Check everything first (common pc troubleshooting)
image taken from dansdata.com
We all know that pc's get broken from time to time, infinite ways to annoy you and up to the point that the system is inoperable. Here are some tips before you call the pc mechanic and save a lot time and money...
When you are having problems with your pc, ther are things that you might end up checking out first before reaching for help...
If it has something to do about hardware, you should always check if there are loose connections, i had experienced this several times, even with my friends computers.
They just simply have loose ends, the best way to fix it is turn off your computer and manually check them all.. if you think a certain device is the culprit, double check and see if you can resolve it.
When it comes to software problems, there are ways to check this out first
Blue screens galore? hmmm, try checking them out first.
- Video card
Here is the most common problem occuring within a common pc these days, this is the result of malfunctioning hardware,
A video card that has been overheated tends to show artifacts, i see this as green spots on my screen while gaming, check if there is a good ventilation of your card, these happen especially with cards that have big fans and starts to clog, dust them if you want, if you see the fans moving slower than usual, put some machine oil on them.
A rule of the thumb is, if you touch the heatsink ( the plate that attaches to the video card , usually made of aluminum or copper) you'd get a burning sensation, if not, its not the problem.
- Ram
Clean the metal ends that connect the modules to your pc, some might have dust on them and just a false alarm of impending hardware failure.
- Hard disks /softwares...
You can notice them when there is a significant rise in the loading times of your programs. This is another common problem with a pc.
Use scandisk first to check the file system and other things that concerns them. if the problem is solved, just run them from time to time as this problem occurs frequently along with power failures and fluctuations.
A way to prevent these voltage irregularities is use a UPS ( uninterruptible power supply) .
When you can't even get to the windows environment,
You can boot to safe mode and check for problems there (press f8 after the bios screen [first thing that opens up after you turn on your pc])
If you think you have installed a wrong driver, you can uninstall them with a good chance of repair is thru safe mode. Alternatively, you can use system restore to bring back the system to its installation state.
This is the best way to get your OS (operating system) back to normal. You can always use the original xp cd and try to recover your files back. Set your bios settings on the first boot device to CD-ROM, put the cd in, and restart, it should ask for instructions, just press any button after the bios screen. There are two choices, either reformat or repair..
We will with the repain on this situation, press the "r" button to get it onto the MS-DOS screen and type these things,,,,, this usually helps..
chkdsk
Also, you can type help if you want to see the full commands. after you have finished, just type exit and this helps sometimes if it relates to the hard disk problems.
- Other pc parts...
If youur pc shuts down after a while, the problem lies within the processor being hot or the PSU ( power supply unit) . pc's have a fail-safe features in them, when it reaches a threshold of its heat limitations, it suddenly shuts itself down.
Check if the fan is working properly, the pc fan can accumulate a lot of dusk including its heatsink (aluminum part ,usually between the fan and the processor)
A power supply with no exhaust or broken fan seems to have this problem too, you can also use any machine oil to get it working in proper condition.
Remember to use your common sense in repairing your computer, there are a lot of people that can fix their pc's inexpensively by just learning something about the machine every now and then.
You can always ask techimo.com about your pc problems, i am not part of their website but this is by experience the best site to ask for pc related things.
Gaming Addiction
Gaming Addiction
Here's my first blog about videogames. Since i was young, i was hooked into addiction. Video games are the best way to entertain and relax yourself.
Before i went to kindergarten, my mom gave me a Nes or we used to call it "family computer"... i was so amazed at it that i had a passion for it. at that time, we only had mario and a submarine game called "sqoon" ...
I had a somewhat strict family, but i managed to get a lot of playtime.
After that, i had been hanging out at videogames station. In our country, people don't have a lot of money to buy a console, they just simply go to these stations and simply enjoy themselves.
after graduating elementary, pops bought me a sega genesis, which then rocked.. i had a lot of memories playing mortal kombat 3 way back at 1995..
Two years later, my uncle bought me a playstation. I only had been sure of one thing that games will always look better as time goes on. My high school life will never be the same again. While i played videogames like there's no tomorrow, i actually excelled on my studies. Back then, it was an incentive for me to earn good grades, it did. In our school, if you have good grades on the first to the third grading period, you would get a reward, the school offers the tests for the last grading period in advance for studs with good grades.. on the second week of february, you can have your test and worry about what you like to do on the next month. i had the best gaming time when i was on that ps1 era.
Time went by, as i entered college, my aunt gave me a 133 mhz pentium 1 processor with 1 megabyte video ram. it was early 2000, it was sort of prehistoric, but in our country, that was still a good spec pc system. hehe. I never complained,..
as my last year was inevitable, my pops bought me a new rig (thank god) after four years... then, i knew this would get better... i had a athlon xp with a geforce2 graphics card. considering the year was 2004, still, i never complained about it since personal computers here do cost a fortune.
then time went by, i had finished all my units in college. I had freelance jobs, and a home-based job as of now. I constantly improve my specs just to get games to run good on my system.
I earned my video card just for selling online MMORPG money, Ragnarok online was my ticket. I scored a 6600gt and a gig of ram for it.
currently, i'm playing age of empires 3, far cry, and CS: source. Of course, i could only play during my free time. oops, i got to install yet again Battlefield 2 due to reformats. how about you, what game would you like to play today ?
