Computers / Computer OVERHEATING Causes, Signs & Preventive Measures by hardeyjahreh: 2:26am On Sep 19, 2017 |
OVERHEATING is a great problem which computer users face mostly and of which they have little or no idea about it. It occurs when a Computer exceeds its normal range of heat production. It is a problem that is hyped to be common with AMD motherboard. Computers hate HEAT and that is why Computers are designed in such a way that heat can be expelled and allow for proper air circulation. [img]pc-hero-overheating-laptop.jpg[/img] CAUSES OF HEATING 1.BAD COMPUTER COOLING SYSTEM/FAN cooler Bad cooling system/fan of a PC is the main factor that cause overheating because it makes the PC not to give way for good air circulation. Inside of the case of a laptop collects dust and other debris from the surroundings through the blowing fan component, which if left uncleaned, this can force the fan and other parts to overwork, thereby leading to overheating 2. OVERCLOCKING Simply put, overclocking means setting your CPU and memory to run at speeds higher than their standard speed grade. 3. LOCATION Poorly ventilated rooms or ones that receive minimal climate control are unfriendly computer environments,. A computer that has direct face to sunlight and any other heat sources, records increase its temperature. So therefore keep your computer away from windows, other heat sources. 4. Operating Systems & Installed Softwares Installing a non suitable operating system on a computer which configuration doesn't support may cause overheating. Also using software that demands high graphics memory on a computer with a low VRAM (video graphic memory) also leads to overheating. 5. AGED COMPUTER COMPONENTS overheating can occur due to aged computer components, the components work less efficiently and can overheat. bluescreen1 crashes SIGNS OF OVER HEATING 1) When your PC shuts down for no reason, it could be as a result of overheating 2) Blue screen crashes, and freezes (especially while doing something demanding high performance of the PC, like playing PC games , encoding video, 3D designs e.t.c) PREVENTIVE MEASURES You don’t have to put your PC in the refrigerator to cool it down because it overheats. You just have to take this few steps: 1. USAGE OF PROCESSOR TEMP MONITORING SOFTWARES Using temperature monitoring app by checking the processors temp from time to time. Softwares like Core temp, Speed fan, HWMonitor (I will like to suggest Core temp because it gives accurate temp and can also be set to shutdown/ hibernate PC when its temp has reach the maximum level) e.t.c 2. SERVICING Overheating can be prevented by regular servicing of your PC of cause by a professional like (favoured system service) to remove accumulated dust from your pc. It all depends on the usage and the environment. maybe like once in six month for both. 3. COOLING PAD Making use of cooling pad.Especially for AMD 4. PC POSITIONING We can also prevent overheating through the way we position our PC You don't place on bed but on flat and hard surface, and if possible place something to raise the laptop up a bit from the rear position. 5. UNSUITABLE SOFTWARES Avoid using softwares that demands high resolution graphics quality (high VRAM Requirement) on a system that doesn't have the required VRAM to run the program.

Computers / How To Extend Your Laptop Battery Life Span - FSS Researchers by hardeyjahreh: 1:52pm On Apr 14, 2017 |
Recently, Questions has popped up on how to elongate laptops battery Life Span. To this effect a research on this was conducted. Below are tips that has been gathered through research work by FSS Research Team that will help in making your laptop’s battery last longer. You can make your laptop’s battery run longer on by turning off or reduce all the things that expend power in your computer. KEEPING THE BATTERY FRESH Keep the battery fresh. Batteries leak power if they aren't used fairly soon after charging. If you use your "full" battery 2 weeks after you last charged it, you may discover it is empty. Instead of charging the battery to 100% each time, fix the maximum charge limit to 80-85%. This will help in the long run by reducing the battery degradation with time. Sony VAIO, Lenovo, Samsung e.t.c. Users are very lucky to have it as an inbuilt option to set this. Of which to do this in a Place where Electricity supply is not stable is not easy. REDUCE THE NUMBER OF RUNNING PROGRAMS Learn to single-task PC memory that is in use takes more power to hold data. If your laptop has plenty of memory, then keep multiple applications open to avoid loading repeatedly from the hard drive. Close all the Programs that run in the background on your computer. Use a basic text editor rather than the processor and RAM heavy Microsoft Word. Heavy Program like games or movie watching uses a lot of battery power. POWER USAGE Switch off the wireless card when you are not using it. Disable Bluetooth. If you don't use this feature, you can safely disable it to avoid draining your laptop’s battery. (Bluetooth works with your wireless card, so putting the wireless off will also power off your Bluetooth) Shut down or hibernate the laptop rather than using standby/Sleep , if you plan on not using it for a while. Standby/Sleep continues to drain energy to keep your laptop ready to go when you open the cover. Note: Power plans can be edited on your laptop to suit this very purpose. DEFRAGMENTATION Defrag your hard drive. The more fragmented your hard drive is the more your hard disk needs to work. Note: You don’t need to do this on a Mac, as they do this automatically by themselves when needed. Also, don’t do this if your computer uses a solid-state drive, as this will actually make it slower! DISPLAY: REDUCE THE LCD'S BRIGHTNESS LEVEL. Reduce the brightness level of the Screen SOUND Turn the volume level down, or mute it, if you do not plan to use it. PERIPHERALS Unplug external devices such as a USB mouse or an external drive. Avoid using a CD or DVD. If you store copy of data you need on an optical disc, copy it to your laptop hard drive or a thumb drive before traveling. Optical drives consume large amounts of power to spin up CDs and DVDs. Try to avoid applications that keep your hard drive or optical drive spinning. Need to play music? Try to use your handheld MP3 player, rather than playing songs on your computer. Playing songs on your computer will keep the hard drive working which uses energy. Eject external devices such as pen drives, DVDs, hard disks, etc. , if not in use. PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Avoid extreme temperatures. Batteries rely on basic chemistry and will die faster at extreme temperatures. Try to charge and use the battery at room temperatures. Use a cooling pad when using a notebook computer on your lap. But if it's a USB pad then don't use it as it will most likely use up more battery rather than to conserve it. Avoid propping your laptop on a pillow, blanket, or other soft surface that can heat up. CLEANING YOUR BATTERY Clean the battery contacts. Clean the battery's metal contacts with rubbing alcohol on a damp cloth. Clean contacts increase the energy efficiency. Note: Be careful when cleaning the contacts. Always clean them when the battery is fully drained, and use a very slightly damp cloth, so as to avoid electric shock and short-circuits. Extra tips If you use your computer for too long, it could overheat and slowly damage components, shortening their lifespan. Be careful when charging your battery. Never hook it up to charge it when you're not around. Clean your desk. It sounds strange, but if you have a dusty, dirty desk, that dust will get into the vents and clog the cooling fan. Once the dust is inside your laptop, it is much harder to remove. Take a break if your battery is running low. Don't run games if the computer's already hot. Visit: www.favsys.com.ng for more info |

Education / South African Universities Set To Offer Witchcraft In Their School Curriculum. by hardeyjahreh: 6:12pm On Oct 10, 2016 |
South African universities set to offer witchcraft in their school curriculum. If news making the rounds is anything to go by, then students will now have a chance to get an education on witchcraft. According to Live Monitor, plans to include witchcraft into university curriculums, have been announced by the South African minister of higher education and training, Mr Blade Nzimande. witchcraft school According to Nzimande, the classes which will commence from 2018, is aimed at learning skills which are peculiar to people who practice witchcraft. Addressing student union representatives from across the country, he said: “There is a lot we can learn from witchcraft, like how they fly in that winnowing basket. Imagine if we learn that skill. It will eradicate traffic jams and everyone will just get in their basket and fly. It also means we will not be importing fuel anymore.” Nzimande also reportedly asked popular witches to book and keep appointments with his office, where there skills would be tested to determine which ones would be hired as lecturers. He also reportedly invited witches from outside South Africa, with a promise of permanent residency. He said: “I spoke to Gibs (Minister of Home affairs Malusi Gigaba) and he agreed to issue witches from outside South Africa with permanent residence permits. I heard Malawi and Zimbabwe have an impressive collection of witches. We are hoping they will heed the call.” The student representatives were said to have booed him after his speech, because they had assumed he would reduce their increasing school fees. Applications into the department is said to be closing at midnight on September 30. There is currently an opening for 109 witches. SOURCE: livemonitor.co.za |

Sports / Ronaldo Can Win Euro 2016 And The World Cup But Messi Will Still Be Number One by hardeyjahreh: 2:58pm On Jul 09, 2016 |
The Portuguese forward is on the brink of achieving a senior international title, something his Barcelona rival has never managed, but the Argentine will always be superior The debate will run and run. Cristiano Ronaldo is one game away from winning Euro 2016 and if he does he will have achieved something even Lionel Messi has not: a major trophy with his national side. However, whatever happens on Sunday in Paris has no bearing on who is the better player. Because that is and always will be the Argentine. In an editorial published on Thursday, Goal 's chief correspondent Peter Staunton argued that if Cristiano claims the trophy on Sunday, he will have had a greater career than the Barcelona forward . But that is simply not the case - not now, nor never. There is no doubt that Ronaldo is a phenomenon. The Portuguese is a man whose extraordinary dedication and ambition mean he is always seeking to improve and to do even better. And it is that desire that has seen him win countless trophies, both collectively and individually - including three Ballons d'Or. RELATED Ronaldo is honest when asked about his objectives. "I want to become the best player ever," he has said on a number of occasions. The problem with that, however, is that he is not even the finest footballer of his era. Because that honour belongs to Messi. Cristiano can win the Euros, he can claim another Ballon d'Or or perhaps more, but even if he were to win the World Cup with Portugal, he would still not be a better player than the Argentine attacker. Messi is simply superior on every level. Ronaldo scores loads of goals? Yes, he does. But Messi has still scored more in the time the two have played in Spain. And although Cristiano can boast some spectacular efforts among those strikes, most are via a single touch, a thunderous drive, a prodigious leap - especially these days. Pep Guardiola was once asked to describe Messi in words and said: "You can't - you have to watch him." And it is true. Look at Ronaldo's goals. Impressed? Great. Now look at Messi's goals. Then look back at Cristiano's after that. Still as impressed as you were before? The same can be said for the assists. The Portuguese produces his fair share, but the assist he claimed against Wales on Wednesday was typical - a mishit shot redirected into the net by Nani. Ronaldo shoots so often that many of his efforts fail to hit the target and some find a team- mate in a better position. That's logical. Not all of them are that way, of course, but again his assists are fewer, less spectacular and usually far less difficult technically than Messi's. That's why stats don't tell the whole story. Messi is much more than numbers and it is not the same thing to beat five players and score in a spectacular solo run than it is to hammer home from close range at the far post - even if both are ultimately worth the same. And it's the same with assists: a mesmerising run past three or four players before setting up a team-mate or a wonderful curling delivery from deep to take out several defenders is so much more difficult than a mere cross, a single pass or even a mishit shot. But even if you measure the two in numbers, Messi is ahead. And in terms of trophies, he is well clear. While Ronaldo has claimed 17 titles at Manchester United and Real Madrid (nine and eight respectively), the Argentine has won 28 with Barcelona (including two trebles) and he is over two years younger than the Portuguese. At international level, neither has achieved what many believe they should have. Messi, after helping Argentina to an Under-20 World Cup and an Olympic gold medal (with the U-23 team), has failed to add a title with the senior side - losing four finals (three Copas America and one World Cup) and calling time on his Argentina career after the latest disappointment in the Copa America Centenario when he missed a penalty in the shootout loss to Chile. Ronaldo, meanwhile, lost out in the final at Euro 2004, fell again in the semi-finals of the 2006 World Cup and also in the last four at Euro 2012. He has come close, but was disappointing along with his team-mates in group-stage exit at Brazil 2014 and Sunday's showpiece in Paris is quite probably his last real shot at a major honour with his country. But even if he wins it and produces a match- winning performance at the Stade de France, that will not make him a finer footballer than Messi. The Argentine creates more than Cristiano, scores greater goals, is less selfish, dribbles better, possesses superior technique and passing, and is also on top when it comes to free-kicks now. Victory for Portugal in the Euros won't change any of that. Football is all about opinions, of course, but it is fair to say that the only ones who believe Ronaldo to be better than Messi are either Portuguese, Real Madrid fans or (some) Manchester United supporters. Everyone else, including neutrals, thinks Messi is the number one. And that's because he is - whatever happens on Sunday.

Education / Minister Orders Refund Of Post-utme Fees by hardeyjahreh: 8:16pm On Jun 27, 2016 |
Minister of Education, Malam Adamu Adamu has directed all tertiary institutions that have conducted post-UTME examination to immediately refund money taken from candidates. The minister has also declared that post- UTME examinations already taken are null and void; threatening that any institution caught still conducting the examination under any guise would be sanctioned. The minister made this position known yesterday, in a press statement issued by Deputy Director Press and Public Relations, Ben Bem Goong. The strong-worded statement reiterated the Ministry’s position that post-UTME examinations have been cancelled with immediate effect and no institution should conduct such examinations. The minister warned that once the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has certified a candidate worthy of admission into any of the tertiary institutions, that candidate must be deemed fit by the institution. According to the statement, students who have already been offered admission by JAMB may be screened by the institutions but this must not involve the conduct of any other entry examination. The candidates can be screened by verifying their certificates but not through the conduct of examinations. The minister stated that it is unnecessary to subject students to further examinations when they have been offered examinations by JAMB since they will still have to go through between eight or 12-semester examinations throughout their four to six years study in the institutions. The minister, therefore, directed the National Universities Commission (NUC) and appropriate departments in the Ministry to communicate the directive to relevant agencies and institutions to ensure strict compliance. “Those who have already advertised for the conduct of the Post-UTME under any guise should stop the exercise immediately as any university caught conducting Post-UTMNE will face appropriate sanctions. If any tertiary Institution has already conducted Post-UTME, such an exercise stands annulled and money taken from such candidates must be refunded immediately”, the Minister said. The directive to stop the post-UTME examinations was given by the minister nearly a month ago. The minister said through the statement that it was important to emphasise the directive in order to ensure that no stakeholder is left in doubt as to government’s position on the matter. He affirmed that the responsibility for admission into public tertiary institutions lies solely with JAMB and under no circumstance whatsoever, should anybody or institution take over that responsibility by proxy. “The ban is with immediate effect, and under no circumstance should any institution violate the directive”. “Any educational institution after secondary education is regarded as a tertiary institution. Therefore all tertiary institutions, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education, Universities or by whatever name it is called after secondary education must be subjected to admission through the JAMB. At the end of probationary admission by JAMB, the candidates can be cleared (screened) for final admission. For any institution with a shortfall in admission, such institution can revert to JAMB for supplementary admission”. “Clearing in this case (screening) entails only the verification of certificates of the candidates, JAMB scores, and any other physical examination to ensure that such candidates are not cultists. After this, the candidates are qualified for matriculation. Such screening should be at no cost to the parents or students and should be done upon resumption in order to avoid unnecessary travels in search of admission”, the minister said, For secondary school leavers who are seeking admission into the tertiary institutions, Malam Adamu said that subjecting them to too many examinations all in one year, is traumatic, exploitative and absolutely unnecessary. This is besides the cost of travelling, hotel accommodation and examination fees that parents have to incur in their bid to secure admission for their ward.

Computers / How To Extend Your Battery Life by hardeyjahreh: 5:36am On May 23, 2016 |
How to Extend Laptop Battery Life Span? Recently, Issues has popped up about how to elongate laptops battery Life Span. You can make your laptop’s battery run longer on by turning off or reduce all the things that expend power in your computer. Below are tips that has been gathered through research work by FSS Research Team that will help in making your laptop’s battery last longer. It is divided into 8 sections Section 1: Keeping the battery fresh Keep the battery fresh. Batteries leak power if they aren't used fairly soon after charging. If you use your "full" battery 2 weeks after you last charged it, you may discover it is empty. Instead of charging the battery to 100% each time, fix the maximum charge limit to 80-85%. This will help in the long run by reducing the battery degradation with time. Sony VAIO, Lenovo, Samsung e.t.c. Users are very lucky to have it as an inbuilt option to set this. One should charge it full and exhaust it to like 4% for Calibration purposes. Section 2: Reduce the number of Opened Applications Learn to single-task PC memory that is in use takes more power to hold data. If your laptop has plenty of memory, then keep multiple applications open to avoid loading repeatedly from the hard drive. Close all the applications that run in the background on your computer. Run simple applications that don't use much RAM, disk drive, or processing power. Use a basic text editor rather than the processor and RAM heavy Microsoft Word. Heavy applications like games or movie watching are especially hard on the battery. Section 3: Power Management Switch off the wireless card when you are not using it. Disable Bluetooth. If you don't use this feature, you can safely disable it to avoid draining your laptop’s battery. (Bluetooth works with your wireless card, so putting the wireless off will also power off your Bluetooth) Shut down or hibernate the laptop rather than using standby/Sleep , if you plan on not using it for a while. Standby/Sleep continues to drain energy to keep your laptop ready to go when you open the cover. Power plans can be edited on your laptop to suit this very purpose. Defrag your hard drive. The more fragmented your hard drive is the more your hard disk needs to work. · You do not need to do this on a Mac, as they do this automatically by themselves when needed. · Also, do not do this if your computer uses a solid-state drive, as this will actually make it slower! Section 4: Display Reduce the LCD's brightness level. Turn down the screen resolution. The method for doing this will depend on your laptop make. Section 5: Sound Turn the volume level down, or mute it, if you do not plan to use it. Section 6: Your Physical Environment Avoid extreme temperatures. Batteries rely on basic chemistry and will die faster at extreme temperatures. Try to charge and use the battery at room temperatures. Use a cooling pad when using a notebook computer on your lap. But if it's a USB pad then don't use it as it will most likely use up more battery rather than to conserve it. Avoid propping your laptop on a pillow, blanket, or other soft surface that can heat up. Section 7: Peripherals Unplug external devices such as a USB mouse or an external drive. Avoid using a CD or DVD. If you store copy of data you need on an optical disc, copy it to your laptop hard drive or a thumb drive before traveling. Optical drives consume large amounts of power to spin up CDs and DVDs. Try to avoid applications that keep your hard drive or optical drive spinning. Need to play music? Try to use your handheld MP3 player, rather than playing songs on your computer. Playing songs on your computer will keep the hard drive working which uses energy. Turn off the auto save feature on MS Word or Excel. Constant saving will keep your hard drive turning and using energy.(If you are the type that forgets to save do not do this) Eject external devices such as pen drives, DVDs, hard disks, etc. , if not in use. Section 8: Cleaning your Battery Clean the battery contacts. Clean the battery's metal contacts with rubbing alcohol on a damp cloth. Clean contacts increase the energy efficiency. Note: Be careful when cleaning the contacts. Always clean them when the battery is fully drained, and use a very slightly damp cloth, so as to avoid electric shock and short-circuits. Extra tips · If you use your computer for too long, it could overheat and slowly damage components, shortening their lifespan. · Be careful when charging your battery. Never hook it up to charge it when you're not around. · Clean your desk. It sounds strange, but if you have a dusty, dirty desk, that dust will get into the vents and clog the cooling fan. Once the dust is inside your laptop, it is much harder to remove. · Take a break if your battery is running low. · Don't run games if the computer's already hot. Source: www.favrsy.tk #FSSResearch |
