Pc freeze while accessing My Documents

2011-05-06T20:59:00.000+08:00

Problem: You pc hang/freeze everytime you access My Documents folder

Resolution: Assuming you pc is clean from any virus, try this trick go to safemode and one by one delete files on the my documents folder (a corrupt file is causing the freezing in my case a downloaded babyran installer)and run windows on normal mode,., or you can just delete the files at once if you are not saving any..

network problem

2011-02-09T21:20:00.000+08:00

while accessing shared files on the network the error appears:

"not enough server storage"

in my case the culprit

Acronis Home Edition

uninstalling the software solved the error..

First Ever Mother Board Repair/Resurrection

2010-12-10T10:21:00.001+08:00

Yesterday i created a new rig, by combining remnants of a defective pc..an acer aspire pc died, it turned out the motherboard can no longer be saved, because it has too many bloated (bulging) capacitors, a forum inform me that 5+ bloated capacitor in a board is no longer a viable candidate for resurrection, so i took the parts that are still working fine (processor, memory and hard disk and the psu and locate my old emaxx board.

i had an emaxx board that went died also last month with one bloated capacitor near the ram slot. after observing the capacitors (its specification..cf, watts etc..) i notice that the cap is the same in specification on my dead asus video card..after researching more, i know i have a big chance of restoring this board and pair it with the remaining parts of the acer rig..

my buddy JR volunteered to do the soldering (next time i will do this, as i yet to experience it)..hehe

i had to jump start the mobo (without a casing; first time also) and it booted up!! yeah!!haha

but the temperature was too high that the system automatically shuts off..

i had to purchase a cheap hsf to check if the mobo would be stable, and last night bebeh was able to install all needed software to make the new rig work, and no single restart ever occured so i guess my emaxx is back!

BSOD on APCI.sys

2010-11-25T10:39:00.000+08:00

Problem: BSOD and a long list of technical error with APCI.sys on the end..when you boot on safemode the computer hangs on MUP.sys

there are lot of possible errors (hardware and software alike)but in my case a corrupted driver system,

here is what fixed my problem:

1. boot on xp installation disc (make sure to set bios to boot on cd/dvd)
2. choose repair console (pressing r after the disc installation boots completely)
3. choose what xp installation you want to repair (normally just press 1) leave or press enter if you don't have a password on the password part.
4. type chkdsk /p /r (it will take for a while to perform, mine took 15 minutes- indicating a lot errors on my system files)
5. type exit on the command prompt after the operation.

kukram (DDR2)

2010-11-13T12:10:00.001+08:00

i was forced to buy an unknown brand, because i was lazy to look for other shops..hehe they gave me this kukram (made in hongkong) way cheaper than known brand like kingston, i had to upgrade bebeh's rig to make it run more smoother, so i took the risk..

guess what? after merely 5 hours of using it., it broke down..:(

in the end i replace it with a more known brand, (dynet)

Resident Evil After Life..

2010-11-01T13:02:00.000+08:00

Very entertaining from the start..bit off in the final battle though (i notice recently from the likes of clash of the titans) that the last (supposed to be) climactic end seems hanging in excitement ant thrill..

3 IDIOTS

2010-10-01T12:13:00.000+08:00

contrary to its title the film is brilliant, the singing and dancing scenes though will have me needing more time getting used to, from what I understand it is very common to Bollywood films actually this is only the second bollywood that i have seen (first - slum dog millionaire 9/10), and time and time again it has proven that the best and essential part of the complex process of making a great movie is the story itself.

9.5/10

Get Him to the Greek

2010-09-30T20:44:00.001+08:00

raunchy comedy, i believe it is a pre-quel or sequel or spin-off to the movie forgetting sarah marshall (7/10)..quite funny at times but i find it more dramatic towards the in..hahaha

my rating

7/10

Practical Bday Present

2010-09-25T17:03:00.000+08:00

Bebeh gave me some treats (not actually a fun treat because of the pain and annoying noise and feeling of drilling your tooth)..hehe but it is a very practical one..

oral hygiene that we usually ignore (for me its the financial block that stumbles my regular visit to the dentist. but i hope this will be a start of a regular visit to save my few teeth that are still surviving..hehe i already lost 5 molars..hope the casualty ends..

thank you bebeh! love you much

Epson T10 orange led blinking error (CISS)

2010-09-21T16:55:00.001+08:00

solutions: check the cables or the hose of the CISS it might be causing blockage or interference in
the movement of the printhead section.

re-seat the cartridges

clean the printer's roller if possible use blowers or if you are familiar with disassembling the printer to see clearly if any mechanical parts are malfunctioning or have physical defects

check for paper bits and other foreign matters

Iron Man 2

2010-09-17T23:58:00.004+08:00

still a very entertaining movie but this will go down to my list of inferior sequels (in relation to their predecessor or first direct production)..

7/10

Robin Hood (2010)

2010-09-09T11:44:00.000+08:00

They tried to make a real hero out of myth/legend and for some fans they paid it dearly.

To me it was alright to relate a legend into a more realistic approach. I find the movie entertaining and hold a grip of some bits of reality.

More real and more entertaining.

Canon Pixma IP 1980 blinking error

2010-09-06T19:11:00.000+08:00

Problem: the orange (amber) led (resume buttom) blinks 5 times then the green blinks [5-1] interval..

Cause: one of the cartridge(usually the color one no.41) is causing the error

Resolution: change the cartridge (buy a new one)..

happen to me twice already..both instance the color is at fault

+ note i refill the cartridge hence the problem arise, as you cannot refill the cartridge in infinite mode..
