Common hardware failure symptoms and solutions



> Computer freezes randomly, mouse will not move...
Hard drive fails itself, the drive is either having a defective needle or sector it will be stuck on... this drive needs to be replaced before it stucks completely, it is recommended to do a back up as soon as possible and then check the drive with a testing program to look for bad sectors

> Computer keeps booting with system check up...
Disk has many bad sectors, needle is either defective and making scratches on the drive, or is not in a decent quality anymore, windows will replace your faulty sectors and try to repair... however, it is best to back up and plan for a newer hard drive. as this drive may fail completely and you may have lost your data, this can also be tested with a testing program.

> Bluescreens "fault in non paged area"
Usually these bluescreens appoint one or more bad memory modules, you can check this with a memtester and see if you get errors... if you do get errors and have more then one slots occupied, test one by one and see if it works by then

> Boot, but no screen
This also can be a common memory issue... as when the PC boots, the first possible data gets sent from bios to memory to provide image to your monitor, in this case you will have to replace this memory with Modules that you are sure that are working... as this usually means all modules are dead.

> Blurry screen/floating pixels
Graphics card... your graphics card may be getting too hot and may need more cooling, also check the capacitors of the card, these may be damaged, if this is an active cooling... try to see if it is dusty, if it is, blow it out, if this is passive cooling, please consult your technician.

> Green dots on screen in movies/Black area
Usual graphics card failure oncoming. check the capacitors of the card, also try and see if your connector is plugged in correctly if you have not used the screws on the connector

> PC boots but long beep and two short
This is usually the sign of a dead graphics card... if this computer has an onboard graphics card, your mainboard may be dead as well, although, you can try with an add-on video card, if you are already using a addon card, you may be able to use your onboard graphics card that is attached to the mainboard. 

> Random shutdown when playing games/ working at computer... restarts after shut down all most instantly
Overheating problem. check your cooling, replace cooling paste or check your overclock settings if you have overclocked your CPU

> PC does not boot at all.
Try a new powersupply, this may be the defective product.

Changing Your Local Drives Icons




Changing your local drive icons:


1.First you need icon files. Icon files are in this way "*.ico”, like "win.ico"
Notice: to find icon files on your hard drive press start, then search and to the question “What do you want to search for?"choose "All files and folders”, now in the first box, type "*.ico"-----activating "search hidden files and folders" in "more advanced options" may help you to find more icon files.
Notice: Some programs like Ulead PhotoImpact can save a picture as an icon file.
Notice: Saving pictures as "x.ico" with "paint"can not be used for local drive icons


2. Now open RUN and type "regedit"---a new window will appear


3. Follow this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >SOFTWARE >Microsoft >Windows >currentversion >Explorer


4. Now if you see a key, named “DriveIcons” you don't need to do step 5, otherwise you must do it.
Notice: registry keys are case sensitive, capitalized letters must be written capitalized.


5. Right click on the Explorer key and choose New >Key, then instead of its default name type "DriveIcons”, then press enter.
Notice: You can also change the name of a key by right clicking on its name and choose "Rename"


6. Now right click on "DriveIcons" and choose New >Key, then instead of the default key name, type your partition letter, for example "C".


7. Right click on the key you have made the step before. (We made "C"), then choose New >Key, for its name type "DefaultIcon"(this will be used for its icon).Again right click on "C" and choose New >Key, rename its name to "DefaultLable” (this will change partition name).


8. First, click on the "defaultIcon", then in the right section of the window double click on the "Default”. A new window will appear and you must type the icon location you want to use for this partition. For example your icon is in your my pictures folder (and we think you have installed windows on drive "D") and your picture name is "win.ico". Look at the address bar of the window; you see "D:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My documents\ My Pictures. ------- Copy this address in the box of the registry window that you opened it with double clicking on the "Default” Key, then
in front of this address click and put a"\"sign. Then type the icon name, for example "win.ico". Now press OK.


9.if you want to change the drive name ,click on the "DefaultLable" and from the right section of the window, double click on the “Default" and in the window box, type the name you want to use for this drive and click "OK".(i.e. “My first local drive”)
Notice: You can also change a partition name by right clicking on it in the My Computer window and choose rename.


10. Close any open windows, and then open your My Computer window. Your icon must now be seen on drive "C". Otherwise a restart is needed.
Notice: You can do these changes on any partitions you want. Just from the step 5, you can add another Partition letter and continue these steps.
