One day you may be in panic for finding out your files have vanished from your PC. Whether the problem involves software or hard drive, you can actually pull through the mess.
So you may have added a stick of RAM and then suddenly your PC seemingly crashes down: boot routines fail and there are sudden shutdowns. This can mean you have a case of bad memory upgrade.
Also, new addition to your memory may not be compatible with the existing one. In this case try to boot your PC and enter the memory settings. From there you can reboot again and wait for results that will show how the two memory sticks react to each other.
Be ready with any eventuality. Keep a set of tools that you can use anytime your PC bogs down. These tools should be placed strategically where you can reach for them in times of need.
You may invest on basic items such as screwdrivers for use in attaching or removing components; needle-nose pliers; tweezers for getting jumpers and hard to reach items; lint free cloth for cleaning and wiping parts; compressed air clears gummed up fans and vents to be used in reviving blinded optical drives and for data connections; electrical contact cleaner solution to improve electrical conductivity and a hand-held vacuum for sucking dirt, hair and other embedded particles.
Microsoft denies the fact that their new and upcoming version of the popular Windows OS is a derivative of Vista which is set to go on sale this coming year. They have not been discreet about the whole thing yet have been secretive about pricing and any final details. The beta edition is already out and is undergoing testing by many industry experts who have managed to get hold of copies through the internet. Of the facts that have surfaced, one thing is for sure, they will come in the same flavors as Vista did and it may include upgrade options for XP users. (more…)

Re-boot and use the CD as boot disk, formatting the hard drive (you can chose the type of file system as you do so, Fat32 or NTFS). Make sure you check or select make disk bootable in the format menu. After the format (a few hours if you have a large hard drive) run the fdisk utility that allows you to partition your hard drive into several small ones or you can simply select the hole drive as the primary partition from which you will be booting from.

There comes a time when you simply have tons of files and programs that are getting onto your nerves and even with uninstalls of unused ones still fails to speed up your perfectly good PC, then the only option would be to do a clean re-install of your OS and all the programs you may be using. It may be a good time to do a total PC cleaning, taking out hidden dust bunnies and others from the innards of the PC, with a healthy memory upgrade to match. You could also consider upgrading your hard drive to a larger one if you think you’d be needing it. First step, back up all files (documents, pictures, audio and others) onto CD’s or DVD’s for safety’s sake. (more…)
Hit two birds with one stone – use the Disk Cleanup utility to clean up your system trash and speed up your computer.
Disk Cleanup is probably one of the most basic tasks people fail to run regularly. System trash and loads of temporary and temporary internet files gradually build up with normal use, and consume vital disk space as well as slows the computer down.
To run Disk Cleanup, go to Start Menu > Program Files > Accessories > System tools. Then select you boot drive – C: – as the drive you want to clean up (you can also do this with other drives that you have) and then select the sections you want cleared up. The process doesn’t take too long – about 30-45 minutes at most for really big boot disks.
Ever had a problem with your PC you simply cannot fix whatever the online tech support and how-to sites recommend? Have you checked the boot-up sequence? If you have a computer that is more than a couple of years old then this may be sign of a faulty or worn out BIOS battery which helps your computer keep all the hard-ware settings you or the computer shop may have pre-set when you bought the computer.

It may seem that when you first installed your Windows XP, it booted up really fast. You tend to wonder all the horrible stories you’ve read that Windows has a very slow boot up. A few years down the road, you feel it–you begin twiddling your fingers and asking yourself as to why it takes you 3 minutes to be able to do anything on your PC. What do you do?
According to the experts the best way to go about this is to find the source:
Legitimate programs usually put an icon in the SysTray, next to the clock on the Windows Taskbar. Right-clicking an icon will often let you tell the program not to load. However, Microsoft provides msconfig, a good utility for controlling how Windows starts up. To run it, click Start, select Run, type msconfig in the box and click OK. The Startup tab on the far right lists the programs being loaded, but it’s worth looking through the other tabs. Microsoft has a trouble-shooting guide to using it: search Google for Q310560.
