How to Fix System Blue Screen Error

The system blue screen error (commonly referred to as the Blue Screen of Death or BSOD) is a nickname for the blue color that showing on the screen when there is a critical error inside the windows operating system kernel. If you see the error message featuring a solid blue background that means your windows has encountered a critical error that causes your operating system to become temporarily unstable or unresponsive.

For protecting the operating system from damage, Windows responds by stopping all tasks on your computer, and indicating the problem in the BSOD error.

Asus UL50: world’s first 12 hour laptop

Asus is on a roll today. It’s just unveiled the Asus UL50 ultraportable laptop, with non-netbook specs but a very netbook stamina: it’s good for 12 hours of juice at a time. Read on for all the info.

Asus has just outed its new line up of portable PCs, and top of the range is the tasty 15.6-inch Asus UL50 series. The likely UK bound Asus UL50 weights in at just 2.1kg, but will go for up to half a day with an 8-cell battery bolted in, plus 4GB of RAM, an Intel CULV 1.3GHz processor and 250/320/500GB hard drive options.

We’ve got our eyes on the higher end Asus UL50VG model though, toting up to 8 gigs of RAM and dedicated NVIDIA graphics that can be flicked off to save battery life.

OK, so epic battery life is something every netbook maker promises these days, and Nokia’s even claiming the full 12 with the Booklet 3G, but the Asus UL50 is a full blown laptop, with screen size, respectable RAM and optical drive to prove it.

We’re chasing UK details for the Asus UL50 line now, but expect to see them appear in stores along with Windows 7 next month.

Intel's consumer-friendly Nehalem chips arrive early?

Intel's long-awaited consumer-level Nehalem-based processors and motherboards are already available in Asia in "small volumes", ahead of their expected launch early next month.

That is, if a report by the Taiwanese market-watchers at DigiTimes is to be believed.

DigiTimes reports that unnamed "market sources" have told them that the socket-1156 processors - the Core i5-750, Core i7-860, and Core i7-870 - are available in "some retail channels in Taiwan and China," along with motherboards based on the new P-55 chipset.

The sources report that the chips are priced at about $207 for the Core i5-750, $303 for the Core i7-860, and $576 for the Core i7-870, and that that all three chips have an 8MB L3 Cache, a TDP of 95 watts, and support dual-channel DDR3 memory. Reg sources also report a variety of TDPs and other details of future i5s and i3s, set to appear in early 2010.

According DigiTimes, the new P-55-based motherboards are being produced by Asustek Computer, Gigabyte Technology, and Micro-Star International. Asustek's range from $166 to $282, Gigabyte's from $158 to $270, and Micro-Star's from $152 to $243.

An Intel spokesperson declined to comment on the DigiTimes report, saying only that: "The industry is extremely excited about the Lynnfield platform but the products have not yet launched." The spokesperson added: "We don’t tend to comment on speculation-site articles." ®

Right now its been working fine and running on two memory because we thought of the old memory was defective.

Asus UK Releases EEE PC T101H Tablet Specifications

Asus has quietly unveiled the final specifications of the much awaited EEE PC T101H, a tablet computer from the Taiwanese manufacturer which should appear in UK within the next few weeks.

The T101H is likely to be one of the most disruptive netbooks launched by Asus. It will come with a 3G Module, a digital TV tuner, Bluetooth, 802.11n WiFi, integrated GPS (yep!) and a webcam.

But, the most notable feature is its touchscreen display, a 10.1-inch LED backlight multi touch model which can be rotated to convert the netbook into a tablet and has a resolution of 1024x600 WSVGA resolution. Note that Asus will be using a resistive rather than a capacitive screen, probably to keep prices low.

The 3.3 pounds T101H will ship with an Atom Z520 processor running at 1.33GHz, 1GB RAM, a 16GB SSD device and a battery that can last up to 5.4 hours. Asus will also provide with 20GB worth of online storage for 18 months.

There are chances that Asus may delay the device until Windows 7 gets released because Windows XP Home wouldn't really cut the mustard.
