Your PC will not act at all? Hard drive not detected, which felt slower optical drives, a monitor that is not optimal appearance, or a router that too often hangs? Do not panic, find the solution here!Occasionally this can happen. PC suddenly acting up, and can not be resolved easily. Even if you've read the various troubleshooting guides are available in the manual. And this can also happen to you.
Not looking at the situation and conditions, a system can be acting up. It could be a moment after you perform the update drivers. Or after making additional enhancements to your system. Or occur suddenly, without warning or prior notice.
And this review will discuss the things mentioned above. Have no need to panic anxiety and deal with it.
Sit quietly, and just follow the discussion this time. Hopefully one of them is the answer to the problem you face with your favorite PC.
Latest, Not Bug-Free Means
Not always provide the best technology to users. Even the few times we have witnessed myself, the products that carry the latest technology, the initial batch has been accompanied by dizzying perbagai considerable problem.
For example, a motherboard with the latest chipset. Here are some cases that is often felt by the members of the lab PC Media. There should be some small-scale research, to be able to run a series of tests to perfect. Starting from the occasional search for BIOS updates, driver updates or just an updated manual of the product concerned.
Another example is for testing video cards. With the increasingly sharp competition ATI Radeon and Nvidia, to make different products with the latest chipset, kept coming into our lab. Which ultimately requires a software patch testing solutions. To be able to run it.
Then, how about that happening in the real world? In everyday use with your PC
Step Opening
As in chess, the first step will be very decisive. Likewise, in solving problems that occur with your PC.
In this subbahasan, will contain about the most important steps in trying to resolve problems with your PC. The most important thing is to try to find out what causes your PC acting up. Last changes what happens on your PC?
This is very important to know for sure. Given, this will greatly facilitate the settlement to be done. Adjusted for possible problems that occurred. From here, it is possible to narrow down the possible problems that occur with your PC.
01. PC No Reacting, When Power Button Pressed.
Problem: you press the power button to turn on your PC, but PC does not show signs of life. What happened?
Solution: If this happens on your PC, there are several possibilities that must be examined one by one gradually.
Step 1: Check all electrical networks, from the AC outlet to the PSU (power supply unit) on your PC. Is it installed perfectly. Starting from the PSU to make sure the switch in the ON position, or if you use a UPS (uniterruptable power supply) and / or stabilizer, AVR (automated voltage regulator). Make sure all the ON position and in good working condition.
Step 2: If it is not the cause, then the next possibility of new on your PC. Make sure all cables (especially power cables) and components installed properly. The trick with mebuka casing, then squeeze back component and the existing cable connectors. Sometimes this is because the connectors are not connected properly. Note also ATX 12V, which can be found on most motherboards these past four years. Motherboard will not act, without ration power from this connector.
Step 3: It would be quite troublesome. Do check the main devices one by one. What is meant is the CPU and motherboard. Make sure both are still functioning properly. Because let's say if the CPU is damaged, the system will not light at all. Likewise, if the motherboard is damaged. Especially for the affairs of its power supply (MOSFETs, power lines on the PCB and so on). This will also cause the PC will not react at all.
02. Fan, Hard Drive A rotation, but Dark Screen Monitor Fixed.
Problem: PC react. There was the sound of fan rotation, and other signs of life from hard disk drives, optical drives and others. However, the monitor remains dark.
Solution: Fiuhh ... at least it was slightly better than a numbers problem. For this problem, you should rely on marks given by the BIOS POST. Make sure the casing is attached speakers either, so you can listen to the beep POST the form of combination is certain is available on most motherboards. Or at the latest release of some motherboards, is also available integrated on the motherboard buzzer.
Even easier if the motherboard BIOS POST code display is accompanied in the form of two seven segment LED, which will display the code hexagesimal. If you do not know the meaning of the code (either sound or light) or even lose the manual, once again no need to panic. You can try to open the site Bios Central (http://www.bioscentral.com).
Hard Drive
Save different documents, favorite songs MP3 format, installation 3D games (which measure up to gigabyte units), some even collect video download DivX format, or master digital video transfer from handycam results. It is not strange if the hard drive with full speed. Adding a hard drive too, apparently not
despite some problems that might arise.
03. System Not Recognize New Hard Drive.
Problem: new hard drive installed, was not detected either in Windows or the BIOS though.
Solution: The point is to install and mengonfigurasikan hard drive correctly. Harddrive not include a hard component in the installation process. However, there are several steps that must certainly have been done, when installing the hard disk.
Step 1: Make sure the disk already get catudaya from PSU. Trivial mistake like this could happen. Given the location of hard drive which is usually at the front of the casing. Sometimes you connect with a branch of power from fan, who did not get power from the PSU. This could also be due to the lack of power connector from the PSU.
Step 2: Make sure the settings for master and slave hard drive exactly as desired. Or if you want to use cable select on the configuration, make sure to use the configuration on the second hard disk, your old and new.
Step 3: If you want to use cable select configuration, consider the installation of the IDE cable on the hard disk. Some of the latest cable, has given a special mark, to help determine which connectors will be regarded as a master, and connectors which would be regarded as a slave. If not available, the easiest way is by following the basic rules. The connector is located tip is designated as a master. While the connector in the middle, will be treated as a slave.
Step 4: If it all has not been able to solve problems, then there is an alternative answer to the BIOS settings. Integrated Peripherals On top choice, there are usually options for the IDE controller. Here too there are options for setting the SATA hard disk controller. If you are experiencing a similar problem, when trying to add a new hard drive to the SATA interface. Especially for SATA hard drive and Windows, do not forget to install the driver that is usually supplied by the motherboard manufacturer. Or update, depending on the chipset the motherboard uses.
04. Hard Drive Detected, but can not be operated.
The problem: the BIOS detects the presence of the hard disk. But not so with Windows, even DOS.
Solution: This is not a big problem. What should be done is to create partitions, and then format the new hard drive. Because the new disk is not formatted in a file system that can recognize the Windows or DOS. There are several possibilities that can be done with the new hard drive.
Possibility 1: If you are wanting to install the new hard drive with Windows 9x operating system, it needs a little basic knowledge about the command FDISK. For this one, we strongly recommend to use the commands on this one accompanied by someone you know who are already experienced.
Possibility 2: If you want to install it with Windows 2000/XP or some of the latest Linux distributions nowadays, you do not need another headache to deal with the FDISK command. They provide the option during the installation process. Just follow the steps and options are given. At least it will be easier than using the FDISK command for most people.
Possibility 3: If the new hard drive would be used as an additional hard drive for data storage, it will be easier. For example you've been using Windows XP operating system. By using a user who has administrator rights you can do the following.
Simply by going to Disk Management. One of them by right clicking on My Computer, select Manage.
Notice the left column. Then in the Storage, select Disk Management. From here you can view and manage your new hard drive more easily.
Note: Be careful when using the facilities available in Disk Management. Do not let one choose the hard disk. Because the data in hard disk or partition may be lost. Similarly, when using FDISK or a similar function available on the operating system installation process.
05. New Hard Drive Installation Extra Large.
Problem: 200 GB Hard Drive not detected either in the BIOS, let alone Windows. In fact, step on a tip to 03 and 04 have been executed all.
Solution: Along with time and technological advances available, mass-produced large-sized hard drive is already available in the market. With the price of fee that is affordable. The core problem is the method is to use LBA (Logical Block Addressing) is used. The problem for the above, is usually caused by hard disk size above 137 GB, using 48-bit LBA.
For that, the first needs to be done is to ascertain whether the BIOS is used, it supports 48 bit LBA. As an example here is to use 48-bit LBA Test Program for the Intel Application Accelerator (http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/sb/CS-009302.htm). Simply by running a simple application 48lbachk.exe on the system.
If you find that your BIOS is not supporting, it is necessary to update the BIOS. Note the readme which is available on the BIOS update. Make sure that the updates that will be used, it can resolve compatibility issues 48 bit LBA harddisk.
Optical Drive
This one device may be used as the mainstay for long-storage business. Here might be some problems that can occur.
06. Burner software does not work on New Optical Drive.
Problem: Suppose you had to say goodbye to the old CDRW drive. And replace it with a new burner drive. But you just realized, that mainstay Nero burner software, can not be used with the new drive. Why is that?
Solution: At the beginning of the boom CD-RW drives, most of the sales package along with the burner software. However, now many outstanding optical drives that do not come with burner software.
Please note, the license granted for OEM sales package. And are reserved for products that dibundle. And Nero has a protection, so that can only be used exclusively for storage. To continue to treat it with a new burner drive, the most minimal cost is to upgrade. Nero 6 Reloaded TODD Latest Upgrade Serial Number (www.nero.com, costing U.S. $ 39.99). It's cheaper than the full version.
07. Write speed is not fast as Promised.
Problem: The specifications did not promise 100% accordance with the existing reality. But if it took the write up to two times or more the time appointed, there must be something wrong. What causes it?
Solution: This may not be so much felt, even for CD-RW drive is the fastest though. However, if it has been transferred to a DVD burner drive, the difference will be felt. It could take more than an hour to complete writing data on DVD media capacity of 4.7 GB.
That need to be ascertained is, whether hard drive or optical drive is used, has been working on the Ultra DMA mode (Direct Memory Access).
How to check, taking into account in Windows XP Device Manager. Open the IDE controller on the tree. And look at the Advanced Settings tab. Note on the Current Transfer Mode. Check on each IDE controller in which the hard drive and optical drive installed.
VGA and Display
Both are designed to pamper the eyes of its users. With a more powerful VGA, you'll get a better frame rate. Whereas with a better display, you'll get a resolution and refresh rate that is not tiring the eye. However, it does not mean they are free of problems.
08. Driver Video Card is not installed with Perfect.
Problem: It seems the driver installation process went perfect. But after restarting the system, there is a warning error box: "Application Error cli.exe. The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click OK to terminate the application. "What causes it and how do I fix this?
Solution: Some users have video cards with ATI Radeon chipsets VPU never felt it. Especially if you never update the drivers and supporting applications using the ATI Catalyst. For information, ATI Catalyst that are specific to this Windows operating system, designed using Microsoft. NET Framework SDK.
The operating system needs to be added by installing the Microsoft. NET Framework. Which is now available is for version 1.1.
It would be useful if you are also going to install applications created by using Microsoft. NET Framework SDK. To solve all the problems, which led to the emergence of pop-up window similar.
09. Avoiding Error Message When Installing VGA Driver Update.
Problem: How should perform the update VGA driver. Because in some cases, there is often an error message appears.
Solution: There is no special command that is included on the installer file update VGA driver, who suggested to uninstall the old drivers previously had installed. However, it is better you do the clean up your operating system from the old driver that ever lived. Before you install it with the latest updates as desired.
For VGA users with ATI Radeon chipsets, you can easily uninstall the old drivers, along with several supporting applications. Because ATI has also included ATI Catalyst Uninstaller, which is automatically included when the ATI Catalyst driver installation process.
For others, it is necessary tricks of its own. Quite a lot of alternatives to clean the old drivers. You can use Driver Cleaner, which is now available Driver Cleaner 3.3, or variants Professional Edition (www.drivercleaner.net).
10. Correcting Display on Monitor.
Problem: You've selected the best monitors. Say a TFT-LCD Monitor, or "just" the leading brand of CRT monitors, which often win the hardware reviews. But the resulting appearance is not satisfactory. What should I do?
Solution: As great as any device whatever, will not be optimal without the optimal configuration. So also for the monitor.
Most LCD monitors have a special button AUTO (or similar), for automatic configuration. In accordance with the data communicated between the monitor with a video card with DDC. But it is sometimes not perfect. Most of the moire interference is still felt. You can use the Monitor Test, and try until interference moire mengalibrasikan minimal.
For CRT monitors, mostly at the level of contrast and brightness problems. Contrast will adjust the monitor power light. But if excessive will be tiring eyes. Brightness will memperterang. However, if too high, it will lose the black level. And in some cases the focus will also interfere with the display monitor.
Networking
DSL Internet connection speed does offer fee that is satisfactory. Package offering price range, can be tailored to the needs. However, the problem was not apart from it. And it's not an easy thing to make an Internet connection that is free from problems.
11. Hang router, and should be restarted.
Problem: At first, when installing the router, this has never happened. But lately, often times a router hangs and needs to be restarted to get Internet connection on a PC connected to the router.
Solution: Even with the best configuration, the router still can experience the hang. Usually this is because too many connection requests at the same time. And so far, the only way to overcome it is to restart the router (turn it off and then turn it back).
Step 1: Had the router manufacturer has provided updated firmware, you can try to update the firmware to fix the routing process and prevent a crash on the router.
Step 2: You can take precautionary action. This sort of thing can also be caused by viruses, spyware also attacked PCs. Run antivirus and antispyware programs have been updated, to check on each PC.
Step 3: Consider the applications installed on each PC client router. Especially some of the applications file sharing Peer to Peer (P2P). Such applications can also cause this. If not configured properly, P2P software can be opened sharring his permission, so that if the request is too much work load automatically your router.
12. Wi-Fi Connection with Sometimes Disconnected.
Problem: network connection using Wi-Fi, occasionally interrupted abruptly. For no apparent reason. This occasionally happens on Centrino notebooks are already equipped with Wi-Fi connection.
Solution: Usually this is caused because the power saving mode. Centrino notebooks by default makes this function enabled in order to save battery consumption. The easiest way is to use the Intel PROSet application (if available).
Or through the properties on WI-Fi devices ethernet, on Network Connections. Then select Configure. Adcanced tab, there is a setting to optimize power consumption. Ad Hoc Transmit Power, influence the range. Meanwhile, Power Management, will adjust to the battery condition, and the idle time of the notebook. And automatically reduces power consumption from the battery.
This, which may cause the Wi-Fi connection is lost. So there are two alternatives that can be done.
Option 1: Setting the maximum position for both functions. Especially if you're not worried about the remaining battery capacity. Because the available shortcut keys to instantly turn off the Wi-Fi functionality in most Centrino notebooks.
Option 2: Adjust the style of your notebook usage. Learn notebook usage when idle. And tried in accordance with the habits of everyday use. Surely you do not want your Wi-Fi connection was suddenly cut off by 5 minutes of idle time has elapsed. And you just leave your notebook, just to go to the toilet or make a cup of warm coffee.
