Adding Memory to Your Computer

Your computer will lag behind and you want to give it a boost? Add them to memory.

By increasing the RAM on your computer's hard drive, which is slower, be less stressed when you open multiple windows or tabs at the same time,
when you manipulate large files when you launch your software when you play, etc. .

In the end, then you will reap improved performance of your computer and a greater working comfort. Whether to improve the performance of a desktop,
a laptop or netbook, adding memory is accessible to everyone.

Just as a first step to check the type and characteristics of the memory used by your computer to see which modules you must buy (DDR, DDR2, DDR3 SO-DIMM, ...) and how much memory you can add. The number of memory connector on the laptop is indeed limited. The manufacturer is Crucial to this analysis tool free online that will automatically give you this information.

Then, by a simple trapdoor under your laptop and your netbook and directly into the housing of your computer, you can easily add your new module and extend
the capacity of RAM your computer.

All you need to finally verify that the module is properly recognized by your computer and Windows.

Find memory compatible with your computer:

With the Crucial manufacturer's online scan tool, you can easily find the type of memory your computer's speed, but also the quantity that you can add.
~So open Crucial site and click the Scan button on my system under Tools Crucial System Scanner.
~Check the box By checking this box and clicking ... and click Scan my system.
~In the dialog box that appears, click Run.
~Allow the program to then make changes to your computer by clicking Yes.
~Your browser is then open to a page showing the results of the analysis. The amount of memory installed, the type and number of free sites are listed. Here,
two memory locations are present which is already used by a module 2GB
~Information on the system manufacturer and model of motherboard are also shown.
~Fill out the form with the information: the manufacturer of your computer or your motherboard in the case of a PC assembler, the range and the model name.
Click Search.
~The service presents you with the recommended memory module for your computer.
~Below, the characteristics of your computer or your motherboard are shown. We learn here that the maximum amount of memory is 4GB
~In our case, we have a site made by 2GB of memory, 1 free slot and 4 GB may not be exceeded. The 2GB module is therefore proposed.

Windows, Linux and the limit of 3 GB:

Most operating systems like Windows or Linux are available in two versions: 32-bit and 64 bit. The difference between the two? The 32-bit Windows or
Linux knows how to use a maximum between 3 and 3.5 GB of memory (depending on your device: graphics card, sound card ... which require a memory area).

The 64-bit version has virtually no limit (Family Premium Windows 7 handles for example up to 16GB of memory).

Note that to use a 64 bit system, only the processor must be compatible 64-bit. Currently, almost all processors on the market are 64-bit,
32-bit processors is at least anecdotal. The Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, Core i7, Core i5, i3 Core, or AMD Athlon 64 X2, AMD Phenom X2/X3/X4/X6
are all built on a 64-bit architecture.

If you have a 32bit system, so there is virtually no interest in going beyond 3 GB of memory.

If you want to go beyond, turn to a 64 bit system. Note that the box of Windows 7 offers two versions: 32 and 64 bit and you can install the one you want. Also,
be aware that it is not possible to update a 32-bit Windows for 64-bit version. You will need to perform a full installation.

Adding memory to your Desktop:

Installing a new memory module in a computer is fairly simple and accessible to everyone. Here is how:
~ Unplug all cables and open the box.
~ Locate the slots for memory cards.
~ Spread the lugs memory locations.
~ Insert the memory module in an open location (right next to one used), making sure to align the notches on the card with the connector.
Keyed to two thirds of the bar and the connector allows you to put the card in the right direction.
~ Firmly press the memory module: the lugs just block the card. Make sure they are well adjusted.
~ Your memory modules are properly placed. Close the PC case and reconnect all cables.
~ Turn on your computer. From the start, the new strip and detected and the overall amount of memory your computer is updated.
~ Windows also recognizes the new amount of memory available.
~ Windows Vista and Windows 7, Windows Experience Index should also be updated.

Add memory to your laptop:

To add your new memory module in your laptop, it's very simple.
~ Turn off your first laptop, unplug it and remove the battery.
~ Turn your computer.
~ Using a small screwdriver, remove the screws from the plate called RAM, or CM. Please consult the documentation for your computer to know where
the memory modules.
~ If you replace a memory module, spread carefully and clamps at each end of the connector of the memory module until the module so.
Then remove the module from the connector.
~ Then install the new memory module. Align the notch on the edge of the module with the guide pin located in the connector slot.
Slide the module firmly into the slot at an angle of 45 degrees, then slide it down until you hear click.
~ Then store the cache memory and screws. Insert the battery in its bay, connect the adapter to your computer and restart your computer.
~ At startup, the computer detects the additional memory and automatically updates the system configuration information. Press any key (F1 in our case)
to continue booting.
~ To check the amount of memory installed, click the right mouse button on the My Computer icon on the desktop and choose the Properties command.
~ In the window that appears, the amount of memory recognized by Windows is displayed.

Add memory to its netbook:

Installing the new memory module is very simple and will take about ten minutes. At first, you must remove the memory module already installed,
which occupies this unique position in the netbook.
~ Shut down your Netbook.
~ Unplug it and disconnect all USB devices connected to it.
~ Close it and return it.
~ Locate the small door giving access to memory. This usually involves a small token of memory or memory includes an indication.
~ Remove the screws using a small screwdriver.
~ Remove the lid of the trap. The memory module appears.
~ Remove the clips at both ends of the memory module.
~ It rises.
~ Carefully remove the memory module.
~ Now that the site is free, you can install your new memory module. Take your new memory module.
~ I ntroduce him to his location, taking care to coding.
~ Push the memory module, while leaving the ramp.
~ Then press on down.
~ The mounting clips on the ends are then slipped into their sockets and lock the memory module.
~ Replace the lid and close it with its screw.
~ Turn your netbook, open it and start it. Note that you can reconnect if the battery is not charged enough.
~ The netbook starts normally.
~ Go to System Properties (right click on My Computer then Properties command). The 2 GB of RAM are well recognized.

How to Recover from System Crash

When a Blue Screen Occurs, you'd better be prepared for the worst. If you absolutely must have a backup of your documents,
your setup and your software, some settings in Windows can also make a difference if a problem occurs.

We advise you to reap that your computer is working properly to collect the maximum information about your hardware and software.
You will necessarily need to know the configuration of your equipment. Regarding software, if you have lost your serial numbers,
it's time to get to not be blocked if you ever need to reinstall Windows.

You absolutely must also configure your system to facilitate the diagnostic work and repair that you should carry in case of failure seriously.

Study hardware configuration:
Do you know exactly what components and devices are installed in your computer? Certainly not all ... But if you have a problem,
and want to determine its origin, it is essential to know your setup in detail. This information will be very useful, whether on a discussion forum or
the hotline for a hardware manufacturer.
~ Download Sisoft Sandra Lite from here and Install it on your system.
~ When this is done, run it by double-clicking for example on its icon on the desktop.
~ Open the Tools tab.
~ Double click on the Create Report.
~ Double click on the Next button.
~ Uncheck all boxes except Overview of the computer. Click Next.
~ In the section Benchmarks, uncheck all the boxes and click Next.
~ Do the same for headings and Software Support and double click on the Next button.
~ Scroll Distribution and choose Print and Fax.
~ Click the Browse button and click Next.
~ Select your printer and click on the button Print.
~ The report is then printed. Put it somewhere safe.

Get the serial numbers of programs:
If you need to reinstall your system, you will need the serial numbers of your programs. You have their installation CD but can not get their hands on the documentation containing the serial number. Do not worry, you have a second chance thanks to the software Advisor.
This free little program will allow you to find,
on your PC, the serial number of some of your software.
~ First of all you'll need to download Advisor and install it on your system.
~ Once installation is complete, it examines your system. After a few seconds, a web page appears.
~ In the section Software Licensing, serial numbers for software you have installed are displayed. Print the page and put it somewhere safe.

Save the system from getting crashed:
You can ask Windows to record in an event log, time and exact date of crashes occurring on your system. Next computers,
this setting can be enabled or not be.
To activate, you must edit the registry.

~ Click Start, then Run.
~ Enter regedit in the Open text box and click the OK button.
~ Pull the key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, CrashControl.
~ Create a new value called LogEvent (unless it already appears in the right frame of the window). Just click on the Edit menu, New, DWORD Value,
and name the value LogEvent.
~ Double-click on the latter, then enter 1 in the text box data value. Click OK.
~ Then close the Registry Editor and restart your computer for the change is applied.

Save the user environment after a crash:
In most crashes, you can also save all information from the user environment: user profile, permissions, etc.. in an event log.
This information can be used to investigate the causes of a problem.
Once again, it is necessary to modify the registry to enable this setting.
~ Click Start, then Run.
~ Enter regedit in the Open text box and click the OK button.
~ Pull the key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM, CurrentControlSet, Control, CrashControl.
~ Pull down the Edit menu, and click DWORD Value.

~ Double-click it to edit it. Select the category Hexadecimal Base.
~ Enter 10002 in the Value data field. Click OK.
~ Finally close the registry editor, then restart your computer for the change to take effect.

Saving the memory in case of crash:
When your system fails, you can create an image of the memory of your system that you can use to find the cause of the error.
You can choose between several types of memory dumps.
Complete memory: The full memory dump records the entire contents of memory before the system shuts down without explanation. Its size is equivalent to the amount of RAM installed on your computer, which you must add 1 Mo. It is therefore worth a lot of disk space to store this image. So if you have 512 MB of RAM, will dump a 512 + MB or 513 MB
Kernel memory: The kernel memory dump records only the memory allocated to the kernel of Windows XP, hardware, operating systems and programs executed by the system. It therefore excludes the memory allocated to software executed by users. The backup process on the hard disk and is accelerated in the event of a crash. The size of the kernel memory dump is approximately one third of the total amount of RAM installed on your computer. This type of image is most interesting, since it is much smaller than the complete memory dump, and it neglects only the memory areas that do not appear to have any relation with the problem.
Memory Dump: Finally, the memory dump records the minimum information necessary to identify the cause of the crash. The memory dump saves in less than 64 KB: the stop message and parameters, the list of drivers loaded, the process context, information on the process stopped, the information on thread that stopped.
The memory dump can be useful if you have limited disk space. But you have less chance of finding the cause of errors in the examination, because of the lack of information retrieved.

To set the type to create memory dump during a crash, you must change the system settings.
~ Click the right mouse button on My Computer, then choose Properties.
~ In the System Properties dialog box that opens, click the Advanced tab.
~ Then click the Settings button under Startup and Recovery.
~ Pull down list then Writing debug information, then select the type of image you want to create in a crash, Kernel memory, for example, and click OK.

Install the Recovery Console:
The Windows Recovery Console is designed to help you recover the system if your computer does not start properly or does not start at all.
The Recovery Console can be executed directly by starting your computer from the Windows XP CD. You can also install it on your computer for easier access.
Insert your Windows XP CD in your drive.
~Then click the Start button, then Run.
~Then enter in the Open text box the following command: E: \ i386 \ winnt32.exe / cmdcons where E: is the drive letter in which your Windows XP CD.
~Confirm the installation of the Recovery Console by clicking the Yes button in the dialog box that appears.
~If you are connected to the Internet, the installer tries to download the Recovery Console from the Microsoft website. Press ESC to install directly from your Windows XP CD.
~After a few seconds, a message appears to indicate that the Recovery Console is installed. Click OK, then restart your computer.
~When you next start the computer, Recovery Console will be added to Windows startup menu.

Improving the functionality of the Recovery Console:
By default, access to all drives and all folders on your hard drive and the diskette are not allowed in the Recovery Console. Only the folder where Windows is available.

To change this and allow you to access all folders on your hard drive and all your readers, which is convenient to perform a backup last minute of your sensitive documents, you need to change local security setting.
~Open the Control Panel by clicking Start, Settings, then Control Panel.
~Switch to Classic View if you're not there already, then double-click the Administrative Tools folder.
~Then double-click on Local Security Policy tool.
~In the Security Settings section, scroll element Local Policies, then click the Security Options folder.
~In the right frame of the window, double-click the policy Recovery Console: Allow floppy copy and access to all drives and folders.
~Click the Enabled option in the dialog box that appears, then confirm with OK. You can then close the Local Security Settings window.

Uses of DD Command

Linux provides a DD command which is the powerful UNIX utility. It makes use of Linux kernel makefiles to make boot images.
DD can be used to copy data from one device to another or from one location to another.
Administrator is the only person having rights to execute DD command. You can use the below DD command in Linux operating
system which will help you in various ways.

The uses of DD command are as follows:
~ If you want to take the backup data from one hard disk to another hard disk within the same system. The command is given below:
Code:
# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
~ In this “if” specifies input file name and “of” specifies the file where the data has to be copied. If you mention source device in target device and vice versa then you might loss all your data.
~ If you want to restore the hard disk with the image file of another hard disk then use the following command:
Code:
# dd if=hdadisk.img of=/dev/hdb
~ To copy the data from the floppy into the image format you need to type the following command:
Code:
# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=myfloppy.img
In the input file specify the name of floppy location and in output give the name of floppy image file.
~Type the below command to read data from one location and write it to another location. The command is given below:
Code:
dd if= of= bs= ("USUALLY" some power of 2, and usually not less than 512 bytes (ie, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, but can be any reasonable whole integer value.) skip= seek= conv=< conversion >
~ If you want to remove CD, DVD or USB from the system then type the below command. This command will rescue it from the system.
Code:
ddrescue -b 2048 -d -e 20 -r 300 -v /dev/hdc /home/sam/dvd.iso log.txt
~ You can backup a partition. For taking the backup you need to specify the partition name in input file and then specify the path or image file where you want to take backup. The dd command for taking backup is given below:
Code:
# dd if=/dev/hda1 of=~/partition1.img
~You can create an iso file from the source file. So we can enter the CD or DVD and create an iso file from the data contained in them. The dd command for creating iso is given below:
Code:
# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=tgsservice.iso bs=2048
Thus dd command reads one block at time, executes it and writes to the targeted output file.
