Performance as new from an aged computer!


Desktop computers start to get problems in three years of their purchase. My computer had problems either one after the other at a time, or had combined-in-one as problem that made me much frustrated when repairing it. But I found out now that it can do perform to its best as a new one by simply replacing a few of its low performing parts, plastic parts, and checking & tightening the contacts! Read here about what I did for it!
I found the computer to restart often. While checking the Bios, it gave the information that the processor temperature is gradually increasing to 100' C and above! And that there is no Hard disc at all in the CPU! So, I replaced first the processor cooling fan that has slowed down in its speed. Next, I  


replaced the UPS itself, as its plastic parts had turned brittle making electric sparks at the contact points. Then I found the wire bundles hanging loosely lower down in the space inside the CPU; they obstructed the free airflow from the side wise cooling fan on to the processor fan. So, I fastened that wire bundle with a twine to the hardware fitting frame. When I inspected the hard disc area, I noted the contact wires to be loosely fitting with it. I had purchased earlier a new contact wire and connected it with the hard disc, replacing the old one. It is an incompatibly of newer wiring products with that of the older version hard discs! I connected the plug head of the wire with a twine tightly fastening to the hardware fitting frame. Now, the plug fitted snugly within the socket of the hard disc. Hoping next nothing out of my efforts, I started the computer. I was surprised!


The computer worked by itself! No restarting problem! Extended hours of work - more than four hours and longer surpassing laptops! Bios too confirmed the lower cooled down temperature of processor and the presence of hard disc!

Making computer fit again!


For the past four months I found my computer in repaired condition quite often. I could not continue using it, as whenever I started to use it, it went off. The matter was that its hard disc drive had become old enough to be replaced with a new one. The problem was noted when the computer went to the status of showing up these messages like 'Start windows normally' etc. repeatedly - that too as soon as it booted or even before it booted! I tried all measures that I came to know - like removing any unused/defective DVD-RW, etc.; but all of them failed. Computer mechanic was called; he tried by removing the Operating System and installing a new one; as this too was a failure, he replaced the Hard Disc Drive (HDD) with a new one. But even that too failed frustrating the mechanic himself. Puzzled, he then carried the CPU to his worktable and tweaked it; after two or three attempts he was successful somehow and brought back the CPU with a triumphant smile on his face. Now I have my computer as it was four years back in a fit condition - to blog again!
