Sign of an ailing harddrive!

More often on the field we encounter unusual problems, one problem I just encounter a couple months ago is an ailing 40GB HDD.

Actually,the hard drive is working fine, no bad sector etc... only there are times that the hard disk can not be detected by the system BIOS and that you have to re-socket the IDE cable to be detected again by the system, sometime the partition get corrupted and that you have to re-format and re-load everything.

At first you have to suspect the IDE cable or being infected by a virus,but as the problem keeps coming back you have to start thinking that something wrong with the hard disk.

The strange thing here is that when you reformat the disk or check with a utility program, everything is fine. Only to encounter the problem after a month or so of operation.

Next time when you encounter similar problem such as this one, try replacing your existing hard disk with a different or new one.It will probably solve the problem.

Happy Weekend!

Useful freebies for downloads(Part 2)!

Here's the continuation of my useful software utilities for downloads!

Speedfan Utility

Operating System:Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 9.x, Windows Me, Windows XP, Windows Vista

SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in computers with hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for those hard disks that support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if supported. SpeedFan supports SCSI disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this should be considered a bonus feature). At the lowest level, SpeedFan is a hardware monitor software that can access digital temperature sensors, but its main feature is that it can change fan speeds (depending on the capabilities of your sensor chip and your hardware) according to the temperatures inside your pc, thus reducing noise.

Just a short note!

Just a couple of days ago I encountered a problem from a CPU that keeps on rebooting after 1o or 15 minutes of use and the culprit is a dirty edge of its memory card module. So next time if you encounter similar case, clean the memory card edge first, before suspecting a software or a hardware problem. It may save you a lot of time in your troubleshooting.
