'Discover' means something different.

'Trying to discover the problems' = trying to find out what the problems are.
'Trying to solve the problems' = trying to find a solution to the known problems.

In this question the company know the problems and the cause, they need to find a solution. 'Solve' is therefore correct.

In the vast majority of cases, the order of events are:
A problem arises. The cause of the problem is discovered. A solution to the problem is sought.

They have already discovered the cause of the problem.
