While this can often be a Windows failure, there are times when the fault lies with the hardware - so where's the best place to start looking to establish which it is? Click on the following link for a guide to tracking down the 'culprit'!Wed, 15 Aug 2007 19:28:35 GMThttp://www.micro2000.co.uk/products/microscope/tech_sheet.htmAnswer: "Recently a client had a problem with a new graphics card they had purchased which seemed to be faulty, but thanks to using Micro 2000 we were able to not only resolve the problem and ensure the replacement card was fully operational, it also located a number of bad sectors, resolved the problem plus diagnosed a potential problem with the machine's memory. Both problems, if left undiagnosed, could have resulted in a serious loss of data at a later date." Find out just how many hardware components you can check for faults at any one time. Thu, 19 Jul 2007 12:38:20 GMThttp://www.eraserdisk.co.ukMost people are aware of the fact that before getting rid of a PC, whether it was for personal or professional use, they need to ensure that the data that is still stored on the hard drive is made inaccessible to others. However, what is not so generally known is the fact that, while there are many different options available on the market for the purpose of 'wiping data', there are different levels of 'erasure', some of which still leave the data vulnerable to exposure and at risk of being retrieved. EraserDisk has been designed to be used successfully in all types of environments, whether personal or professional, and completely eradicates any and all data on a hard drive. It does not just 'wipe' the drive clean, but it overwrites it several times so that anything that was on the disk is no longer 'recognizable' and consequently 'theft proof'! The only safe and secure disk drive is a sterilized drive, and EraserDisk provides simple but complete drive cleaning to the highest security standards.

Are you still going THROUGH the O/S to diagnose faults? Do you CROSS YOUR FINGERS hoping that the PC is 100% fixed? Isn't it time you found out just how easy it is to avoid all this and get straight to the route of the problem?

Memory problems can manifest themselves in many ways - so, if a PC isn't running 100%, ruling this out first is sometimes a good place to start! But anyone who has used a DOS or O/S based memory tester knows that the results can be inaccurate because these testers do not communicate directly with the hardware itself, and based on this there are even certain areas that they cannot test at all. Fortunately MemScope - our FREE MEMORY TESTER - is completely operating system independent - so it gives you the most accurate results possible! Follow the link to download. And to give you a 'head start' we have posted a 'guide' to the various types of errors, with the most likely reason for each failure, on the following link; http://www.micro2000.co.uk/products/microscope/Memory_Tests.html Thu, 10 May 2007 08:08:37 GMThttp://www.micro2000.co.uk/products/microscope/Creating_Batch_Tests_USB.htmlHow would you like to have an automated system that could track down intermittent faults on any PC? Having a utility that can run a repeating loop of tests is sometimes the only way to catch this type of problem, which by its nature will seldom perform on cue during a single run-through of a test. And with Microscope it couldn't be easier! Just put the floppy, CD or USB stick in the drive and hit 'GO'!

Would you ask for directions from another tourist or would you ask someone native to that region? Well, Micro-Scope is the 'native' to the 'country' called 'hardware' - it speaks the same language and it understands all the ins and outs and 'local customs' that are specific to this area, and it doesn't even use a 'translator' to do this (ie. the resident operation system, such as Windows); so it acts as your 'guide' to the fastest and most economical route to troubleshooting problem PCs with ease.

It's a printed circuit card that plugs into any vacant bus slot on the computer's motherboard. It can be used with the ISA bus, EISA or PCI bus. The card monitors the voltages, bus signals, and the computer's POST, or Power-On-Self-Test, and shows the results with various LED and 7-segment displays.

Most people who work with computers have experienced 'performance' issues and these could be as a result of either the software, or the hardware, but in the case of the latter it can often be the 'memory' that is at fault. Memory issues can be deceptive as they don't necessary create problems that require immediate attention; but they can be pretty irritating nonetheless!

The beeps may provide a clue, but every BIOS has its own set of beep codes, and you won't know what BIOS version you have until you take off the case. No matter which BIOS it is though, the number of beep codes will invariably be quite small compared to the number of things that could be wrong, so getting help from that quarter is somewhat a matter of luck.
