Hi. I noticed that you're contributing in the review queues. Just wanted to give you some quick feedback. First, thanks for taking the time for this. A lot of users don't bother, so it's always good when someone does.
The Stack Exchange doesn't do a great job of preparing people for what to do in the queues. There is a canonical thread with general guidance, but unless you stumble across it, people aren't aware that it's there. Here's the link: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/155538/…. There are other threads with additional discussions about handling specific things that can be found with a search (some at the SE Meta site and some on SU Meta).
A lot of the detail you'll pick up with practice. It's also educational to review the reviews. You can look at the review history, bring up specific posts that were reviewed, and see how other people handled the review.
Different numbers of people review each post in different queues. In First Posts, I think it's just a single review. Close and Reopen queues are 5, but it can be more or less depending on how the votes accumulate. You'll soon have the rep for those queues. I think the others are about three reviews unless the reviewers disagree.
With First Posts, since there's only one review, it's important the the review be done well or it's gone and nobody else gets the chance to review it again. Some of those posts can use work, so if you see one that would benefit from cleanup, and don't have the time to improve it or leave suggestions for the OP, it's better to click Skip.
For example, superuser.com/questions/1354761/is-my-motherboard-bricked could use a lot of cleanup. It's a wall of rambling text that could really benefit from organization, focus, formatting, etc. It was one you clicked No Action Needed.
This answer post: superuser.com/review/low-quality-posts/786560 is really just a comment (request for clarification or perhaps a diagnostic suggestion). You left a comment with some guidance (always good to do, but it was a little hard to follow). The important guidance for the OP, though, is about answer posts answering the question. It also should have been flagged as "not an answer" to get it into a queue where it can be dealt with as a problem post.
Your post edits are generally pretty good, but sometimes not being a native English speaker shows through. :-) For example, one edit turned "Please suggest me the best possible solution for this problem." to "Can any one suggest me the possible solution for the problem." (still bad English). Something like "How can I fix this?" would be fine, although even that isn't needed if the question clearly lays out the problem.
Be careful on edits to not make excessive changes. If something wasn't clearly written, make it understandable. Fix English mistakes. But try to keep the wording as close to the OP's as possible. The OP has a sense of ownership and you don't want to make it unrecognizable. Even minor English mistakes can be OK to leave if the post is completely understandable.

@RajeshS, within each queue, above the action buttons is a set of tabs. The rightmost tab is Review, which shows the actual posts to review. History is the tab to the left of that one. It lists a summary of recent reviews in the queue. If you click on the reviewer name, it links to the reviewer's user profile. Clicking on the post name takes you to the actual post.
Clicking on the action-taken links you to the review page and shows a summary of what all of the reviewers did (but only if you have already reviewed the post or all reviews are completed; they don't want people basing their action on what other people did, voting is supposed to be independent).
If you haven't reviewed the post yet and reviews aren't complete, it shows you the review task so you can review the post.
