B. Software /driver conflicts which causes automatic system reboot
In most cases you can find the automatic rebooting issue after installing a new software or driver in your computer. If you think the automatic rebooting issue started after installing any new software in your computer you need to uninstall the software from your computer either by add/remove programs or by the built in software removal utility. If the issue persists even after uninstalling the software ,you can perform a system restore on your computer to a previous date. So the major points you can do if the issue starts after installing a new software on your computer are:
i. Uninstall the recently installed software
ii. Perform system restore to an old date
Hardware issues which results in automatic system reboot
The major hardware issues lead to automatic restart are:
i. Heat related issues
ii. Corrupted system memory
iii. Dust particles in your system cabinet
iv. possible loose connection
Brand new computers are designed in a way that if the processor heat exceeds a certain level your computer will be automatically shut down or restart. So it is the first step you should verify if your computer reboots without any warning... whether my computer has any heat related issues?
Protect your computer from over heating
The next possible chance is corrupted system memory (RAM). If the RAM modules in your computer is corrupted ,it may cause automatic system reboot. So you should operate your computer with another piece of RAM and check for the issue. Another possible troubleshooting steps you can do is clean your computer cabinet and remove dust particles present. It is also advised to disconnect computer hard disk,DVD drive from mother board and reconnect to avoid any loose connection.
Possible virus infection
Another important reason for automatic computer rebooting is possible virus attack. There are some computer viruses which reboots your computer without your permission. So it is better perform a virus scan on your computer using a reputed AntiVirus software.
Quick
fix to Automatic system reboots issue
If the issue persists even after performing all the steps provided in the article, you can tell your computer to don't restart automatically for any computer error. To do Sthis follows the steps below.
1. Right click on My Computer icon
2. Click the Properties
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. Click on the Settings button under Startup and Recovery.
5. In the Startup and Recovery window uncheck the Automatically restart check box.
6. Click OK.
Now onwards your computer will not restart automatically for any kind of computer errors.
PS: Please note that it is risky to uncheck the automatic reboot option without understanding the actual cause of the issue.
C. Possible
Reasons of MBR Damage
There are some kind of viruses called MBR viruse can damage the Master Boot Record of your computer by replacing the original MBR with new one created by them. Original MBR sector will be moved to some other locations in the hard disk. These MBR viruses can start when the system boot-ups (ie: Even before Operating System loaded). Other possible reasons are hard disk errors and improper installation of multiple operating systems.
The effects of corrupted MBR is difficulty in starting computer , cannot boot computer in safe mode and other available safe mode options etc. The worst cause is not booting computer.
To fix MBR we have some tools which operates in recovery mode. We cannot
actually change the MBR while Windows is running.

Commands
to Fix MBR issues
Fdisk /mbr
The MS-DOS command Fdisk /mbr rewrites the MBR on the hard disk, to resolve MBR
corruptions. This command is useless if your computer is infected with MBR viruses ,they will again reinfect the new MBR sector and the issue persists. Hardware specialists are not recommending this command to fix MBR issues and they recommend the second Fdisk command - Fixmbr.
Fixmbr - command to fix MBR in Recovery Console
It is another DOS command to fix MBR corruptions. It also work as the Fdisk /mbr command.The fixmbr command is only available from within the Recovery Console in Windows 2000 and above. In fixmrb command we can specify the location of master boot record if we are not going to fix the mbr of master boot device. The the command look like:
fixmbr (device name)
You need to boot your computer using Windows disk in order to use fixmbr command.
Steps to run Fixmbr on your computer
1. Restart computer
Restart your computer with Windows CD where DVD/CD drive is the primary boot device.
2. Recovery console
Press the R key to start the Recovery Console when it prompts.
3. In
Recovery Console command prompt, type fixmbr and follow the instructions
Note: It is dangerous to play with MBR without proper knowledge about it. Any mistakes can make your computer non-bootable.

How to Check the speed/Frequency of RAM on your computer
Usually you will get enough information from the label on the RAM. If you are unable to get information from the label, you can get the details from the BIOS. To log on to BIOS press [F2] or [Del] { Depends on the computer manufacturers the key to enter BIOS may change} while booting your computer. On the main page of BIOS itself you can get the RAM details like the slot where RAM inserted, Size of RAM module, Frequency /Speed of RAM module etc.
So the steps to know the details of RAM from BIOS are:
1. Boot your computer
2. Press [F2] or [Del] as told in the motherboard manual
3. Enter BIOS
4. Get the RAM details from the main page itself
It is always remember that RAM is of many types. They are
1. SD RAM
2. DDR RAM
3. DDR 2 RAM
4. DDR3 RAM
Some motherboards cannot recognize some RAMs. So it is very important to make sure that the RAM you are purchasing is supported by your motherboard.
The Frequency of RAM is also really important. If you are adding the extra RAM module to your computer ,make sure that the new one has the same frequency of the older RAM module.
After all it is important to know the warranty period of RAM. Some vendors offer one year warranty while others offer three year. It is preferable to go for higher warranty period.

The major reasons for processor overheats are :
1. CPU fan failed to work
2. Heat sink issue
3. Dust inside the cabinet
4. Flow of hot air from cabinet blocked
5. PC Overclocking
If there is any heat related issues happen in your computer, at first place we should check your cabinet fan and processor fan. If the fans in your computer cabinet is not working properly, it can increase the temperature inside the CPU.
Another reason is heat sink may be not doing its job properly. Heat sink is the device which is designed to remove over heat from processor to surrounding air and keep the processor cool. The dust inside the cabinet can indirectly increase the temperature inside your computer cabinet. It can reduce the speed and functionality of your computer fan.
Another major reason for CPU overheating is the denial of free flow of hot air from your computer cabinet. This can increase the temperature inside your computer cabinet. PC overclocking too can increase the temperature produced by your CPU.
Solutions to avoid PC overheating issues
The first step we should do is to check whether the fans in your cabinet are working properly or not. If there is any issue with fans, change the fan immediately. Changing heat sink and revert back overclocking are other options to reduce computer overheating. Always make sure that hot air flow from your computer is not blocked by surrounding materials. If there is any dust inside your cabinet, clean that.

Can I connect two Computers using USB cable
There is one common
misunderstanding present among newbies in computer networking. Many think like
we can connect two computers directly by only using Ethernet cables and not by
USB cables. They argue like USB cable is not designed to connect two computers
directly. But it is old man's story and connecting two computers using USB
cable is so easy as connecting two computers using Ethernet cable.
USB cable use to connect two computers
The type of USB cable which is used to connect two computers directly is called Bridged USB cable. It is available in two different USB standards. They are USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 ,
The difference of standard is based on the speed of data transfer. In USB 1.1 the data transfer speed is 12 Mbps and that in USB 2.0 is 480 Mbps. It is very important to note that no other USB cables are designed for the purpose of connecting two computers directly. Using wrong USB cables to connect two computers may harm the USB ports of your computers.
Modes of working of Bridge cable
The bridged USB cable works in two different modes. They are
1. Link mode
2. Network Mode
In link mode two computers are connected through the bridged USB cable and the file sharing is enabled. In network mode multiple computers are connected and in addition to the file sharing the Internet too shared.
So it is very important to note that using wrong USB cables may harm your computer. So you should use Bridge USB cables to connect two computers directly.
Intel D945GCNL Motherboard reviews and latest driver download
In this blog post I am going to
write the motherboard reviews of Intel D945GCNL. First of all when we select a
mother board we are curious to know which processors are supported by this
motherboard. The supported processors includes
Processors supported by Intel D945GCNL Motherboard
1. Intel® Core™2 Duo processor,
2. Intel® Pentium® D processor
3. Intel® Pentium® 4 processor
4. Intel® Celeron® D processor
The RAM which is supported by Intel D945GCNL is DDR 2 with frequency 533 MHz and DDR2 with 667 MHz. It is noted that Intel D945GCN mother board support up to 2 GB system RAM.
Peripheral Devices on Intel D945GCNL
1. One serial port
2. Four Serial ATA interfaces
3. One parallel port
4. One Parallel ATA IDE interface with UDMA 33, ATA-66/100 support
5 PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports
6. One diskette drive interface
7. Eight USB ports
The negative side I am seeing with this mother board is "it is supporting maximum 2 GB RAM". When I used this mother board with Windows XP, Vista and Ubuntu Linux it is pretty good. I told by some of my friends that this mother board is best in Windows XP and Vista but not very much good for Linux users.
Unable to start your computer - Disk Boot Failure
On the week end days I was a
little bit busy with troubleshooting my friend's old desktop computer. His
computer was a dead one and I want to make it alive. He had not been using this
computer for last 4 months. We started a fresh installation of Windows XP on his
computer as the issue was crashed OS. After reboot we couldn't make it to run
,we received one Disk Boot Failure error
message . We just followed the below troubleshooting steps and
isolate the actual reason of the issue. Here I am presenting the way I
troubleshooted the issue. I used some of my hardware experience and many online
tutorials.
Steps to fix the issue Disk Boot Failure
The steps we followed are:
1. Log on to BIOS and reset the BIOS settings
We heard that if the booting option in BIOS went wrong we may receive the error message Disk Boot Failure and cannot boot the computer. We press the [F2] just after power on the system. At first we failed to log on to the BIOS but in a continues attempts some how we get in to the BIOS. Fortunately there was no BIOS password , otherwise it will be a herculean task to log on to BIOS in a corrupted computer.
[ In case if you need to log on to BIOS and forgot the BIOS password follow the steps in the post given below.

We reset the boot option and set hard disk the first priority.
2. Unplugged the devices and reconnect it
The second option was make your hands dirty. We opened the computer case and disconnect the BUS and cleaned the devices. Yea a lot of dust was inside the cabinet. We cleaned it and reconnect the devices like hard disk,DVD writer, RAM ,mother board etc. Some after this step the stupid computer start run without any issue. So our assumption is the issue was with some loos connection or dust issues.
Here I am not going to stop writing as I am extending this post with other available troubleshooting steps which we didn't try.
3. Presence of non compatible hardware devices
It is possible that after connecting some non compatible hardware on your computer you may receive the error message Disk Boot Failure and the system fails to boot properly. So it is always advised to disconnect the last added hardware and check for the issue.
4. Corrupted OS or improper partitions
Some times due to the improper partition of the hard-disk may cause this error. Another important reason is corrupted Operating System. If the OS installed on your computer corrupted ,you cannot boot your computer. These two are very important possibilities.
5. Failed Hard disk
Another reason for "Disk Boot Failure" is hard disk failure. If the hard disk drive went wrong you cannot load OS to the memory and the system boot will fail. So to check this error you need to check whether the hard-disk went wrong or not. You can perform it by connecting your hard disk as the slave of another hard drive and check if this disk is detected by the computer or not. If not it is the time to purchase a new hard disk.
6. Mother board issue.
Another rare reason is mother board failure. Some times this error message will come as a result of mother board issues. It is advised to check your mother board if the issue is not related to hard disk and other possible reasons mentioned above.
