Tips and Tricks When The Computer Suddenly Not Working

You see!!! Some times our computer suddenly just not function, error, blue screen, hang, they just can load OS such a windows, linux or even Mac, they just can appear on the monitor. If you ever hear or probably thats happen to your computers, don't be panic, just read this tips from Inside The Computers belows.

Some times what makes that happen is because dirty. We are too lazy to clean our computers, so dust every where.

first, try to clean every elements inside the computers, such as Dimm (SDRam, DDram, RDRam) depend whats in your computer, soundcard (if not onboard), VGACard, and processor (becareful when you loose them) place them on save places. second try to brush them with alcohol (60-70%) using toothbrush (smooth). Third, let them dry. and then when you are sure they already dry, then you put them back again to their place. after that, you can try to turn on your computers. Mostly this is work if there is no physically broken.

CAN YOU FIX YOUR OWN HARD DRIVE? I CAN!

That's the question that my friend always ask to me, and I think it's time for me to show that I can fix my own hard drive too, of course I only fix a bad sector or the modules only, not physically such as a motor or the disc it self.

If we have a bad sector hard drive, we still can used it. how ? if we have software (freeware software) mhdd (you can download it at http://www.mhdd.com/).
1. we must boot from DOS (we can have it on cd win98 setup)
2. after we have C:> then we type mhdd (C:> mhhdd) and then press enter
3. after we allready inside mhdd we detect the hard drive first by pressing F2, than we check it by pressing F4. while checking we can see through where the broken drive or bad sector.
4. if we know where the position of bad sector is, we just type erase (still on mhhd) we just have to fill where we want to start to erasing then fill where we have to stop erasing.
5. after this step done, we go back check that drive by pressing F4 and then F4. If our hard drive not physically damage, I'm sure that hard drive allready fix it.

Note :
if we have any important's document on hard drive that we want to repair, we have to back up them first, because if doesn't they will lost for good. I think that's all for now from Inside The Computers, because I've been thinking how to go more further and further but I stuck in this place.

Clean The Computers Frequently

Yesterday suddenly the PC on the office is Error, the PC wont display to the monitor and there is beep sound when I turn on the PC. What they worry about is not the PC but the data inside it. I do understand how much valuable the data for the office, for the factory. So, they call me to repair the PC at the office.

After I open the computer case and clean all the board and everything inside the PC case, including VGA Card, Sound Card, LAN Card using a brush, wait for few minutes and install all the hardware that I removed before properly to the board then I turn the PC on.

The result is, the PC is now cured, the PC is now display to the monitor again, in other words there is no problem with the PC now. So, what is the problem that make the PC wont display and have a beep sound? Sometimes we only use the computer without take care of it. We don't clean it frequently, we doesn't know if the dust is can make rust and do a damage to the PC. So, Inside The Computers will give you an advise, why don't we Clean The Computers Frequently from the dust.

Using Norton Ghost Symantec is more Efficient

Sometimes when I do have a job to installed more than two computers, I really need take much times to do it, so I looking for the solutions so I can do the job more efficient without has to wasting so many times. So I learn how to make an image by using Norton Ghost by Symantec and I can do the installation is more faster then before. Inside The Computers now only give an information about it, not to show how to do it, but later I will do it just for you.

I just create an image and installed the chipset and the drivers to the images and the rest of the process is I use the Norton Ghost is to cloning all inside that image to the other hard drive that I want to installed. Just add view driver and chipset, the result is exactly as the Windows installation.  

But not every computers we can do a cloning using Norton Ghost, because we don't have the chipset yet, but still when we install the windows using a normal way compare with do a cloning using Norton Ghost, I prefer do a cloning, because is more faster and save time a lot.

Activated The Firewall on your Windows

Sometimes we underestimated the Firewall function. Ah, I already install the anti virus, so why should I have to activated the firewall, it will make my computer will work more and slow it down. That kind of thinking is wrong, absolutely wrong, and Inside the Computers will try to explain carefully.

The Firewall is has a function to monitoring all the file which comes to your computer, also the data which comes from your computers to the other outside media such as flash drive, external hard drive, etc. and if there is any suspicious file in the computers, the firewall will told you immediately.

and to activated the firewall is very easy and simple. I know you all know how to activated the Firewall. at least if we have active firewall, the computers will give us the signal if there is any dangerous file in our computers.

Okay, probably I can do more posting tomorrow, because the limit of my internet bandwidth is zero, so I can do much with it, but I will return with the next post still with Inside The Computers.

Why we need to protect our Computers?

Why we need to protect the computers? that's the question always questioning by my student. for some people maybe they computers is no need to protect, because they use the computer alone, nobody use the PC but themselves. But, how about if the computers is use by another person, or we can said the public computers, there must be any different kind of person who use the computers, some people understand how to use computers properly and some people don't (pure users).

If we meet this situation, I believe the computers really need to protect, but how? the effective way is we create few user log in and set it as limited access, so they can't change the setting of the computers without administrator permission. We can also password the PC, and if they are don't know the password, they can access the computer.

Probably this is only few solution from the thousand of solution if we want to protect the computers from physically damage, mostly the data damage. this is Inside The Computers who always give the best solution for our computers.

Update The Anti Virus!

For some people, they think when they already install the Anti Virus, any anti virus, they think the Computer (PC) already protected from the Virus. That's really big mistake if we think that way. Every Anti virus has the updater and we have to update the anti virus every period, once a month, two weeks a time, or twice a months, that's up to you, the important thing is to keep our computer clean we have to update the anti virus.

Inside The Computers often see the users think they PC is already protected because they already installed the anti virus, but they don't know if the anti virus is need to be update, and that's what make the PC is contaminated by the virus. once again Update the Anti Virus!
