Motherboard

What is a motherboard ??

A motherboard (also known as the mainboard, system board, planar board or logic board) is the main PCB found in computers and other expandable systems. It holds many of the crucial electronic components of the system, such as the CPU, memory, and processor.

The function of the computer motherboard is to act as the main circuit board that connects and communicates to all the devices and components attached. The motherboard also facilitates the communication of devices with each other. Motherboards are designed around the type of central processing unit (CPU) that will be installed. Because motherboards act as the base for all other computer components, the number of PCI slots, USB headers, memory slots, SATA headers, and other slots should be checked ahead of time before building a personal computer.

A typical desktop computer has its microprocessor, main memory, and other essential components connected to the motherboard. Other components such as external storage, controllers for video display and sound, and peripheral devices may be attached to the motherboard as plug-in cards or via cables, in modern computers it is increasingly common to integrate some of these peripherals into the motherboard itself.


An important component of a motherboard is the microprocessor's supporting chipset, which provides the supporting interfaces between the CPU and the various buses and external components. This chipset determines, to an extent, the features and capabilities of the motherboard.

What are the reasons for mother board failure? 

1. First and most common reason is heat. Keep cabinet ventilated to prevent high temperature inside the box.
2. Check your Fan speed, if it is not normal then hurry up!! repair it.
3. Dust also cause problems. clean your pc regularly and prevent it from the dust environment.
4. Use static power supply, put power controller to prevent your pc from unregulated ac power supply.
5. Do not install the software that cause damage your system. Use only trusted and light software if possible. 
6. Do not play the games which require high processing power ( before installation, see whether it is suitable to your configuration or not.)   
7. Keep your pc free from viruses and worms , they put extra overload on processor.
8. When everything is going well, don't ever upgrade BIOS without right upgrade files.
9. Do not play with BIOS and RAM if you don't know properly about it.

How to terminate processes in ubuntu??

In windows we can easily terminate the process by

• ctrl+alt+del 
• right click on program name
• go to process
• end process.

but in Linux , it is not that much easy, u have to follow the terminal steps:

example: to close firefox process.

• Open terminal (ctrl+alt+t)
• type command : ps auxwww | grep firefox
• u will get some table , in which u find process IDs
• type command : kill 2348 (note: 2384 is process id, it is different each time )

Kill process is very useful when your program is not responding.

Don't use Free() more than once for same pointer

To use Free() more than once cause a "FATAL ERROR" .
"FATAL ERROR" cause CRASH the program,
and because of which we get a segmentation fault as error...

sometime it also make problem when we are doing program in group. one member frees the pointer while actually another fellow is using same pointer.
so never try to use Free() more than once for same pointer.

When you try to open any exe file or say shortcuts then it opens in vlc media player that is horrible. I have found some solutions try them .

1.  click here  and fix it.
   If you are unable to open Internet Explorer to access the link, hit the Windows key plus r on your keyboard and copy and paste the below command in the Open Box (this assumes that W7 is installed on your C drive):
   
   rundll32 shell32.dll, ShellExec_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe"
2. download and install
   Fix .exe : click here to download

why you not recieving any sms from internet sms website???

Aren't you receiving any SMS from various online free daily sms sender or is you phone no more has any notifications of new sms's, that is because of change in the TRAI rule, most of them are not receiving messages from the usual sources where they used to get. The rule was passed to protect consumer privacy from SMS spammers.
You must be shocked to see such kind of errors even while sending the message from sites like Way2sms, 160by2 or any other online free sms sending sites or even from Google Labs.

SMS440.com Error: DND Number, Cant send message.

Way2sms error: Submission Failed. Mobile Number is in DND

To receive SMS from Google Channel Labs/ Way2sms/ 160by2 without any problem, you have to de-register from National Do Not Call Registry(NDNC) by sending an SMS from your mobile

STOP DND to 1909. 

Which is a toll free number and you would not be charged for sending this message.


In short it means you have registered for Do Not Call(DNC) earlier and now you are de-registering.

Why bother to learn "C language" Today??

Now a days there  are many superior languages are available like C++, java, C# etc, then why to learn C??? There are several reasons for this , as follows-

1. I believe that nobody can learn such higher languages like C++,java,C# directly because it has things like classes, objects, polymorphism, Exception handling etc..we can learn this complicated components easily when we are comfortable with basics. So we can learn this basics easily with C.
2. Major parts of popular Operating Systems like windows, linux ,UNIX are still written in C.
    
3. Embedded Systems like Microwave ovens , washing Machines , digital cameras are getting smarter day by day. This smartness comes from OS and Smart Programs . These programs not have to only run fast but also have to run in limited amount of memory. No wonder that such C programs are written in C.
4. In 3D computer games speed is essential component. So for fastness C language scores over other languages.
5. At time one is required to very closely interact with hardware devices. Since C provides several language elements that makes this interaction feasible without compromising the performance.
