As an exercise to the reader, have a look at the questions asked by some of the most prolific question askers on the site (all of who are > 40k users mind you):
- Kyle Brandt (A Stack Exchange employee and systems administrator)
- ewwhite (One of the highest repped users on the site)
- Mark Henderson (me!)
Have a look at how these questions differ from your own. There is a lot of knowledge to be shared on the site, but what you won't find in those questions linked above is "How do I derp" or "My server is herping, and I need it to derp, what CPU should I buy?".
