Steps to Solve Computer Problems
Feb 2nd
STEP 1:
MONITOR THE POST:
The power-on-self-test (POST) tests the computer whether all the hardware are working properly or not! POST make sure that it meets the necessary system requirements. If the POST is passed the computer will have a beep. The POST will display any problems found with hardware that makes the computer unable to boot, POST may also display problems with hardware that allow the computer to boot, but not operate at its full capacity during operation.
STEP 2:
LOADING TIME OF OPERATING SYSTEM:
This is very important step. Notice the loading time of Operating system. It should take around 4 to 5 sec (though 15 to 20 sec is manageable). If the load time exceeds this then it shows that there is a problem in Hardware.
STEP 3:
ONCE THE OS HAS LOADED CHECK FOR GRAPHICS PROBLEM:
Blank screen or reduced graphics may indicate driver or hardware failures with graphic cards. Please check for graphic cards.
STEP 4:
PERFORM AN AUDITORY TEST:
An auditory test is an unorthodox, but still effective way of judging how hard a computer is working. With the computer on and running, play any decent length audio file (usually above 30 sec). If the audio is choppy or slow, it usually means that the processor is working at an elevated level, or there is not enough RAM to run all programs loading. Changing the startup sound is a great way to apply this test.
STEP 5:
CHECK THE PROBLEM WITH ANY NEWLY INSTALLED HARDWARE:
Operating systems, like Windows, can conflict with new drivers. The driver may be badly written, or it may conflict with another process. Windows will usually notify you about devices that are causing a problem, or have a problem. To check this use the Device Manager, this can be accessed by entering the Control Panel, clicking the System icon, clicking the Hardware tab, and clicking on Device Manager. Use this to check and arrange the properties of hardware.
STEP 6:
CHECK FOR NEWLY INSTALLED SOFTWARE:
The software creates problems if the computer does not provide sufficient resources. It usually happens at the start of the software. If the problem arises at the start of computer then it shows that the problem is with the Booting software.
STEP 7:
RAM AND CPU CONSUMPTION:
It is good practice to see if a program is consuming more resources than the computer can provide. An easy way to check this is to use the Task Manager, right click on the taskbar select Task Manager, and click the Processes tab. The CPU column contains a number that indicates the percentage of CPU the process is consuming. The Memory Usage column indicates how much memory a process is consuming.
STEP 8:
CHECK FOR SCRATCHING OR LOUD NOISES:
Listen for the scratching or loud sounds in the computer. Shut off the computer and check for the problem in Hard Drive. Listen to the CPU fan. If the fan runs too fast, it shows that the CPU is working hard, and can tell you when the CPU is working beyond the capacity.
STEP 9:
RUN VIRUS SCAN:
Run virus scan with commonly used virus scanners, like, Norton Antivirus. Performance of the computer can be greatly affected the software with viruses. So check for viruses!
STEP 10:
PROBLEM IN SAFE MODE:
Lastly, check the problem in safe mode. To enter safe mode, Press F8 repeatedly during POST (this works on most systems). If the problem persists in safe mode, it shows the problem in operating system.
Effect of Launching Symbol of Rupees on Computer Hardware Business
Feb 1st

The latest and a unique Indian Rupee Symbol denotes the sturdiness of the Indian Economy worldwide and its growth potential. It will enable the world to distinguish the Indian currency from others. It will be soon incorporated in various softwares and hardware items for commercial and mass use across the world.
About a couple of years may be needed for bringing the new Indian Rupee symbol into a wide commercial use in various keyboards and typewriters. The Deputy Chairman at the Planning Commission, Montek Singh Ahluwalia also mentioned the need of the Rupee symbol to be incorporated into computer keyboards as well as softwares and operating systems. This will enable its better day-to-day use even for international references and transactions with maximum ease.
The symbol is nice, keeps other currency symbols in mind and is easy to make even with hand. The only problem with this new symbol is bringing it into current usage on computers, laptops and typewriters. The hardware business, including the laptop dealers, seems dicey.
Whenever a user wants to use the symbol while working on a computer, it must be available without any difficulty. For clearing this obstacle out, the Rupee symbol will soon be at par with other currencies’ symbols such as Euro, US Dollar, British Pound and Japanese Yen. The Indian currency will soon be having a distinct identity worldwide.
This transformation in hardware and softwares is not as easy as it seems to be. Many common people will have to face the brunt of it. It is quite logical to notice that after the incorporation of the new symbol on keyboards, typewriters and other hardware items, people will have to replace their hardware items with the new ones that have a newer key for the symbol.
Computer Freezing Up? 3 Ways to Cure Computer Freeze Up
Jan 31st
Have you ever been in the middle of a project, or playing a game when all of a sudden your computer freezes up? No matter how hard you try to get your computer to come back to life the only thing you can do is manually hit the power button. This causes you to lose all the information that you had not saved before the computer freeze. This can be a giant pain which is why I thought I would help you out by giving you three ways to prevent the infamous computer freeze or blue screen of death in the future.
1. Upgrade Hardware – If your computer is constantly freezing up it may be because you are pushing your system to its limits. If you’re an avid gamer, maybe it’s time to upgrade your graphics card. If you work with graphic design, perhaps it’s time to upgrade your system’s RAM. These are affordable investments into your computer and can significantly boost the speed of your computer. If you’re not comfortable changing the hardware in your computer then just find a local PC technician. You may have to sacrifice the use of your PC for a day or two but it will be well worth it.
2. Update Hardware Drivers – One common reason for computer freeze up is hardware malfunction. The best thing that you can do is run updates for all of your hardware devices so that you can be sure that all of your hardware devices are integrating correctly. Just go to the control panel and run the required updates. Not all hardware devices will need to be updated.
