This document discusses different types of computer errors. It outlines six main types: 1) System errors which are caused by malfunctioning hardware or corrupted operating systems, 2) Runtime errors caused by corrupted system files or software, 3) Stop errors from corrupted hardware like RAM or hard disks, 4) Device manager errors from corrupted drivers or faulty hardware, 5) POST code errors from issues detected during the power-on self-test caused by hardware problems, and 6) Application errors from glitches in program code and resolved by updating the application. Specific error types like syntax errors and logical errors are also defined.

3. Operating System Errors
■ Aside from the common computer errors, computers also can have
different Operating System (OS) errors. OS errors can be classified into
various categories, such as:

4. ■ A syntax error is an error in the source code of a program. Since
computer programs must follow strict syntax to compile correctly, any
aspects of the code that do not conform to the syntax of the
programming language will produce a syntax error.
SYNTAX ERROR

5. 1. System errors
■ These are moderately dangerous types of errors among those that can pop
up on your PC. System errors are caused by malfunctioning hardware
components, corrupted operating system modules, etc.

6. 2. Runtime errors
■ Runtime errors are caused by corrupted or malfunctioning system files or
software executables. Most runtime errors cause the application that
caused it to shut down. However, more serious runtime errors may cause
the system to become unstable or unresponsive, leaving you with no choice
but to reach for the Reset button.

7. ■ A runtime error is a program error that occurs while the
program is running. The term is often used in contrast
to other types of program errors, such assyntax errors
and compile time errors.
■ There are many different types of runtime errors. One
example is a logic error, which produces the
wrongoutput. For example, a miscalculation in the
source code or a spreadsheet program may produce the
wrong result when a user enters a formula into a cell.
RUNTIME ERROR

8. 3. Stop errors
■ Stop errors are caused by corrupted hardware, especially malfunctioning
RAM modules and bad sectors on hard disks. Stop errors can be difficult to
resolve at times.

9. ■ A logic error (or logical error) is a mistake in a
program's source code that results in incorrect or
unexpected behavior. It is a type of runtime error that
may simply produce the wrong output or may cause a
program to crash while running.
■ Many different types of programming mistakes can
cause logic errors. For example, assigning a value to the
wrong variable may cause a series of unexpected
program errors
LOGICAL ERROR

10. 4. Device Manager Errors
■ These are usually caused by corrupted driver files or malfunctioning
hardware components. In case of the former cause, the problem is usually
solved simply by reinstalling or updating the drivers. However, the latter
cause can often be solved only by replacing hardware components.

11. 5. POST code errors
■ POST code errors are caused by malfunctioning hardware components, and
are characterized by short beep sounds from the tiny internal speaker of
your motherboard. POST code errors occur when you press the power
button to turn on your PC..

12. 6. Application errors
■ These can be caused at any point of time. As the name suggests, these are
caused by applications while those are running. These are usually caused by
glitches in the program code itself. These are usually resolved by updating
the program to its latest version.
