Computer Maintenance

Your hard drive may be either full of nearly full.....

The best way i have found to do this is to setup a sever dedicated to Logs and perfomace moniter. Set it up to moniter other servers in the Domain Remotly. This usually reduses Overhead in the servers and is alot easier to do some realtime monitering and check Logs

Yes - if the Uninterruptable power supply is still running, it will still be supplying power to the computer. Just treat it as the main power supply, and drop the PC into hibernate mode. Remember, though - if the power stored in the the UPS is used up, the computer may switch off without shutting down properly - prompting Windows to run diagnostics on next start-up !

You will at least need a new motherboard. The rest of the hardware in the Pentium II is probably so old that I would buy a new computer instead which has all new hardware.

A clicking sound on a HDD is always a bad sign. Connecting an ethernet cable should not make any difference to the hard drive. In my opinion you should back up all your data and get a new hard drive. The days left in your hard drive are counted!

Try disabling your proxy server. Most of the time, you don't NEED a proxy server.If you do need one, you may need to consult with your ISP, about the specific setting you need for your proxy server.

you have to connect the moniter to another system and the resolution should be reduced from that system and can connect it back to your PC

What this does is show you the percentage of the processor being used by the Windows Kernel or operating system. It'll display red on top of some of the green part. So if half the bar is green and half is red, that means 50% of the current CPU Usage is the Kernel!

It is a batch command file.

Is the quality of your printouts fading or mottling? Then it’s likely that your ink cartridges need to be replaced. If your cartridge’s ink level is low, it’s possible that the ink nozzle can clog or dry out. The printer will then try to use additional ink, which may cause the printer to malfunction. As a result, it is preferable to check the ink levels in order to avoid the problem.

Epson printers are dependable machines that come with not just a driver for connecting to a PC, but also a Status Monitor Utility that checks the printer’s ink level. Depending on your device model, you can simply access this via the printer driver, which you may find by choosing either the start menu or the home screen dashboard.

It’s also accessible through the control panel’s options for the printer. This Epson Status Monitor provides details about print jobs, difficulties, settings, and current status. It sends a visual alert whenever the ink level is low.

How to check ink levels in an Epson printer in detail.

1. Accessing Through Print Dialog Box

To start, open your PC browser and go to “File” then “Print.” To access your printer’s settings and controls, go to the “properties” or “preferences” option.

Now select “Maintenance” from the drop-down menu, and then the icon that appears directly next to the Epson Status Monitor. Under the header “ink levels,” there is a graphic that depicts the ink levels.

After viewing the ink levels, click the “OK” button to end the Epson Status Monitor. Close the maintenance tab dialogue box by selecting and clicking the “Cancel” option. To close the Epson Printers dialogue box, select the ” Cancel” option once more.

2. Control Panel Accessing

To begin, go to the bottom of your desktop and open the Windows search option, then type “devices and printer” and hit enter. Look for your equipment in the printer and devices section.

Select “properties” from the submenu after right-clicking on your Epson printer choice. After that, go to “printing choices” and then “maintenance.”

Now select the icon that appears next to the Epson Status Monitor. Under the title “Ink levels,” your printer’s ink level images will appear. After viewing the ink levels, close the Epson status monitor by clicking the “OK” button. To close the Epson printers printing choices dialogue box, click “OK” once more.

The following assumes your keyboard is set to some version of English and that you don't want to switch to a language that uses accented letters.

You need to use the numeric keypad in association with the Alt key if you want to type them directly from the keyboard, rather than copying and pasting them from the Character Map (Start... All Programs... Accessories... System Tools... Character Map). If you are using a laptop the numeric keypad may be a section of the alphabetic keys - if that is the case you normally switch it on with the Function or Fn key.

Hold down the Alt key as you type the numbers and the symbol will appear when you release Alt.

Á - Alt + 0193

á - Alt +0225

É - Alt +0201

é - Alt +0233

 - Alt + 0194

â - Alt +0226

Ü - Alt +0220

ü - Alt +0252

Ñ - Alt +0209

ñ - Alt +0241

To find the keyboard shortcuts for any other accented letters open Character Map, as mentioned earlier and select the letter you want to be shown the keyboard shortcut - or simply copy it in Character Map and paste it wherever you want.

There are infinitely many numbers - whatever the base - and they never end.

Run time will vary on individual laptop computers, based on the applications being used (i.e. high graphics, games), the number of times something is saved or retrieved from the hard drive and/or CD Rom drive, the memory of laptop, and chemistry and capacity of the laptop battery. A realistic average run-time for a laptop battery is 1.5 to 3 hours. Again, run time will vary on applications being used and individual laptops.

EMachines are notorious for coming with under-powered power supplies, and several fires have been known to occur due to overheating and overloading of the PSU.

In general, as a professional repair technician, I would say ALL eMachines need a new PSU on purchase.

However symptoms of a direct PSU failure are:

Failure to turn on (No fans, no lights, no noise)

Crashing or instability, especially during heavy use

Strange noises (high pitched whines, 'buzzing')

Excessive heat from the PSU (exceeding 140 degrees F)

Upgrading ANY component to a higher-powered component, or adding any new high-draw peripherals (even external hard drives that are not self-powered) can cause an immediate overload of a PSU.

Troubleshooting a PSU involves removing all non-essential components (wireless cards, NIC cards, extra memory, hard drives, video cards [if onboard is present and useable], extra fans or cooling [NOT the CPU fan!!!], external components, etc.

If it suddenly begins working with objects removed, it is likely a shortage of power.

Keep in mind some other malfunctions can mimic PSU problems, such as failing motherboards, overheating, and bad RAM.

Punitive damages can be brought against an individual or the OWGM/EC for damage to ADPE caused by improper care

As its posted in the computer catalogue, I will tell you what I do when solving a computer problem:

1. Analyze the error to see if its a virus, hardware or software problem.

2. After finding what is the problem, I will proper what software (or softwares) I'm going to use.

3. Fixing the problem - I have my software(s) ready, now I just need to install and run them.

4. Lastly, I like to know what caused the problem so I would try and find that out.

If there is a problem which is more advanced to solve, I would do more research on how to fix it and why it caused a problem.
