Computer Maintenance

In a Windows-based computer, the system registry is a place designed for storing all of the settings within Windows and the applications. It is a collection of very important files that Windows needs to even boot. They store where everything is, all the settings, etc. Not all programs are compliant with the registry and may store their settings in private files. The registry was designed for getting away from all the settings file clutter and for having a common place for all settings for every application you use. Windows 3.1 used INI files, and while most versions of Windows will use them, the preferred place is the registry.

External case temperature should always be below 27*C (80*F), with the best temperatures around 18*C (65*F). Internal air temperature should be around 40*C (104*F), except for heatsinks, which require lower temperatures.

As long as you're using fans, don't be worried until case air temperature exceeds 55*C(130*F). At this point, both fans and passive coolers will be useless, and only liquid cooling will be able to safely protect your components.

You will need a test program (also called a diagnostic) that exercises the functions that are suspected of making errors. You may also have to run this program under a variety of different environmental conditions (e.g. high temperature, low temperature, higher supply voltages, lower supply voltages) to stress the hardware more and increase the chance of finding intermittent errors.

Such testing can often be quite frustrating, I did it on systems that had to operate on full Military temperature range (-54C to +75C) for over a decade and some problems took more than a month of varying test conditions and rerunning tests over and over (even sometimes writing special diagnostics just for that problem) before the cause of the problem could be isolated.

BIOS is the Basic Input Output System that lives on the motherboard. The BIOS determines how the computer acts before any software is loaded, and in newer motherboards it determines how hardware appears to the operating system. BIOS is what allows a computer to boot. If the bios does not understand how to read from a piece of hardware, you can not boot from it. BIOS determines configuration for motherboard resources and provides the informatiotn about available resources to the operating system. BIOS may contain software to encrypt drives or hold a component necessary for decryption. BIOS may require the entry of a password before boot to help prevent unauthorized use. BIOS may hold unique information to identify the computer.

yes you can. at least in most cases. if you look on your motherboard (the biggest component of any computer internally), you'll see there is 2 (or 3)rectangular boxes right next to each other. that would be the hard disk/floppy disk bank. from each of the rectangles, there's a cord with a certain amount of pins. on each cord, there's (usually) 2 plugs that you can plug a hard disk or cd/dvd-rom into. there you have it.
