Common Computer Issue


Just about every day either at work or home, it appears that some people are having problem with their computer system from either setting it up to troubleshooting which would be pretty simple to do by a experience computer literate person. I know people who have problem figuring out how to at least power the system up. People like me that know a lot about computer couldn’t figure out why people have so much problem operating a computer system, but then I realized that a lot of people do need help with their system. I’m going to explain to you some common things that you should at least know about your computer system.

Every wonder what actually occur as soon as you press the power button on your computer. Okay here it goes. When you press the power button, the computer initiate program called Power-On Self Test (POST). Its mission is to check the basic component in your computer system like hard drive, video card, keyboard, mouse, etc. If everything is all well, then the computer system will go into the next boot stage which is, the Boot Process. You can customize whether or not you would like your system to boot up to the CD drive, hard drives, Memory Stick. I recommend that you leave it at the default setting which is boot up to the hard drive. The computer basically is looking for a Windows Operating System.

Some system automatic boot up to the primary hard drive anyway. When your system finds a operating system it continue to open that operating that system and you will see the Window Logo and after other applications will be loaded.

When you purchase a computer system you need to ensure that you have some sort of antivirus software on it. I recommend either Norton or McAfee. You want antivirus software that gives you total system protection against viruses, hackers, phishing, etc. You want to do this before you either get on the internet or install programs on your computer. By doing this, you minimize the chances of getting an unwanted guess lurking inside your computer.

If you have a question about a computer, Please Leave a comment.

Your Favorite Food Become Your Worst Nitemare

Have you ever had a favorite food when you was young and later stop eaten it? Well it happen to me. I remember I was in elementary school and my favorite dish was liver. I really loved liver so much. I made liver sandwiches and hoping that my parents would buy it every day so I can sneak into the refrigerator and make a sandwich. I was taking a science class in elementary school and my teacher was showing us by slide presentation the different parts of a human being and they identify the liver in a human body and it made me sick in my stomach.

When I got home, I ask my parent if we really had a liver in our body, and they said that we all do. From that point, my love for liver was over. I would not ever eat liver because now that I know that we all have a liver inside our bodies, I think its quite gross to eat.

It’s funny that I started out loving a certain food and to cut off my love for it like a person switching a light switch to the off position.

Have this ever happen to you or Do you have a similar story?

Follow Your Heart

We all make choices and hoping that the choices you made keep you on your career path. One cannot predict what going to happen tomorrow, but you can greatly increase the chances that you are still on the right path by listening to your heart. There was a saying ole saying that if you have to think too hard about anything that will somehow affect your life, then you risk the chance choosing the wrong path. We know within whether or not we are making the right choice. We need to believe in ourselves and trust our heart, because your heart will never stray you from the truth.

Instead of doubting yourself and your abilities, you have to stand up and say to yourself "YES I CAN" and by doing so boost your adrenaline and give you the confident necessary to a successful goal. Some of us are so fast to give up dreams because someone they know might had told them that they are not going to reach their goal. If someone had ever told you this then let them say whatever they want because what they want to do is to get into a pissing contest (Argument) with you. That is nothing but a distraction on you our life that we can't afford to pay attention to.

Think of it as a test in your faith. Their no need to belittle yourself. If someone tells you that you not going to do this or you not going to that, then you can use that as your strength to show them that anything possible if you put your mind into it. My advice to you all is to always stay positive no matter what situation arises. Let me add that sometime other people comment with actually help you. You will just have to make that determination yourself by following your heart.

Soldiers Excuses

Its' funny to hear the same old excuses over and over again in the military. I was once a Private in the U.S. Army and our first formation is at 0630 and there are several times when I use the same excuses that younger soldiers now are still using when they are late for work. I called it, “THE ALARM CLOCK ORDEAL". The excuses that soldiers use when they are late for formations are as follows:

o My alarm clock battery died was the reason why they were late.
o The power went out (This person should of had an battery in his alarm clock)
o Wife was mad and reset the alarm clock to a different time (ISSUES RIGHT!!!!)
o I had set the alarm clock to at 4:30am but it never went off (Liar!!!!)

Other Excuses are as Follows:

o Wife had kept me up all night yelling at me
o Wife was blocking the door preventing me to leave for work
o Wife lost my car keys
o My car wouldn't crank up because my battery is dead
o I forgot my Military ID card at home.
o There was an accident on the road and I was helping them out
o Oh let's not forget "I had a HANGOVER FROM PARTYING LAST NIGHT” ( this soldier
Is an idiot)

There are alot more excuses than this. The surprising thing is that you will actually hear excuses that you use when you were young soldiers. I sitting on over 18 years of Military Service, and still, I hear the same excuses over and over again. If you don't believe it, then stay in this long in the Army and you will hear it.
