Computer Maintenance

When they start getting dementia.

You could try using a electrical save spray lubricant, like Silicone. Please do not use WD-40, since it could cause a short circuit on you keyboard.

Same as the Power On Self Test, but less thorough (and thus faster)

Checks to ensure all components are baseline functional. POST is not necessary today except to initialize and power-on devices, since flaws are not often detected by a POST test unless they are very severe or blatant (IE, missing)

Quick POSTS just check that they're there, initialize, and boot.

Normal POSTS also count RAM, check CPU function, check storage device I/O, boot and test the VGA BIOS, etc.

First thing is to determine if it is actually the monitor and not your video card. Try downloading the latest drivers for your video card and monitor and see if it clears it up if not I would try another monitor on your computer and see if it still does it on the other monitor,if so then its the video card that's causing the lights(you already tried the latest driver so its probably gone bad try contacting the maker and see if they will replace it if your warenty is still good(sometimes they will replace it anyway). if not then its probably gonna mean buying another monitor(is it a crt or a flat screen?) if its a crt or a big heavy deep cased monitor sometimes when the capacitors are going out you can hit the side of the monitor case (not too hard) and see if it changes anything. If you see any changes in the picture when you hit the side of the crt monitor that's probably the problem and you will need to buy a new one most likely because it would be more expensive to fix it.(hitting a flat screen monitor isn't a good idea though).

If you ever open a computer mouse with a scroll wheel, there is a possibility that the spring that supports the scroll wheel will fall out. That can be frustrating and confusing. Usually, the coil part of the spring goes on the shaft of the mouse wheel. Often, the shaft is longer on that side to make room for the spring. There should be places for the projections to go on the same side as the longer part of the shaft goes. It may take a bit of trial and error until you figure it out.

Solid State memory is the memory use in flash drives and memory cards for cameras, cell phones, etc. Now, this technology is also being used right now in hard drives, even thought they still really expensive, the reading and writing speed are way better than the current hard drive technology, plus they last longer since they are microchips and don't use any moving parts. Eventually solid state hard drives are going to substitute the current mechanical hard drives that we now use.

It's the fastest setting. It will appear the clearest. It wont have a blackened around around the display.

Running time of a linear search is O(n)

This could very. For example the one on my plain jane computer is rated at 400watts, where as the one in my gaming rig is rated at 1200watts. If its a computer you built, then checking the site of the manufacture of the PSU or Power supply would tell you. If its a computer that you purchased at a store or online, check out the manufacutures website. Both would give you an idea of how big the PSU is in your computer

They are tools to re-arrange the space in a hard disk trough time all files in the hard disk need to be arranged so the hard disk can have more life and your computer will operate smoother.

You will find sticky keys under one of the tabs. Turn them off. You might also have changed the font from Arial or Times Roman ( Roman Characters ) to other symbolic font. So go ahead and change it.

Mainframe computers have large memory storage. While minicomputers have small or less memory storage than mainframe computer. ... The processing speed of mainframe computer is faster than minicomputer. While the processing speed of minicomputer is slower than mainframe computer.

Usually it will cause your OS to show warning that you have exceeded available memory or crash...

If you like to stand, walk, or run, and you have torn meniscus in your knee, it would be painful.

You computer needs an internet connection to update(in most cases), in order for your computer to recive an internet signal, it needs to be turned on. I think it may work if you have a screen saver on, but i am not 100% sure on. A way to test it is to start an update and then put your computer into screen saver mode and wait a couple minutes, if the percent goes up it works :P. Happy Updating
