware Bytes on the computer to check and remove any Viruses and/or Malware found. Malware and Viruses are extremely common nowadays and can cause all sorts of different problems.  

Contacting the manufacturer

Usually issues can be resolved by these steps; however some issues might not be common knowledge and be specific to certain devices or services. Every manufacture has some sort of tech support and usually is able to resolve issues, as they would have specific device knowledge and/or workarounds.

Was the computer just running fine with no problems?

If the computer has worked recently, and all other steps have been tried try running a system restore to restore the computer back to an earlier date. The system restore will not erase any data but will get settings back to how they were on an earlier date.
