There are a number of things concerning your garage door that you can trouble shoot and fix youself. If you own a garage door opener then you also have some form of interrupter device that will stop your door from closing if an object is in the way. Frequently they are stop/reverse lights.

Does your garage go down, then back up for no evident reason? If you have carefully checked for an object in the way of the door and can't see anything, you may have bumped your stop/reverse lights out of alignment.
The major source for this beam to be interrupted is that there is something blocking it. Seek and eliminate the thing that is shutting out the beam and also you're probably good to go.
If you've looked high and low for the item blocking your garage door to the point that you have become frustrated, it may be that nothing is blocking it. Sometimes a fleck of dirt, a bug or condensation has gotten on the lenses of your stop/reverse lights. Wipe the lenses with a dry cloth and see if that works.
If cleaning the lenses does not make your problem go away, the fault may lie with your garage door opener. You might have a bad sprocket or bad logic board.
While a homeowner armed with an adventurous spirit and a certain amount of mechincal ability can replace a logic board and a gear sprocket, perhaps the easiest course of action is to merely get in contact with a garage door specialist and have the difficulty taken care of.
