PC Computer Hardware Troubleshooting
A big problem when repairing a computer is
when one faulty component causes anothere component
to slowly degrade over time and eventually fail. The
faultly component gets replaced and the
failing component works, how is this possible? It
takes a little time for the faulty component to once
again degrade the working component to the point of
no return.
Electronics can play funny tricks, it's important to have a lot of good working spare parts when preforming the process of elimination, testing equipment and error codes are not always forthcoming.
Poor quality, worn out power supply units (PSU) are a big cause of misdiagnosing the wrong computer component.
A lot of power supplies units will test correctly using a (PSU) tester, however, their are many aspects to a (PSU) providing clean accurately dependable power, especially when it is supporting a multi thousand dollar video card and computer components.

Understanding how to choice the right computer hardware for your needs
A cad card like nvidia quadro is better for professional use with multiple monitors and higher end CAD software like catia, gtx is no good with software which requires good opengi performance for rendering like solidworks it is unusable with Real View in solidworks.
Trick questions asked in I.T. job interviews
The term BIOS stands for a lot of different things, be careful. If
asked what are computer bios it could be safe to say "basic input output
system". When the word bios is being used
it has to be pertaining to something in order to determine what it will stands
for, other wise it is a trick question.
I/O
stands for input output but not all the
time, it is mostly used as an on off switch indicator on a schematic diagram.
I.T. stands for information technology,
however a lot of people think it stands for internet technology.

Dell monitors use a LCD color retention tool or setting that helps make the colors look a lot more accurate, I believe it works.
A general note on server side php include configuration
I prefer
to have my include files with a .php extension. I know some people prefer to
use extensions like .html or .inc (to designate it�s an 'included' file), but
this way:
Fast start up is enabled by default when a new computer is loaded with an operation system. A lot of IT technicians don't like this feature, they think it causes problems with Windows updates that come in behind the seems. It does this because when fast start up is enabled and you shut down your computer, windows will write all the users data information to a temporary start up file designed to override everything at start up or coming out of sleep and hibernate.
When its time to start the computer and install automatic updates, this temporary file will cause problems, a lot more then Microsoft wants people to know. Thanks to solid state hard drives, fast start up, will not slow down your computer that much. Stability and reliability are what computers are all about. Most IT maintenances people will advise people that it's important to shut down and start up your computer at least once a day.
With start up being so important, it makes even more since that a full start up is even better for a computer.

How to find the Windows 11 (PAK)

Windows 11 Help &
Support
Windows 11 operating system can be installed in older computers that don't meet the minimum system hardware requirements. When a computer is capable of running Windows 10 it should be able to run and handle Windows 11.
During the Windows 11 installation process a few Windows registry keys can be adding to the system registry that will bypass the Microsoft minimum system hardware requirements evaluation.
People have not reported any problems using the system registry work around. Microsoft is providing security updates and drivers for systems that are using the added registry keys.
Windows 10 drivers are backwards compatible with Windows 11 (OS), there should not be a driver compatibility problem with installing Windows 11 on older computers.
I do not recommend using third party apps or programs to bypass Win 11 system minimum requirements. Free third party apps downloaded from the internet are bad in general.
Upgrade to an SSD hard drive for only fifty dollars more with a Windows 11 upgrade.
Can't find hard drive during Windows 11 OS installation?
Intel 11th through 14th I generation processors need a special Intel rapid storage technology (RST) driver in order to install windows 11.
Motherboards can not see the hard drive without this extra driver installation during the Windows 11 installation process, everybody finds this to be a major pain in the brain.
It is the same thing that happened during 2010 when RAID driver configuration reemerged form the 1970's, however, the terminology RAID did not get coined until the late 1980's. Let me help you with this installation problem and never worry about it again.
