After 2 years plus using this MSI Nvidia 8500GT graphic card, finally is sick, where the VGA fan is broken.

Luckily my motherboard has on-board video, temporary i’ve removed  the graphic card, and use the built in display.  This is the advantage of buying a motherboard with built in display, in case anything happen to graphic card, u can still use your PC.

Tomorrow need to look for new VGA fan, see whether this card can run or not…

I’ve been using this cute little phone for few weeks. As a phone, overall is better than my previous Toshiba G900.  Moreover, i’ve upgraded the N2 OS from version 2.1.552.2 to 2.1.552.5. (* did not notice what is the changes in newest version..)

Anyway, in case u need to replace the 1GB storage to higher capacity, u need to install the OS. Below is the guide of doing a clean installation on new storage card.

Resources needed:

Neonode N2 OS  and manual, where u can download at www.neonode.com.

First, turn off your N2 and connect it to your PC through the USB cable, backup all your files.

*It will act like a removable drive.

Second, run the Nero.exe program. Click “Change”.

Select your desire languages.

Then, click “Advance”. U can see there are 2 option, “clean installation” and “Format SD”. For upgrade OS only, choose “clean installation”. Whereas for new storage card, click “Format SD”. After formatted SD, u need to run the Nero.exe again for installation.

Once finished copied the files to your N2, your N2 will start installing the OS.

Search Engine Giant- Google has launched their free, global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution service. The DNS protocol is an important part of the web’s infrastructure, serving as the Internet’s phone book: every time you visit a website, your computer performs a DNS lookup. Complex pages often require multiple DNS lookups before they start loading, so your computer may be performing hundreds of lookups a day.

By using Google Public DNS you can:

• Speed up your browsing experience.
• Improve your security.
• Get the results you expect with absolutely no redirection.

Google Public DNS IP addresses are as follows:

• 8.8.8.8
• 8.8.4.4

My friend’s Compaq SR5252AP desktop PC having this Blue Screen On Death (BSOD) error code of “0×0000C1F5″ when booting after some update issue on his Vista OS. For u guys info, this desktop is designed for Vista OS, thus only Vista drivers are available to download. PS: This PC only comes with 512MB, which is not enough to run Vista smoothly…

Causes:

• $TxfLog file is corrupted
• Clfs.sys driver (Common Log File System driver) fails to fix $TxfLog file corruption

• Common Log File System or CLFS is the logging system used by Windows for creating high-performance transaction logs. It is accessed by both user-mode and kernel-mode applications. Its driver file is termed as Clfs.sys.

Solution:

• If you have installed more than one hard disk into the system, you should simply remove the disk on which the $TxfLog file is damaged and doesn’t contain Windows Vista.
• In case you are using only one disk in your system, you can restart the system using an earlier operating system (like Windows XP or Windows 2000) installation disc and use it reformat the hard disk to reinstall Windows Vista. You should restore your lost data from your previous backup.

Since my friend’s recovery manager is not working, thus no choice but to delete the partition and reinstalled new Vista OS…

Previously, i’ve posted the installation of Window XP using USB flash drive. This time, we move to install linux using USB flash drive. To create bootable Live USB drives for linux is much more easier, thanks to UNetbootin.It is a great tool that  allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for a variety of Linux distributions from Windows or Linux, without requiring you to burn a CD. Tools that we required:

• UNetbootin
• USB flash drive with more than 1GB storage
• Linux ISO (optional)

Linux ISO is optional because it can be download through UNetbootin if u do not has the image file.

1. Download & install UNetbootin. Plug in USB flash drive and run UNetbootin.

2. By selecting Distribution, when we select desire linux distro, where it can automatic download the respective ISO.


If we already downloaded the Linux ISO, we can select Disk Image and browse to the ISO file.

3. Job completed once finish compile data to usb drive.
