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.

The system blue screen error was much popular and appears more frequently in the earlier versions of windows then today's XP/Vista operating systems.

In Windows XP/Vista the default settings when the system blue screen occurred is to automatically restart your computer.

But to fix this BSOD error, you need first to know what the error message is about.
By disabling the automatic restart feature, you will be able to see the error message itself, which indicates the appropriate problem.

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." ®

ECS motherboard BSOD problem SOLVED

Hello Everyone,

            Do you own an ECS motherboard? I have been doing all possible solutions from buying a new memory RAM, using a motherboard checker to the point of removing all peripherals using only the hard disk drive but still the BSOD still comes up when my last resort was to upgrade its BIOS firmware ans so there it was solved from an older version to a new one. 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.

How to Resolve Missing Realtek Audio Driver Issues

There are certain things you might come to expect when you purchase a new computer, and with the new all-in-one solutions they have integrated into the new systems, this means a new level of ease and reliability that you couldn't get from clunky fix-it-yourself solutions of the past. Of course, more and more people nowadays prefer to build their own rigs, meaning they have better control over the specifications of their own machines. This is common amongst gamers and hardcore PC enthusiasts, who enjoy disassembling and assembling the computer and adding new parts to ramp up their systems.

The continuous journey of improving their configuration, combined with the fact that technology never stops ('evolving' every 6 months), means there will always be something new and good in the market. But this article will discuss more on the new all-in-one motherboards that have everything on board, and this will focus more on the multimedia and sound aspect of it. If you do purchase a motherboard, more than likely you will notice that the onboard multimedia supplier would either be AC'97, or the most recent Realtek audio drivers that come coupled with most of the major motherboard suppliers. This is an entry and base level audio chip solution that is good enough for most multimedia and audio needs.

But of course, many use the PC and hook it up to their plasma TVs or LCDs, most of which have more recently sported the HDMI and digital video-in, which could be connected from the back end of a graphics card. As a multimedia solution for a home entertainment theatre, Realtek's audio driver may not be enough. Focusing more on Realtek - one of the more common problems people face when they purchase a motherboard with onboard audio is that they drivers would sometimes be missing. In this case, one of the more common methods to resolve the issue would simply be to reinstall the motherboard drivers that come with the CD, and they would normally have the onboard audio drivers in the medium.

If you cannot find them there, then try to contact the supplier or the manufacturer's website and download the driver from them. They usually have the most current updates for their motherboards' on-board systems and sometimes, you might need to flash the bios to complete a full system update to your entire rig. It could be also a compatibility issue if Windows fails to spot the onboard audio drivers, which would mean you need to either do a clean install of everything, or Google the problem online.

Normally, you would find the problem and its accompanying solution in the tech or help forums in either the manufacturer's website or some of the third party credible tech-help website. Most of the time, your problems are common problems, so there are plenty of options to go through before sending the hardware back to the store. These are just some of the ways you can resolve missing Realtek audio driver issues, and as you can see, the solutions can be pretty simple and straightforward.

Is there a site to download a virus free audio drivers for laptop and desktop audio drivers?

Laptop motherboard

A question that regularly crops up on the internet is that of how to repair Motherboards. The types of questions generated on the various forums and e-mails indicate that the problems arise in computers of all leading brands and also unbranded ones. There are innumerable methods of repair suggested on the internet. Most of the repairs of bad motherboards follow the method of trial and error and are not very reliable in terms of results. The decision to repair a motherboard is not for the week at heart. It can be time consuming and risky. It can take considerable time and, due to the fragile parts, you could break something. If you bend a motherboard to much it can crack or break making it useless.

Computers show the effects of usage by how slow they work. One cause is the amount of dust that collects on the motherboard. This dust affects the working of the motherboard and can make them overheat and fail. One step to motherboard repair is to remove the dust. This can be done by using a small vacuum cleaner or canned air to remove the dust as much as possible.

With motherboard problems It is very important to know the components that make up the motherboard before ever venturing to repair a bad motherboard. The motherboard is the main board that contains the central circuit board of the computer. All other components and peripherals are plugged in or connected to the motherboard. One of the main functions of the motherboard is to relay information between them. The motherboard houses the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) which is simple software run by the computer designed to function when the computer is switched on.

To repair motherboards you should know that Chipsets in the motherboard are those that form an interface between two main parts of the computer, the front side bus and the peripheral buses or the main memory. There are some memory chips that are extremely non volatile and it contains the firmware of the system or what is popularly known as the BIOS. Motherboards also contain a clock generator which is responsible to produce the system clock signal that can help in synchronizing various components. The cause of a bad motherboard could be in any of the components. It is best that the job is assigned to an experienced and technically qualified person or a reputable dealer or the manufacturer of the board.

It is mostly better if you replace the bad motherboard with a new one. It is extremely expensive to repair an old motherboard. You should compare the price of repair to the purchase of a new computer.

I have'nt tried to repair a laptop motherboard is it still the same as a desktop computer?

The breaking news of Michael Jackson's death on Thursday triggered an alert at Google over a potential malware attack.

As reports began to circulate, first of Jackson's hospitalization, then of his death, some people searching for news on Google found themselves looking at a page that said: "We're sorry, but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application."

The page asked users to enter a Captcha code in order to continue their searches.

"When you get huge volumes of searches, an interstitial page comes up to make sure we aren't coming under attack," a spokesman for the company told ZDNet UK on Friday. "The volumes searching for Michael Jackson during the night were such that a page did come up, and it slowed things down for a short period."

Asked how the volume of searches compared with other breaking-news events, Google's spokesman described the spike as "volcanic" — the term used in the Google Trends labs project to define the highest level of search volumes.

"This is one of the biggest [spikes] we've seen in recent times," the spokesman said.

Do they have network security over this kind of attack?

ECS motherboard problems

Lately I have been having problems with my ECS socket478 motherboard I already tried to test it using the PC analyzer card but it only displays a hex code of 26 that means to check my video card, memory, bios. Already done that and still did not work for me anyone knows what could be the motherboards problem?

Asus' super motherboard tested

MOTHERBOARDS.ORG has a go at the Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer mobo. It supports Core i7 or Xeon (Bloomfield) processors and has seven (!) PCIe x16 slots. Octo-or-more-core GPU processing is possible with this monster, as is SAS storage. This is a $500 motherboard, after all.

Tech Gage is testing the Asus Eee PC 1008HA “Seashell” netbook. Glossy and sleek, the Seashell attempts to make the netbook as clean looking as possible, and nails it. As a mate of mine would put it “frickin’ cool”.

Driver Heaven tests MSI’s GX 723 gaming notebook. Slightly underpowered compared to some gaming notebooks out there, the GX 723 is a 17-incher (1680x1050) with a P8600 Core 2 Duo processor 4GB or DDR2-800 and 500GB of storage. It’s driven by a Geforce 130M mobile GPU… *cough*. Rucksack and gaming mouse included.

As Ion-based devices start flooding the market, Benchmark Reviews takes the time to test the Zotac IONITX-A-U Atom N330 WiFi N Motherboard. 100% passively cooled, this DIY kit will get you started on your HTPC project.

Earphone Audio Processors are a bit new to us, but Thrusted Reviews, well got a Tension Labs EAP 03 Earphone Audio Processor to test. This is essentially a headphone amp that plugs in the middle that costs an arm and a leg.

Hot Hardware got some (video) hands-on time with a load of Nvidia kit, namely Lenovo’s S12 Atom+Ion netbook. Tegra also makes a showing in case you just can’t help yourself…

Yes, Core 2 Quad is going the way of the dodo, but in the meantime some nice chaps at Tom’s Hardware found the time to do some memory scaling tests on the processors. So if you aren’t planning on moving to Core i7 anytime soon…

TechARP updates its Desktop CPU comparison guide to revision 7.1. It now covers over 700 processors, which is quite the feat.

German site Technic 3D is testing Scythe’s new Kamariki-series power supply, the KMRK4-P-650A. “P” is for plug-in, meaning it’s all modular. Michael couldn’t have been more impressed with it.

Dexgo, another German site *sigh* has something of a treat for overclockers: Bitspower and Koolance duke it out in liquid cooling systems for the Asus Rampage II Extreme.

Overclockers Club tests the budget-ish ECS X58B-A motherboard. Stock performance is on par with the Tier One brands, but overclocking falls pitifully behind.

Tbreak got some new SSDs in the lab. Enter the OCZ Apex and the Imation M-series SSDs. These two face off in a battle of the wimps (‘cos they get compared to an almighty Intel X25-M SSD).

Finally, Tech Reviews in the UK tests the Coolermaster Hyper N520 PSU. This allows dual-fan operation and great cooling performance. Noise might be an issue, but that is the price - a low one, actually - to pay.

Im having problems with my intel motherboard how do I properly troubleshoot my motherboard?
