Is 1.6 giga hertz bad?

It depends on the type of activities you want to accomplish. For example, if you want to browse the net, check your email, play a few simple games than 1.6GHz is more than enough. However, if you are using a heavy duty imaging software, editing video or playing a high end game than it may or not be enough, but it also depends on other computer specifications such as the amount of RAM you have to the power of your GPU.

What is a third party module?

A third-party module is a software component or library developed by an external entity, rather than the original creators of a software platform or application. These modules are designed to extend or enhance the functionality of existing systems, allowing developers to integrate additional features without having to build them from scratch. Common examples include plugins, extensions, or packages used in programming languages and frameworks. Using third-party modules can save time and resources while promoting collaboration within the software development community.

What is KB2524375?

KB2524375 is a recently (as of April 2011) released downloadable (from the Microsoft website) update. It is related to a Microsoft Security Advisory dealing with nine fraudulent digital certificates issued by Comodo, a certification authority present in the Trusted Root Certification Authorities Store on all supported versions of Microsoft Windows. Comodo advised Microsoft on March 16, 2011 that nine certificates had been signed on behalf of a third party without sufficiently validating its identity. These certificates may be used to spoof content, perform phishing attacks, or perform man-in-the-middle attacks against all Web browser users including users of Internet Explorer. It is suspected, but not yet confirmed, that a nation-state was involved in the compromise of the certificates. See the attached link for more information.

What are five preventive meatanace in a PC workshop?

There are many things you should do for preventive maintanance.

See computer maintanance can help save hundreds of dollars every year by just doing simple little things.

1. Defrag your hard drive... Yup there are freebie software on the internet that can do it with a click of a button and pretty much what a defrag does its re-arrange your files in order and puts them in the correct place this makes the hard drive work less and last longer thus prevents any hard drive issues.

2. Clean the dust silent killer.... Heat and Dust are the sworn enemy of a computer.

The dust accumilates and clogs the fans and heat sinks in turn the computer parts start getting real hot to a poin that the motherboard or cpu or even the PSU may fry.

By simple opening up the computer and clean it all the way trough you can eliminate the heat and thus prevent your computer from destroying itself early.

3. Thermal Paste.... The thermal past seats between the heat sink and the CPU acts like a conductor of heat and transfers it to the heat sink the CPU is constantly getting electricity and in turns creates heat well that heat needs to go somewhere or else the CPU will fry... By simply re pasting some thermal paste removing the old paste and adding new one it can help your CPU last longer.

4.Spyware/adware/..... DOing a virus scanner once a week can prevent major problems in regards to virus affecting a computer system. YOu dont have to spend alot of money buying virus removing software to catch them all. In reality there are many free virus scanners like malwarebytes or superantispyware or search and destroy that are free and can get the job done.

5.Updates.... Update once a month or at least check once a month for updates to make sure your computer its up to date.

Why would a brand new Custom built PC randomly freeze or reboot itself?

This is almost certainly a hardware problem rather than software. I would remove all cards and devices plugged into the computer. If that stops the freezing, test it again after adding each card. That should determine which device is causing it.

If it didn't stop freezing, the basic parts of the computer must be tested. If there are multiple memory cards, try removing all but one and testing. Swap the CPU with a similar one and see if the problem goes away. Power supply. Motherboard.

RealPlayer can play:

RM, RA, Ram, RT, RP, PNG, Gif, JPG, MP3, SWF, SMIL, SMI, WAV, AIFF, MPG, MPEG, AVI, ASF, MID, MIDI, RMI.

Quicktime can play all these plus many more. I would never recommend RealPlayer to anyone and never use it. I use Quicktime.

How do you upgrade my laptop speed?

To prevent and stop computer crashing, you have to avoid overheating. We all know that if the computer is being running too long, the CPU will become very hot. Hence, some of the hardware will become too hot and fail to respond, which results in the unexpected computer crashes. So do remember to let your computer have a break if it is running for a long time and place your computer into a well-ventilated room, and check your fan is always working well.

Secondly, guard your PC from spyware attacks. Spyware refers to any technology that is specifically developed to silently collect your personal or private information for illegal profits. Once your computer has been compromised by spyware, it starts to damage your system and try to gather your personal or commercial information from the disk and then transfer it to pre-defined remote servers. In addition, spyware can secretly track your online activities and browser behaviors for obtaining your login credentials to online bank account or credit card account. You should not miss this aspect when trying to fix computer freezing or suffering from some other errors like serms.dll error or error 80028EA1.

Also, you can re-install any software causing the computer crashing problem. The main cause of errors is going to be through the "software" of your PC. This is basically all the programs that your system will be using to run, and will likely be the fact that a specific application will be causing all the issues your PC may have. The good news is that re-installing any corrupted / damaged software on your computer will allow Windows to run much smoother - which can be done by following these steps:

* Click "Start"

* Locate "Control Panel"

* Click on "Add / Remove Programs"

* Locate the program causing problems

* Click "Remove"

* Restart your PC
