Keeping your laptop <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/10-ways-to-keep-your-pc-cool.html">cool </a>is essential to lengthening the machine's life. <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/10-ways-to-keep-your-pc-cool.html">Laptops</a> may overheat for several reasons, the most prevalent being because it is dirty or the fan has malfunctioned. <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/10-ways-to-keep-your-pc-cool.html">Overheating </a>frequently can cause internal damage to your laptop's motherboard and prevent the computer from functioning properly or at all. Implement these techniques to keep your laptop <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/10-ways-to-keep-your-pc-cool.html">cool</a>.<br />

<b><u>Steps to Follow</u></b><br />
<ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Place your laptop on a towel on a solid surface when it is on.</li>
<li>Alternatively, clean out any dust inside. Start by carefully removing the screws from the bottom of the laptop and setting them aside. Do not lose or drop them.</li>
<li>Remove the face cover from the unit's CPU . Set aside.</li>
<li>Using your pressurized computer air duster (or hair dryer), clean and blow out all of the dust inside the laptop. Make sure you get in between the blades of the fan and other hard-to-reach places. Screw the bottom of the laptop back on.</li>
<li>A third option is turning your computer on and setting a desktop <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/10-ways-to-keep-your-pc-cool.html">fan </a>next to the side of the computer with the vents and the internal computer fan. This helps keep the entire system cool.</li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The demands of computer software only rise with time, and if you have an older machine, you may no longer be as happy with its performance as you once were. It is time for an upgrade. However, the process of upgrading a computer can be daunting for those who do not do so regularly.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 17px;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Locate Bottleneck<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Analyze the performance of your computer to determine the component that creates a performance bottleneck. For example, the video card is the primary component that influences the performance of games, while the processor influences tasks such as video rendering and file compression.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Research Upgrade Process<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Learn the process for installing the type of component that you are considering purchasing. Generally, the process of upgrading a desktop computer is similar from one computer model to another. However, notebook computers can differ greatly. Locate the service manual or disassembly instructions for your computer and determine whether the upgrade process is within your skill level.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Select Component<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Perform research to select the brand and model of the component that you want to buy. Many processors, video cards, hard drives and other components are available to choose from. Narrow the search by first determining which components are compatible with your computer. For example, if your computer uses DDR-2 SDRAM memory, you can only upgrade the computer with DDR-2 SDRAM with the same rated speed or faster.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Purchase Component<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Buy the component after locating a merchant that sells it at a reasonable price. If you can find the component at a local shop, you can purchase it and upgrade your computer without delay. However, if you search for merchants online, you may be able to purchase the same component at a lower price.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Print Upgrade Instructions<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Print the service manual or disassembly guide for your computer before beginning the upgrade, unless you have a second computer that you can view the instructions on. If you have only one computer, you may otherwise experience frustration if you encounter a problem during the upgrade and cannot view the instructions.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Perform Upgrade<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Install the new component in your computer. Open your computer only with the power turned off. If you have a notebook computer, remove the battery as well. Follow the disassembly instructions carefully, and avoid touching any component that you are not familiar with.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307466572059018259.post-64936330793559295452011-06-15T23:30:00.005+05:302011-06-15T23:30:01.796+05:30Differences Between Regedit and Regedit 32<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">A barebone computer is a partially assembled platform or an unassembled kit of computer parts allowing more customization and lower costs than a retail computer system. They are available for desktop computer, notebook and server purposes, and in nearly any form factor. Manufacturers are also able to produce systems of a specialized or non-standard form factor, since the system is sold as a pre-built unit, with the motherboard and power supply already installed.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 17px;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Standard Barebone Components<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Barebone kits usually consist of the components necessary to build a basic computer. These include: motherboard, graphics card (if one is not integrated on the motherboard), system processor, heat sink and cooling fan, memory, case, power supply, hard drive, optical drive, cables and mounting hardware. When assembled, these pieces constitute a basic computer. Unfortunately, they do not constitute a functional computer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Other Essentials<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Basic input and output methods are necessary to interact with a computer -- in this case, a keyboard and mouse for input and a monitor for output. In order to get the computer to do anything, you will also need an operating system. While several Linux distributions are available at no cost, any version of the Windows operating system requires an additional investment.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Some Assembly Required<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Remember, this is a kit. A few simple tools and labor are required. In most cases, assembling a barebone computer kit is simply a matter of mounting the motherboard in the case, inserting the system processor, mounting the cooling fan and heat sink and installing the RAM. Once these components are in place, mount the hard drive and optical drive. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Advantages<o:p></o:p></span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Building a computer from components allows you to reuse older compatible components. When the motherboard from an older computer fails, there is no need to throw the entire computer in the recycling bin. Other components may still be usable in the new case. Drives, graphic cards and memory are all components that can be given new life on a compatible motherboard. Customization is another benefit of building your own computer.<o:p></o:p></span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307466572059018259.post-26663203273506810242011-06-14T18:30:00.001+05:302011-06-14T18:30:10.609+05:30Reset a Dell Axim Password<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

Windows will usually list the device as installed and working properly, but the error message is displayed when the modem is used to dial out.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">Possible Causes</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">A missing or damaged Telephon.ini file or an absent or corrupted Telephony Application Programming Interface service provider registry entry can cause error 633, according to Microsoft. The error also can result from users attempting to establish more than one simultaneous broadband connection with a single modem, or other applications like fax or voice software using the modem. Error 633 is also caused by outdated software, conflicting with Windows XP modem drivers.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />

Press "Ctrl," "Alt" and "Delete" to enter the Task Manager and scan the list of running programs. Terminate any that might be using your modem. Find out if the Telephon.ini file is missing or damaged by clicking the "Start" menu, selecting "Find," and checking the box labeled "Files" or "Folders." Enter "telephon.ini" into the Search field and click "Find." If the file is present, rename it to "telephon.old." Click the "Start" menu, select "Run," type in "tapiini.exe" and hit "Enter." Restart the computer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;"><span> </span>If the error message persists, use the registry editor to determine the status of the TAPI service provider entry key.

Such as few years back all <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/difference-between-lcd-and-led-monitors.html">LCD</a> monitors were shipping with a blue <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-install-gforce-nvidia-gaming.html">VGA</a> connector. Current monitors favor new DVI technology and new computers are responding to this by phasing out <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-install-gforce-nvidia-gaming.html">VGA</a> ports. If you have an old <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2010/11/how-to-install-gforce-nvidia-gaming.html">VGA</a> monitor, but only DVI ports on your computer, don't rush out to replace the hardware. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;"><a name='more'></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">Here are the steps to convert old LCD port into DVI port:</span></b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;"> </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">1).

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">Main reason behind widescreen <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-connect-two-computers-to-one.html">monitor</a> blurriness is a lack of necessary <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2010/10/different-types-of-rams.html">RAM</a> (random access memory) to run your computer's programs, although a number of <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-connect-two-computers-to-one.html">monitor</a> settings under your operating system may need to be tweaked in order to fix this problem. Fortunately, no specific computer expertise is required in order to troubleshoot and fix a blurry widescreen <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-connect-two-computers-to-one.html">monitor</a>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">Follow the below steps to resolve this issue:</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">1). Check your widescreen monitor under different situations. If the <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-connect-two-computers-to-one.html">monitor</a> only appears blurry in certain situations and not others, the issue may not lie with the monitor itself. There must be enough free <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2010/10/different-types-of-rams.html">RAM</a> available for your computer programs and games to run smoothly and without blur.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">Try closing certain unneeded programs and testing your <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/2011/01/how-to-connect-two-computers-to-one.html">monitor</a>'s performance.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">2). Use the Task Manager in Windows to check on your system's performance and view what applications are open and which may need to be closed in order to free up enough memory to eliminate blur on your widescreen monitor. Press the "CTRL" and "ALT" and "Delete" buttons simultaneously on your computer's keyboard to bring up the Task Manager. You may select the "Performance" tab under the Task Manager to check your applications' memory usage.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">3). Ensure the latest version of Direct X is installed on your computer.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">4). Right-click anywhere on your desktop area if blur problems continue on your widescreen monitor. Select the "Personalize" listing from the menu that appears after right clicking, then select "Display Settings." Choose the "Highest" setting option within this Display Settings window.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">5). Change the refresh rate of your widescreen monitor to 60 hertz. This also can be altered under the "Display Settings" menu and by selecting "Advanced Settings" and "Monitor."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">6). Right click on your desktop again if problems persist and the fonts exclusively appear to be blurry. Select "Personalize," then choose "Windows Color and Appearance." Choose the "Effects" listing from the pop up box. Select the "Clear Type/Standard."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">7). Allow Windows to choose the correct settings to improve blurriness if all other attempts fail. Right click on the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. Choose "Properties" and "Advanced System Settings." Under the Advanced Settings tab, select "Advanced" and "Performance Settings." Choose the "Let Windows choose what's best for my computer" option under the "Performance Settings" listing.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307466572059018259.post-36006979360467121592011-06-04T05:00:00.003+05:302011-06-06T14:44:10.646+05:30Troubleshoot NVRAM<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">If the <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/search/label/Laptops">laptop</a> fails unexpectedly, you could lose years worth of pictures, documents and personal files. Testing the condition of your <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/search/label/Laptops">laptop</a> components from time to time is one of the best ways to protect you from the possible loss of data.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">Following are the steps to test the life of your <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/search/label/Laptops">laptop</a> components:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">1). Shut down the laptop and wait for it to power down completely. Press the power button and watch the screen closely. <br />
<a name='more'></a></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">2). Press the appropriate key to enter setup mode. This hot key varies from <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/search/label/Laptops">laptop</a> to laptop, so watch the screen for a message saying "Press XXX to enter setup."</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">3). Wait for the setup menu to appear, then arrow over to the advanced menu. Scroll through the list of options until you find the available <a href="http://hardwaretexpert.blogspot.com/">hardware </a>tests. You should see both a fast and a thorough hard drive test, and perhaps a memory test as well.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">4). Run all of the available tests from the setup menu. The results can tell you a great deal about the health of the laptop, from the condition of the hard drive to the quality of the memory.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-307466572059018259.post-53260068247477429352011-06-03T18:30:00.004+05:302011-06-03T18:30:06.723+05:30System randomly crashing, rebooting, freezing?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:WordDocument> <w:View>Normal</w:View> <w:Zoom>0</w:Zoom> <w:PunctuationKerning/> <w:ValidateAgainstSchemas/> <w:SaveIfXMLInvalid>false</w:SaveIfXMLInvalid> <w:IgnoreMixedContent>false</w:IgnoreMixedContent> <w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText>false</w:AlwaysShowPlaceholderText> <w:Compatibility> <w:BreakWrappedTables/> <w:SnapToGridInCell/> <w:WrapTextWithPunct/> <w:UseAsianBreakRules/> <w:DontGrowAutofit/> </w:Compatibility> <w:BrowserLevel>MicrosoftInternetExplorer4</w:BrowserLevel> </w:WordDocument> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style>

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">Is your system randomly crashing, rebooting, freezing, etc? Then here are the right steps to resolve the issue:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">1. Consider the make & model of your computer system. A cheap, generic or underspecified computer system can be the cause of many stability-related issues or even damage other components.<span> <br />
<a name='more'></a></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">2. Have you tried running Memtest86+ overnight? Download it, burn it as a CD, and boot to it. It'll automatically start testing your RAM. Even one memory error is too much and will cause system instability or even data corruption. This could indicate faulty memory, voltage irregularities, incorrect timings, overheating, or even a problem with the CPU or motherboard.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 13pt;">3. Capacitors, or caps for short, are like small batteries. They can also fail in the same ways; swelling, leaking out of the top or bottom, or even exploding in severe cases. This can cause voltage irregularities and system instability. Unless you are already skilled at electrical repair, it's almost always best to just replace the entire component.</span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2
