This is the way some people approach troubleshooting their computer systems. Perhaps they re-installed software or even reformatted their hard disk to solve a particular problem in the past. Some people will continue to apply that same procedure to every problem they experience. The result can be lost data, damaged computers and even thousands of dollars. Any good troubleshooter will develop a suite of tools and procedures over time so that they can apply whichever one is appropriate.
New situations require new approaches.
We all learn as we go. It is just important that in our learning we do as little damage as possible. Share and share alike Seek out and share troubleshooting information with those around you. Every company should have a shared database of information so that all troubleshooters can benefit from each other. Develop a method of recording solutions to all your troubleshooting, especially the esoteric problems.
