These displays are helpful for diagnosing what in a computer may be preventing it from properly booting. For motherboards that do not have a port 80 display listening to the beep code can help identify the error.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~4/XjsFRhvaMUg" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~3/XjsFRhvaMUg/port80.htm http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/port80.htm Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:34:31 MST http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/p/port80.htm Short for super input/output or Super I/O, SIO is an integrated circuit on a computer motherboard that handles the slower and less prominent input/output devices shown below. When the Super input/output was first introduced in the late 1980's it was found on an expansion card, later this chip was embedded into the motherboard and communicated over the ISA bus. As ISA began to no longer be used with computers SIO communicated over the PCI bus. Today, super I/O communicates through the Southbridge and is still used with computers in order to support older legacy devices.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~4/U08s-r201w4" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~3/U08s-r201w4/sio.htm http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/s/sio.htm Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:34:31 MST http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/s/sio.htm A computer's power button, reset button, and LED's found on the front bezel of a computer connects to the system panel connectors on the computers motherboard using system panel cables. The System panel cables, as shown in the picture to the right, are two wire cables that are color coded to help identify where they connect to the motherboard system panel connector. The black or white wire is the ground (GND) wire and the colored wire is the powered wire. The cables, colors, and connections vary depending on the computer case and motherboard you have, however, will often include the cables mentioned below.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~4/uzxehtoshgA" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~3/uzxehtoshgA/spc.htm http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/s/spc.htm Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:34:31 MST http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/s/spc.htm Gentoo is a version of the Linux operating system, based on the Portage package management system and is available for free as open source software.

The HKLM root key contains settings that relate to the local computer. In Microsoft Windows XP and prior, there are four main subkeys under HKLM: SAM, SECURITY, SOFTWARE, SYSTEM. There is also a fifth subkey, titled HARDWARE, which is created on-the-fly and is not stored in a registry file. In Windows Vista and 7, a sixth subkey is present, titled BCD.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~4/nIu9zbRh3qM" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/LatestNewPagesOnComputerHope/~3/nIu9zbRh3qM/hklm.htm http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/h/hklm.htm Thu, 09 Feb 2012 03:34:31 MST http://www.computerhope.com/jargon/h/hklm.htm Plop is a boot manager program, allowing users to boot to a number of different operating systems. Users have the option of loading the boot manager from a floppy disk, CD or a network, or it can be installed and run from a hard disk.
