Computer suddenly died (would not work)? try these tips

I have been coming several times a friend (customer) computer that died, did not want to work at all or sometimes only until the start screen and then stops / hangs. To find out and solve computer problems, there are a few tips that can be done, according to the problems faced.
Computer dead / hangs before entering the operating system it can be manifold. Here are tips that I never praktekkan and almost always successful. Select according to the problems faced, or do in stages.
* Check the cable from the cable into the UPS / stabilizer, Power cable to the monitor, monitor cable to the CPU and the cable into the Computer. Ensure the installation was fast and fit, and the flow of electricity and have enough.
* If there is a CD-ROM / DVD-ROM and can be opened / closed, then there are problems in the computer (CPU), from the power cable into the motherboard or the motherboard itself, check the cord.
* If the two steps above have been checked, and still not turn on, turn off the computer and reset the BIOS on the motherboard. I can see in the handbook the motherboard, and BIOS Reset search menu. Usually to reset the BIOS to the Jumper 1 (JP1). There are 3 pins, 2 of them were associated with a small connector. To reset, remove the live and install in only a 2 pin. For example 1,2,3 is 3 pin and pin 1 and 2 are connected, then for their stay in the release and install the pin 2 and 3. Leave about 30 seconds or more and then return as they are. Turn on the computer.
* If the BIOS has been reset and still does not work, try to loose the CMOS battery, that is on the motherboard. Diamkan about 1 minute, and then installed again and turn on the computer. If the battery is quite long, more than 3 years, have replaced that with a new one. Moreover, if the hours on the computer often does not match.
* If the processor fan / VGA rotate, but the computer still does not work, then there is something wrong with the motherboard BIOS or the motherboard is damaged. May need to update the BIOS, but before the update, the computer must be up (enter the BIOS) first. To do so, try to loose cable Hardisk, CD-ROM, Floppy. Then, a freelance computer memory (RAM) and the change in the other slot, or use another computer memory. This may need to be repeated several times, until there are signs of life ...
* If the CPU is invisible work, rotating disk and CPU led lights blink but monitor does not have looks, then kumungkinan VGA (Graphic Card) computer problems. Try to change the VGA or VGA check on another computer (This is not so if the VGA one with the motherboard).
If all the steps above, not on the computer, the computer may need to service people in a more expert. To find out more detail of the motherboard or you want to become qualified, you should buy a special tool called PC Analyzer, which is designed to find out the damage the motherboard. Please share your experience about computer suddenly died and would not work .. hopefully useful.
Information
CPU is above the motherboard, memory, CPU, Power Supply, Hardisk, Floppy and other components that are in Computer Casing, other than the monitor. Although the actual CPU is Central Processing Unit (processor), for example, pentium4, AMD etc.. This is to facilitate the course.
Recognize the file type can be infected and spread the virus
0 Commented : Post by : PazSt_Ft2K At : 4:19 PM
Perhaps the most we tahunya only if the virus is the type of exe file (application) only, as indeed most of the virus exe file the form. While many types of files that can potentially be infected with the virus and pass it on when running. So often we are not aware that the files that appeared to be running a virus / virus seeds.
Mengatahui with some type, and hopefully be more careful. Here are some file types that often / can be infected and the virus can pass it on again when the file is executed:
Binary executable Files
Binary executable Files (Portable executable / PE) is a file that is translated as its contents by a computer program. This file consists of several types of windows:
* EXE (executable / Application) file type is a file which is often infected with the virus and most of the virus also form exe. Many viruses that can stick in this file and once executed, the virus spread and menginfeksi original computer. Therefore, when we should have a master's program, in the zip or rename it to reduce the risk of virus infection. Some viruses such as menginfeksi EXE w32/Virut, Troxa, Sality and other.
* DLL (Dynamic Link Library) and OCX format that is actually the same as the type of EXE, it just does not run directly, but used by other files such as EXE. So that the virus can also menginfeksi this file type.
* SCR (screensaver) file format is also such as exe, just ber scr extension, which means the file is a screensaver. So when running, screensaver will appear. Therefore, the virus often duplicate itself with this type and place himself as a screensaver, so that when the screensaver is active, the virus is actually active.
* COM file (Command File), can be Text or Binary Files that run under DOS / MS-DOS. Early generation of viruses seem to be this COM file.
* SYS (Device Driver), is a file that is used for Binary Driver
Document Files
Document files that are frequently infected with the virus file is Microsoft Office terutana DOC (Word), XLS (Excel) and mdb (Access Database). Virus Macro viruses usually form, if the active document and can be run menginfeksi template file (DOT file) so that all files will be opened next virus.
Around september 2007, PDF files used by the start of the code to include the virus-specific code in the document. Usually the form of trojan. Avira as well as be on 6 May 2008, PDF weaknesses code used to insert a virus, so that when the PDF is executed in the form of the virus trojan can install itself to your computer.
Script Files
Script file is a file that contains the script / code and program can be translated by a computer to directly control the software / other applications. Some files are:
* BAT (Batch File), is a script file in MS-DOS and Windows
* Vbs (VBScript), script windows VISUAL BASIC language with a limited
* JS (Javascript), this file can not be immediately active, but is run by a web browser, via an HTML file
Type Other Files
Or some other file type that can also be infected, distribute, or execute code disusupi virus, among others:
* Htm, HTML, CHM (HTML Help) files this program can include Javascript code, so it was not rare virus infected file (trojan)
* Inf is a text file (INI file other types) to install the Device Driver. Viruses often change / modify this file type (file Autorun.inf) to activate the virus and spread through the media such as Flash Disk.
* Folder.htt This file is the file folders that can contain script code. Sometimes the virus to modify its content to run certain code. This can also occur in the Desktop.ini file (desktop configuration)

Returns the USB Flash in the Disable / Write Protected
0 Commented : Post by : PazSt_Ft2K At : 3:59 PM
Have a Flash Disk or External Hardisk with a USB cable that suddenly could not use, may access or disable the messages appear Write-Protected? If you experience this, or you want to disable the use of USB on your computer and restrict access, can try the following tips.
At least there are 2 things that can cause the USB storage media can not be accessed, the first in the access and disable the second, access to the protection, always showing the message that "The disk is write-protected." Both can be arranged through the windows registry.
This Disk is Write-Protected
In this case, the cable can still be read, but can not be written or to store data. If it will be used to store data then a message will appear like this:
If an incident such as above, then try to follow the tips below:
1. Open the Registry Editor (Start Menu> Run, type: regedit and press enter / click OK)
2. Key search below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ StorageDevicePolicies
3. If the panel WriteProtect have the right, double click and fill in the data value 0 or delete WriteProtect or can also delete the key StorageDevicePolicies. Then refresh (View> Refresh)
4. Try a loose USB Flash Disk copy the data and repeat
Conversely, to restrict the user's computer that can not write, copy or move data in flash disk, it can be done with the following tips:
1. Open the Registry Editor (Start Menu> Run, type: regedit and press enter / click OK)
2. Search Key (like a folder) the following
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control
3. Create a new key (right-click menu and select New> Key, then name Storage Device Policies
4. Then open Storage Device Policies key and right click select New> DWORD Value name Write Protect
5. Double click WriteProtect is, in the value and contents of the data with a value of 1. Click OK
Update 27 June 2008
CurrentControlSet addition, conversion must also be key in the ControlSet001, ControlSet002, and so on if any. So, can check in at the Key below:
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ ControlSet001 \ Control \ StorageDevicePolicies
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ ControlSet002 \ Control \ StorageDevicePolicies
Once in the set as above, then all users who use a computer can not save, mencopy or transfer data to a USB Flash Disk, no need me to restart the computer first. So the message appears write-protected disk such as the above. Tips can be run on Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and 2008.
USB Mass Storage not working (Disable)
Sometimes an external storage media such as USB Flash Disk, External hard drives and the like can not be enabled or disable on. If you then try this tip below:
1. Open the Registry Editor (Start Menu> Run, type: regedit and press enter / click OK)
2. Key search below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ UsbStor
3. In the right pane double click Start, change its contents (Value data) with 3 to enable the USB storage, if its 4 then Removable USB mass storage will be in there.
If the effect is not directly visible, then Restart the computer first. Tips can be implemented in Windows Vista, XP, Windows Server 2008, 2003 and 2000.
Password is an important way to protect your computer not to be used by people who do not have the right, such as hackers, for example. But also can make a headache if the password is forgotten, let alone the Administrator password. Because without a valid password, we will not be able to access the windows system. Then re-install if necessary for it to be used again?
For Windows XP can be tested using the default Administrator user and password in kosongi. But if not, there is another alternative that we can try and possibly succeed is high enough. Even this application ensures 100% successful.
Use only PC Login Now (PCLoginNow) which is a Bootable CD. Previous seems this software is not Free, but at this time in the release as Freeware and opensource. PCLoginNow is an easy way to reset the local administrator password or other account in the windows system. No need to re-smpai at this time and all versions of Windows have been boosted.
Besides me reset the password. PCLoginNow can help maintain, change accounts policy setting and properties. Can be used to upgrade the account-level administrator, me-lock or unlock the account and the other without requiring a long time.

To download and more information please open the link in this: http://www.pcloginnow.com. Large files around 58 MB (in the ISO Image format), so that after the download Burning ISO file with DVD / CD-RW. Then restart the computer and Booting with a CD. Usually the BIOS settings can be changed so that booting via CD / DVD
Along with a number of software / programs that install on the computer, we often feel our computer's performance becomes increasingly slow. Or sometimes we tahunya the more we slow computer performance. This is reasonable especially with the ever increasing use of computers with various programs therein.
Actual performance of the computer can be influenced by many factors, both software and hardware. There are many tips that can be done so that the performance of the computer better. Here are some tips that may be possible and may have some general we do or we hear.
1. Uninstall programs that are not used
While not running, programs that rarely or never used can affect the performance of the computer involved. Especially programs that store settings in the registry-setingnya. Why? because every time the computer is started, the windows registry will be loaded in memory, so that the larger size, the memory used will be the larger the.
2. Check the programs that run automatically with Windows
This can be checked with a program like autoruns. Usually there are some programs that always run that is not so important or less important.
3. Defragment hard drives
This can be done through the Properties menu> System Tools> Disk Defragment. The aim to restructure the files according to priorities.
4. Turning off the service that is not used
This requires a little knowledge about computers. Services is a program / library that is also run (in the load) of each computer life. Can be seen through the Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Services. If your computer does not have to use online (internet), there are some service that can enable the non. For example, the Windows Time service and some other (can check the description). But this also need to be careful, if one may cause some functions of the windows is not running.
5. Avoid the use Skin windows
Sometimes the use of display / skin additional windows can affect the performance is quite significant. Especially the use of additional software. We suggest if you want to look different just use Windows Themes (Windows default).
6. Disable some visual effects of Windows
In addition, some effect windows [xp] is not so important at the turn off. Can be done through right-click on My Computer select Properties. On the Advanced tab in the Performance section click the Settings button. Can activate the non-visual effect is not so important.
7. Limit the number of additional fonts
This effect to the application using the font options such as Microsoft Office. With many additional fonts to affect the memory used and the loading will be rather slow.
8. Remove icon on the desktop that is not important
Often, programs that install on the computer will create a new shortcut (icon) on the desktop. If we rarely use the icon, this icon, it is better to clear the course, can reduce the memory consumption a bit.
9. Scan your computer from Viruses, Spyware, trojan and other similar
If your computer is infected with the virus, most of the performance will decrease, and even can-can become a very slow computer. Therefore should always be guarded so that the computer virus-free. then if the computer is often connected to the Internet, it should be about once a month on the computer scan of spyware, and other similar mallware.
10. Use alternative software which is lighter
Some software is only used to shed some of the things that simple. For example, only use ACDSee to see a picture or photo only. If you only want to see pictures melihatl with the standard format, then use the default windows Facility, as ACDSee quite heavy, especially the latest versions.
11. Using Software TuneUp, defragment, and the like.
If we have difficulty with manual optimization system and want the easy way, then we can use the programs TuneUp, Defragment registry, and the like.
12. Upgrade hardware
If you have additional funds and computer specifications are still hand to mouth but can be upgraded hardwarenya such as Memory, CPU or VGA. Usually the most influential Memory and CPU.
13. Re-install
Sometimes the system is very old and full of many programs that do not / rarely used, although it is still only in optimizing slow. If so, may re-install is the best solution, because the system is usually a more "fresh" can be a maximum performance.
Ways may be only part of the above tips you can do and I am sure many others, including tips on optimizing hardware settings.
If we are using Windows XP Home and Professional, and settings for the folders is hidden (Hidden system) is displayed, it will show the folder named "System Volume Information" on drive C: D: and more. Sometimes we are not able to open this folder, or if you can, then to access the file can not. Actually what the function or use of this folder?As is known, that Windows XP Home / Professional to include the function Restore Point, which is a facility to overcome when there is a new program installed on your computer and cause problems, with the condition to restore the windows right / time before the new program is installed on (called a Restore Point). When do restore the computer, data or documents will not be lost. Nah, data restore point is saved in a folder named "System Volume Information" is.
This folder will have on each drive / partition windows, for example, C:, D: and more. Indeed, this folder to see its function is quite important, but sometimes can be dangerous. Because access is limited, then this folder is often used by viruses to save the duplication of the virus itself and can be attacked again (back on) if the restore is done. In addition, we usually can not access this folder. Even the antivirus detects a virus in this folder also sometimes can not remove them.
Actually not so important if this facility can be turned off, often because of a virus nest, and often eat the disk space is enough. Set can be opened for the Start Menu> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore. To turn off this facility check the "Turn off system restore for all drives."
If we believe your computer virus-free, then this facility can be activated, which may need to set only the use of space hardisknya. Each drive C:, D: and the other can be limited to a maximum use of its space with the click Settings button in each of these drives.
Is there a way to access this folder?
Yes, there are several different ways on how to access this folder. To note that only the windows used (Home or Professional) and the File System type (FAT32 or NTFS) that can be known with the right click Drive C:, D: or other in the Windows Explorer and select Properties.
Can only buy a new computer and old computer for sale. But the price of computer time may be decreased sharply, then the alternative is to upgrade the computer components. What is the need to upgrade tips and how to choose the right computer components?
Here I will only discuss the 3 main components to the most influential performance of the computer or the applications that run on the Computer, which are: Memory (RAM), CPU (processor) and VGA (graphics cards). Although other components such as hard drives and motherboards are also influential, but the 3 components of the impact is greatest. Following explanation of each and the impact on the computer.
UPGRADE MEMORY (RAM)
Memory is the computer components that are easy to upgrade. To check how much memory the computer, right-click My Computer> Properties will display information about the computer and memory used (Windows). But that figure is used memory windows, because the capacity can only partly shared with the VGA motherboard.
Memory is very influential to the performance of the computer, because every application process that is in the hard drive, will always be first stored in memory and in the process by Processor. If using Windows XP and the computer memory is only 128 MB, then to run standard programs are likely to feel heavy. If you run an application such as Corel Draw, Photoshop and other graphics applications with the 256 MB Memory is less optimal.
To find out how much memory usage, can be checked via Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del), and views the Performance tab> PF Usage. If beberepa used to run computer applications and memory is almost always fully used, the memory upgrade can increase performance quite large.
To upgrade memory, buy memory live in accordance with the memory of a computer, and install memory in addition to the existing, as is typically provided at least 2 memory slot (where installed memory). To note is the type of memory used. For older computers, usually using the SDRAM, while the current average type of DDR SDRAM (or often referred to as DDR only). DDR is for DDR1, DDR2 and DDR3, and this must be the same type of memory in the computer.
How do I know the type of memory in the computer?
If you still have a guidebook (manual) motherboard, then there is described on the specification of components are supported, including Memory Type. Alternatively the software is free CPU-Z which can be downloaded from here or http://www.cpuid.com/. With this application can be the type of memory and the size / capacity.
If the computer still has 512 MB of memory or less, then the memory upgrade will usually be enough to help increase computer speed.
UPGRADE CPU (processor)
Processor will be large enough to affect the performance of the computer. But for the processor upgrade is not as easy as upgrading memory, because for removing and installing some of the CPU must sometimes requires special techniques. To note is the similarity in the CPU socket on the motherboard. To find out can be seen in the book Manual program with the motherboard or CPU-Z.
Upgrading the CPU will increase the speed of almost all computer programs, especially programs that use very complex calculations, such as Matlab, animated 3D Rendering, Programming, Image Processing / Image in Photoshop, Processing the graph with a lot of Corel Draw and more.
UPGRADE VGA (Graphic Card)
VGA (graphics cards) are the components that process the image and display it on the monitor. VGA will mempergaruh ability to image generated in the monitor, usually to display 3D animations, 3D Games, 3D graphics with the high complexity and the other. If not using the applications, the standard VGA or become a regular one with the motherboard (on-board) is usually sufficient.
To note when upgrading the VGA slot is used. AVG have slots, PCI, PCI-E and PCI-E 2. To find out can be seen in the motherboard manual which is included in the direct view or the motherboard. And often incorrect, only the rate of Memory VGA only. Because the more important is VGA and the Memory Clock Frequency GPU (the processor is in the VGA). For example, with 128 MB VGA Memory Clock 500 MHz and 400 MHz GPU will be faster than the 256 MB VGA Memory Clock 400 MHz and 300 MHz GPU Frequnecy. If you are familiar with the VGA, Bus Width (wide data path) is also a VGA to speed.
One of the bootable CD is a very useful UBCD4Win (UBCD / Ultimate Boot CD for Windows), because the bootable CD we use to fix various problems with the computer, from the recovery data, the operating system to eradicate the virus. But some may still difficulties on how to create a Bootable CD-nya.
UBCD4Win does not provide download the ISO file directly on to CD burning, but its only the installer and make our own. This is because the ISO file contains the system files of Windows XP, and this will be considered in violation of Microsoft copyrights. Therefore, to make it to be done by the Windows XP CD itself. Next step is creating a Bootable CD
Earlier, download the latest installer to make Bootable CD from this site UBCD4Win. Size is large enough (about 245 MB), so be sure to download the download manager. After the download is complete, then run the file. Here I use the UBCD4Win version 3.20 (UBCD4WinV320.exe). Then follow the steps Installasi UBCD4Win following:
1. Run (install) file UBCD4WinV320.exe
2. Window will appear verification file hash (MD5). If your computer is connected to the Internet, can be selected Yes, if not just click the No
3. Then if the verification was successful, the installation process will take place, wait until finished
4. Once completed, it will appear "Integrity Check for UBCD4Win" click OK
5. Click Next on the windows "Information", will have to check whether the patch file (the improvement in this version), if you want to (punye internet connection) just click Yes. Or can only be ignored with the click No
6. So will UBCD4Win installation process is complete, the next can be run directly UBCD4WinBuilder, which will then be used to create ISO image file.
Create ISO Image file
ISO file is a file that can be directly in the burning to a CD, and bootable CD. After UBCD4WinBuilder run then follow these steps:
1. When first run window will appear License. Just click "I Agree"
2. next window will show "Search for files Windows Installation". Just click the No
3. Window on the UBCD4Win PE builder, content or search path CD / DVD-ROM that contains the Windows XP CD
4. Then click the Build menu or select Builder> Build (F7), wait for the installation process (take the file system from Windows XP CD to complete)
5. When finished, select the menu Builder> Build ISO / CD (F5), wait until finished
6. Akan UBCD4WinBuilder.iso generated file, which then can be burning to CD
May show some error, when the previous ISO file I created with 3:13 showing UBCD4Win version 3 error, but after burning my results, can only walk. appear in this version 2 error, which displays a message that 2 files do not have windows. Maybe things like this because of differences in the windows version. Ignore it if it appears an error, as long as the ISO file was successfully created, the next test on the CD.
Cloning Hardisk / EASUS Operating System with Disk Copy
0 Commented : Post by : PazSt_Ft2K At : 12:59 PM
Re-install is a job that sometimes is quite tiring and time consuming, but sometimes it must be done, for example because the computer is exposed to the virus and have been very severe, the operating system you want to appear more "fresh", install on other computers and other more quickly. Install only if the operating system only, may one day be finished, but in addition also need to install the drivers that need to be computer time.
The fastest way is easy and with cloning hard drives, so each time need to re-install, open the living who have made the backup and restore the operating system. This is easier and condense time. One way is with a Bootable CD EASUS Disk Copy.
Easus Disk Copy is a Bootable CD that provides copy hardsk / partition sector per sector regardless of operating system, file systems and partition scheme. With the copy feature sector-by-sector will ensure the results of a copy-will be the same with 100% original. So Easus Disk Copy can be used to copy, cloning, or upgrading an existing system in a small hard drive to a new hard drive with a larger size. All data will be tercopy, including deleted files, files are missing and that is not terakses.

I saw several times the computer (PC) or laptop computer with specification and over the relatively moderate, but when run the program / browsing in windows explorer, often feels slow. After review, the user is often less attention to how the [tip] improve the performance of Windows XP that is used.
In fact many ways / tips to improve the performance of Windows, the software can be either maupu hardware. Which will be discussed here is to improve the performance of Windows (the software) with 3 simple steps.
1. Manage Settings "Performance Options"
Right-click My Computer and select the Advanced tab Click on Settings in the Performance
So that the computer work faster, they can be selected Adjust for best performance, but if you want to use the XP look, just select (check) the option:
* Use visual styles on windows and buttons
* Smooth edges of screen fonts
* Use the drop Shadows for icon labels on the desktop (if enabled desktop icon)
Other animation is not so important, so uncheck the check-it.
2. Set the application that runs with windows
This may be more influential to the performance and memory usage. Some users do not consider any such application that runs automatically with windows start up when. While many applications that are not important, but always running in the backround, so it would take Memory (RAM) and sometimes make the computer's performance.
If you use a laptop, then the application is usually run automatically with the windows will be more and more. One is the number of indikasinya icon in the system tray. How to set up and check the applications that are running windwos with this?
How to most easily and is recommended to use the software free Autorun, can be downloaded in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx or Direct Download (zip) Autorun
In addition to the small size, this software is portable. But this is probably the best autorun applications have so far. After the download, execute and select the logon tab. Now the list that is displayed is a list of applications that run automatically with windows. Remove the check so that the application does not run automatically.
Applications that are not essential facilities such as auto update / registration of programs such as printer, Adobe Acrobat, CorelDraw, and other. In addition, following a few applications that are frequently joined together to run windows, but not so important:
* Adobe Acrobat SpeedLauncher
* Alcmtr (Realtek Azalia Audio - Event Monitor)
* EPSON Status Monitor (if using the printer, like HP, Canon and usually also have other)
* RTHDCPL (Realtek HD Audio Control Panel)
* Skytel (Realtek Voice Manager)
* SunJavaUpdSched (Java (TM) Platform SE binary)
* And others
This tip should also be accelerating the process of booting the computer. If still slow, try baga article also overcome Tips podići / computer is slow loading
Attention ..! Do not sign the check (check) in the 2 components that are up, the userinit.exe and explorer.exe, because the windows can not have come in (login) .. If this happens, then when booting (after restart) and press the button-press F8 until the booting options appear, select next to Safe Mode. Then login with the user, such as that used previously. Once signed in safe mode, open / run Autoruns again and enable the above 2 components, and then restart back.
3. Turning off the Indexing Service
Indexing service is a facility to create the windows and update the index file / folder periodically, so that when using the Search facility in the explorer, the search can be faster. Sometimes this feature often makes a slow PC performance, especially if you rarely use the facilities Search / Find. To disable aktifkannya through the following steps:
1. Go to Control Panel> Add or Remove Programs
2. Select Add / Remove Windows Components
3. Hlangkan check the Indexing Service just click next
4. Wait until the process is complete
Maih clear that many other tips to improve the performance of Windows [XP], but at least the first two steps, will feel the difference.
With the standard specification computers at this time, to show the windows [Xp] should be in full less than a minute or thereabouts. But if it appear more than 2 minutes, or stop long before the desktop (icon, start menu and other) to appear full, there is the possibility that its problematic windows.There are some things that we can check to find out this problem. Fundamental things that need to be examined is what the program that runs when windows appear. To know about it can check in with tools like Autoruns. View tab in the log, especially the HKLM \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Run up down.
That there is a list of programs that will run concurrently with the windows. If there are any programs that are not known, suspicious or strange, uncheck check disampingnya, which means that the program will not run when windows start. Or just ask for a program update or other applications that are not so important, it removed the sign.
Once finished, and then Restart the Computer, and check whether the loading is still slow. If you still need to slow the system is checked with the following steps:
* Open the Event Viewer (Control Panel> Administrative Tools> Event Viewer)
* After the show, from the list on the left side of the Event Viewer (Local) select System, will display information / messages on the right (Informations, Error and warning)
* Remove the message that, by choosing the menu Action> Clear All Events. When shown a confirmation will be saved, just click yes to save all messages. Once the list is empty, Restart Computer
* When loading up to leave windows appear full, when you're done, check back the Event Viewer System (as above)
* Try observed, especially the Error or Warning. Check waktuya column (Time), if the time difference between the message with the message d over far enough (probably more than 1 or 2 minutes), then the problem there. Double click to find out the problem
If we can understand the problems / deskripsinya then immediately try to overcome. But some may be difficult to read the message, let alone have information that is strange. If such notice or record a message that there is, then we get to the experts (need to connect to the Internet) is to open this address: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp

USB Flash drive (Flashdisk) suddenly not detected / error
0 Commented : Post by : PazSt_Ft2K At : 2:37 PMRecently I Flashdisk USB 2 GB size that is suddenly not detected, in Windows Explorer only detect Removable Drive, when trying to open the message only appears that we are prompted to enter the disk drive or a message appears Please insert a disk into drive M: , when Flashdisk already installed.
Also surprised to see it, does not seem to remember earlier in the loose by force. The only really used for copying files from CD to 2 laptop chip friend.
I simply try to check Flashdisk, because the data contain a rather large, and some quite important. Following the steps that I can usually try and solve the problem.
1. Try in the computer / USB port other
Sometimes a problem like this only happens on our own course, so it needs to be tested in another computer. Because here there is a laptop computer and a friend, then try to direct me there, but naught, but only detect as a Removable Drive, so the message is opened only appear as above. Similarly when the tide in the other USB port.
2. Format in windows Explorer
Actually do not want in the format, because it is concerned with data that is in it. But as in some computer can not be detected and Alhamdulillah some data is still stored on the hard drive, I try to format with the standard Windows format. the result is still the same, also have not succeeded.
3. Using the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool
Previous two steps do not work, then simply open a browser and search for information via google. Read in some places that some people can overcome problems such as this by using this free software, HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool. Although the specific design for a USB phone, but this can also be used for the other.
After I try, even the software that it does not detect the Flashdisk, so it is not successful. If you want to try Download the HP USB Format tool (1.98 MB) can be read in PCWorld
4. Try with Ubuntu Linux 8:10
The way I try the next install Flashdisk in the Linux operating system Ubuntu 8:10. With this CD we can run Ubuntu directly from CD (without installing the Hardisk).
Once signed in to Ubuntu, it detected a Flahsdisk, but accompanied with a sign that there is something wrong. And indeed, when trying to open it does not respond there is nothing, even when trying to format also can not.
5. Through Disk Management
Back to the windows, trying to find more information through the internet, get information to format the disk through Management (Right-click My Computer> Manage, and select Disk Management). This also did not work out, then another way (through the Disk Management) to change the Drive letter Flashdisk, the original M: replace the other. In the Forum are many owners who write flash that it was successful.
So I try, with the right-click Drive F: (my flash), the menu and then select Change Drive Letter and Path for M: I try to drive X. after that the windows had a Disk Error message appears, but the drive can be changed into X:, then I try to open it. This is still not successful.
6. Utilizing Flashdisk Warranty
Because the various ways previously not work out, I finally try searching Nota Flashdisk this purchase. There Lifetime written warranty, so I finally decided to return to its stores, hoping to direct the new change.
In fact the store does not directly, but the company sent to the author, the new holiday and a new process early in January. Indeed, he will be replaced new, but new petengahan around January. It seems there is no other options that are better, so I just agree.
In fact there are still other ways, such as in the default format with the software if there is a flash, although it is also a small possibility of success if the various steps above does not work.
Hopefully this experience can be useful for the reading, and indeed we should not rely only on the flash storage for data is very important, because it could suddenly flash damaged or die.
Prevent the virus from active autorun.inf with USB Firewall
0 Commented : Post by : PazSt_Ft2K At : 1:26 PMAs already known, the spread of the virus comes from the majority of flash or other USB-based media. One way to prevent this facility off the windows autorun. But for those who want the other way or you want to add more secure so that software can use this free, USB Firewall.
Net-Applications made in this studio, and even simple, but according to his name, is able to prevent the program running without us from the media such as flash.
USB Firewall will block all mem-virus and other programs that try to run away through Flashdisk, when we install Flashdisk on the computer. This application will run in the background (back) and will immediately give warning / alert if any application is running through autorun. Next on the program before we can stop and delete the file.
Unlike anti-virus, firewall does not need the USB update, not because it detects the virus but triggered the spread of the virus detected. USB Firewall can also be used to clean the other disk partition (eg drive D: E: and other) from the autorun applications that take advantage of this.
Operation
After the install program, the application will run in the background. If you have flash or USB device that is installed and the file autorun.inf or have programs that want to run without us, then the program will be active and to inform users. Then we can select the option / menu that has been provided.
-> Show Autorun.inf button, to display the contents of the file autorun.inf. So that we can actually know this file will run the application. About the autorun.inf.
-> The Delete key to delete the file autorun.inf and other files that can be associated with it.
-> Cancel button, to ignore the process and leave if there is a file / application that will run through autorun.inf
-> Minimize button, to return the program running in the backround (behind), appears after we click the Delete key or Cancel
USB Firewall also provides menu / Clean All button to make a Partition scan and delete autorun file, such as those in disk drives (the drive to clean-drive the other from the autorun file)
USB Firewall 1.1.3 can be obtained / downloaded at the following link: USB Firewall 1.1.3 (4.6 MB).
For most of us (computer users) may not be a foreign term to the Safe Mode. This feature is available in the Windows operating system, for different purposes. For example, to check or repair damage to the windows system, remove virus, examine the damage and the other driver.
How to enable Safe Mode and what you can when we are already entering Safe Mode?
What is Safe Mode?
Safe mode option is the choice of start-up windows that its main function to handle if there is a problem with the system. Windows will run with the minimal condition, only the files and drivers that are important in the switch, including any additional software, most software is not activated. Then when it is signed in safe mode, it will appear any posts "Safe Mode" at the top of the corner windows.
How to Log In Safe Mode
One way that can be used in almost all windows systems including Windows Vista is by pressing the F8 key when booting windows are (or when the computer starts up and show information Memory / hardware). After that will appear several menu options booting the computer, as follows:
Some explanation of Advande Options Menu
In addition to the menu to select Safe mode, there are many other menus that can be selected. Here are some explanation of the menu-the menu:
* Safe Mode, this option means that Windows will run only the minimum files and drivers, including software-software.
* Safe Mode with Networking, this option such as safe mode with the drivers so that we can utilize Network (Networking)
* Safe Mode with Command Prompt, the same as safe mode only program Command Prompt / MS-DOS Prompt (cmd.exe) will be activated immediately (not explorer)
* Enable Boot Logging, windows will create a file Ntbtlog.txt, when start-up and start-up information will be stored in the file. This file is usually stored in the root system, for example, drive C:
* Enable VGA Mode. Windows will be running with a minimum display modes such as 640 or 800 × 480 × 600. Usually used to check for damage or error [driver] VGA (graphic display windows).
* Last Known Good Configuration, running windows registry using the information that was saved when the last shutdown. Use one if we change the system configuration, or when the windows failed to enter the main display.
Some of the benefits of the Safe Mode
* Uninstall the software before the computer hangs, error and so forth. Sometimes after a certain program installed in the windows problem, so if you can not uninstall in normal mode through the use Safe Mode.
* Disabling of a particular program or application. To facilitate the entry into Safe Mode, can use the Autoruns application that can be obtained free from SysInternals. This technique can also be used to check the computer loading slow. If no Autoruns, can type in msconfig in the Run menu, to run the System Configuration Utility, if it has been selected to appear through the Startup tab.
* Checking the problems with the graphics display windows (VGA). When the display windows problem, can check in by selecting the "Enable VGA Mode", if successful, and do not see the problems, potential problems in the VGA driver.
* Delete the file / virus that can not be through the normal mode. Some antivirus can still run in safe mode, and tried to scan through safe mode. Sometimes the virus is not running in safe mode, although you can also walk / atif although in Safe Mode.
* Running System Restore if previously activated, so that the condition of the system can be restored to previous conditions.
* Running various features of the Control Panel, Administrative tools, and so forth.
* Open the Registry Editor, either to check or to edit some of the contents.
Safe Mode is a standard feature of Windows and sometimes quite useful for some problems such as over, although sometimes such as viruses can also be active in this mode, so use the safe mode is not enough.
