What to do about flashes on my computer?

If you are epileptic try taking a break every 10 -15mins because of the rate computers flash per second. You can check how many time it flashes by the mod code. There are 'screens' that show less of how many times computers flash a second.

Older CRT monitors with low refresh rates (lower than 60Hz) can be prone to flickering. You may be able to increase the refresh rate of your monitor by changing the settings on your operating system. If your CRT monitor does not support a refresh rate higher than 59Hz, you may want to consider switching to a LCD monitor which are much less prone to flickering.

For a LCD monitor, some people may notice flicker on certain monitors while most other people would not. This can be hit and miss. If you experience this problem, try going to a store and testing out display LCD monitors for flicker.

What were the steps to building a computer?

If you want to build a computer, then you need to make sure that all of the parts are compatible with each other. A computer must have a Power Supply, Motherboard, Processor, Hard Disk, and RAM to function properly. All of these parts screw into the computer case. The first step in building a computer is to make sure that you are properly grounded. Next, install all of the components on the motherboard, before the motherboard goes in the case. Install the compatible RAM into the proper slots on the motherboard. Next, install the processor. Then, attach the fan on top of the processor, to keep the fan from reaching high temperatures. Next, screw the standoffs into the case, to where the motherboard will go. Standoffs prevent the motherboard from touching the case. Then, lay the motherboard onto the case, on top of the standoffs, and screw the motherboard into place. Now, take the 20 or 24-pin AT or ATX cable from the power supply, and connect it to the proper port on the motherboard. Now, you need to connect the Power, Reset, and/or Front USB and Audio connections to the motherboard. Refer to the Owner's Manual for the Motherboard for this. Next, install the Hard Disk. Hard Disks can use either PATA or SATA. SATA operates at faster speeds. You can use either one, depending on the connections on the Hard Drive, and the motherboard. Screw the Hard Drive into the appropriate spot, inside the case. Then, connect the Hard Disk to the motherboard with either a PATA or SATA cable. Then, depending on the connections on the Hard Drive and Power Supply, connect a Molex or a SATA power connector to the Hard Drive. If your Hard Drive has both, only use one of the 2. Do not connect both SATA and Molex power connectors to the same drive. Next, install the CD/DVD drive, if you choose to use one. First, remove the cover for the drive by pushing on the cover, from the inside of the case. Next, slide the drive into the drive bay, from the outside of the case. Then, screw the drive in, using the appropriate screws. Then, connect the CD/DVD drive to the power supply, using either a Molex connector, or a SATA connector, depending on the type of CD/DVD drive, and Power Supply. Then, connect the CD/DVD drive to the Motherboard with either a PATA cable, or a SATA cable, depending on the type of CD/DVD drive, and Motherboard. Next, install the expansion cards into the appropriate slots on the motherboard, if you want to have any. To install an expansion card, first, make sure that there is an interface on the motherboard for the card that you have. Most cards have a PCI interface. First, unscrew the screw that keeps the cover for the expansion card on. Next, carefully insert the card into the appropriate slot on the motherboard. Next, screw the card in, using the appropriate screw. You have now built a computer. Next, connect all of the external peripherals to the external ports. Connect the mouse to either a Serial, Green PS/2, or USB connection. Then, connect the keyboard to either a Violet PS/2 or USB connection. Next, connect the monitor with either a VGA or DVI connection. Next, connect the RJ45 Ethernet cable to the RJ45 port, if you choose to do so. Or, if you are using dialup, connect the RJ11 Phone Line to the appropriate connection. Next, connect the Power connection to the Power Supply. If the Power Supply has a switch, make sure that it is switched to the on position. Next, turn the computer on, and install the Operating System. Make sure that the Operating System is compatible with the hardware in your computer.

When the computer is switched off the data stored is Rom is lost?

If it's actually ROM, nothing should happen to it; ROM is read-only memory. It's possible that the circuits could be so badly designed that switching off power would cause a power surge through the ROM which would damage it, but any company that designed their boards that way deserves to go out of business, preferably by being sued into oblivion.

Where is the magnet in a computer?

Magnets are not essential as part of the computing function itself, but many machines contain CD or similar drives, which are actuated by small motors. Which are magnetic in operation. And similarly for Hard drives, which use magnetic disks to store information. BUT --

But the imminent arrival of solid state drives, (Flash Memory of various sorts) may mean that there are no magnets in the computer. Excepting the loudspeaker which is likely to remain the magnetic type in the near future.

[And excepting the transformers in the power supply.]

P.S. Computer cooling fans also have magnets to be able to turn.

Are apple computers easy to transition to?

Yes, I think they are.

If your a non geek then it's even easier. Apple has a minimalistic OS, as it were. The Mac OS was made to be easy to work with and find stuff on.

One thing Windows has going for it (for geeks anyway) I think is you can do more fiddling and trimming the OS then you can with the Mac.
