Computer Troubleshooting

Do you often experience damage to your computer? Are you going to directly call a technician? Here are some tips that might help you.

 

 

 

Trouble on the processor

If the processor is damaged / not installed properly what happens is:

• You hear a long BEEP 1 time rising.
• No display / Blank
• Lights / LED indicator blinking monitor proofed

Actions to be performed are:

• Fix the location of the processor
• Check Pin / leg processor if one is bent
• Check fan rotation, sometimes the cooling fan is not spinning

Trouble on the RAM

If the memory is damaged / not installed properly what happens is:

• You hear a continuous length of BIP 4 times
• No display / blank
• Lights / LED indicator blinking monitor proofed

Actions to be performed are:

• Fix a memory location, and place it in the correct slot
• If damaged replace it with another memory / new.

Trouble on the harddrive / harddisk

If the harddrive / harddisk is not readable / detected or damaged then what happens is:

• Hard drive not detected
• HDD error message appears
• A message appears No System disk error, boot failure, etc.
• booting the old
• You hear a rough on the disk
• Always finish scandisk when booting

Actions to be performed are:

• Check the power cable and data cable, be sure not to install it upside down
• Check your BIOS settings may not have been activated
• If using more than one harddrive / harddisk, check the jumper may be a collision.
• Check the file system (I / O.sys and MSDOS.SYS) if damaged / lost give the new system
• Let scandisk first, if there are BAD you can do to reformat.

Trouble on the VGA

If the VGA is damaged then what happens is:

• You hear a short-BIP 4 times
• No display / blank
• Lights / LED indicator blinking monitor proofed
• Display swayed and blurred
• Display colors change color.

Actions to be performed are:

• Check your VGA card and the correct location
• Check the data cable may not have been installed properly
• Check the settings of the vertical / horizontal and contrast / brightness
• Check the VGA drivers that are used may not be appropriate.

Make friends with Linux

This blog was originally just talking about the tricks and software in Windows environment. From now onwards (hopefully), Linux will be posting additional material to me. Let's get acquainted with linux.

A Short History Linux
What is Linux? Linux is a kernel created by Linus Torvalds. So what's the story until Linus created the kernel of this.

Linus Benedict Torvalds, born in Helsinki, Finland on 26 December 1969. Linus entered the University of Helsinki Department of Computer Science. Linus gets a lesson on the campus of Unix and C Programming, Linus bought his first PC. In his time Unix operating system which is very famous and very attractive interest. Unfortunately this is very expensive operating systems and source code is freely available. Then as an alternative, Linus tries MINIX operating system (UNIX Minimal) which is a simple clone of the UNIX operating system.

MINIX was created by Dr. Andrew Tanembaum to teach students about the internal workings of the operating system. But Dr. Andrew Tanembaum has no intention to develop a MINIX. MINIX source code is provided in the book of their own and the floppy disk that can be purchased and of course has the distribution rights.

Because the MINIX source code that is not free in the person who tinkers, make Linus thinking to create an operating system similar to MINIX, but do not have limitations for development or copyright which means it is free. Linus finally managed to make a kernel (core operating system) that can be used but still have very limited capabilities.

After that Linus send emails expecting cooperation programming community. Message from Linus provides exceptional response. Great programmers develop hand in hand-made operating system kernel to be an operating system that is ready for use.
Even until now programmers from various communities go hand in hand to develop this operating system, so do not be surprised if up to now circulate a lot of Linux distros. Some are free and some are paid.

For the next post about Linux distributions are known.
