Hi Maurice

To check for hardware issues, you need to do the following:

(a) Right click on My Computer and click manage. Computer  management console opens for you.

(b) In the management console, click on Device Manager, Device manager lists all the hardware that has been detected on your computer. It also tells you how many have been installed and how many are facing problems. The one with problems have a small yellow question mark on them. 

(c) Right click on such devices to understand the problem.
