An intermittent error is an error that randomly occurs. These errors are commonly difficult to resolve because of the difficulty in reproducing the error. Generally, intermittent errors are often caused by software but can be caused by either software or hardware. When dealing with these problems go through the basic troubleshooting steps including making sure the computer has all of the latest updates.

Note

An intermittent error may also be called an intermittent fault, random error, random failure, sporadic issue, or unpredictable malfunction.
