Tips & Tricks For BIOS

 

• Standby BIOS: After you had just assembled or just bought your PC, make sure to take a copy of your BIOS in a floppy. Do not forget to copy the software program required to flash the BIOS with it. For instructions regarding this, refer to your motherboard manual or the manufacturer's website.

• Do not detect absent IDE drives: As mentioned earlier, you can connect 4 IDE devices to your MB. During bootup process, the BIOS will try to detect all of them. If you have just a hard disk and a CD drive, you can set the BIOS to detect just these devices and bypass checking the absent ones. This will save some precious microseconds when booting up.

• Supervisor password: To prevent your BIOS settings from being changed by anyone else, set a Supervisor password in the BIOS and do not set the user password.

• User password: If you want to prevent access to anyone else, then set the User password.

Monthly computer maintenance tips:

General Computer Maintenance Tips:

• Keep all of your working files in one folder. The My Documents folder is offered by Windows expressly for this purpose. The benefits of keeping all your files in one place are multiple. One, you know where all your files are, two, it's easy to back them all up at once, and three, your machine will run faster.
• Don't put your personal files on the root of the C: drive. If you store a large number of files in the root folder, you could corrupt your disk file table which could lead to a "NTLDR is missing" error message when you boot the computer. Very bad. If you have personal files on the C: drive now, move them to the My Documents folder.

Won't turn on

This is always a very worrying one. Going to switch on your computer only for nothing to happy is never a good sign. This will be a hardware issue and will usually be serious. If - after switching the computer on - there's no sound at all (i.e. nothing inside the system tries to start-up), this might be a fault with the power supply unit, CPU or in the best-case scenario a loose connection.
If you hear some sounds but then it fails, it might be a problem with the hard-drive or a couple of other components. Either way, in this case it's usually best to contact your computer vendor or local repair shop straight away and go from there. There's unfortunately very little you can do unless it's a loose connection (however it's unfortunately rarely a loose connection in these cases) hence it's best to ring up your vendor/repair shop.
