Looking For Trouble

Thoughts about trying to use a “method” for identifying problems with a clients computer. This page is a first attempt at “connecting the dots” .

Should this be a flowchart?

If the computer boots and you can get past logon.

Windows Task Manager. Does the system get “quiet/calm”? Is any process consuming more that 5% of CPU, Disk or Network?
GsmartControl. Are all disks healthy?
Boot time. Are there unnecessary boot time activities?
Windows Event Viewer. Are there “Critical” or “Error” events?
Windows Scheduler. Look for “suspicious” items. Similar to boot startup cleanup.
Malwarebytes. Run it. Disable boot time initiation.
CCleaner Run it. Disable boot time initiation.
Superantispyware Run it. Disable boot time initiation.
