Personal Computer Components: Power Supplies

Introduction:

A computer's power supply converts electricity received from a wall outlet (120V AC in the U.S.A.) into DC current amounts that are needed by the various components of the system. The back of the power supply has a plug for the cord that goes to the wall outlet. There are 2 different types of power supplies that correspond to 2 different types of motherboards, and hence, case designs.

Voltage Switch:

Most power supplies have a switch on the back that sets the power supply to 115 or 230 volts (for European countries). Setting this switch to 230 in the U.S. won't damage anything, but the PC probably won't boot, or will shut down in the process. Setting this switch to 115 volts in Europe, will fry the power supply and possibly other components in the computer. Make sure the switch is in the correct position if there is one.

Wattage:

Every device in a PC uses power which means that you need to have a power supply with enough wattage to run the system. If you have a 250 Watt power supply for a server with 10 hard drives, there are going to be problems. In fact, it may not boot up all the way. Power supplies for new computers are almost always capable of handling normal loads. If you are going to add a ton of drives or new devices to a system, that is when you might consider upgrading the power supply.

Power Connectors:

For most current PCs the ATX power supply is the standard. There are slight variations such as the 12v and 12v 2.0, but for the most part power supplies for desktops are pretty standardized, although newer BTX power supplies are a different size and shape than the ATX type. Power supplies offer 12, 5 and 3.3 volt currents to power the various electronics in a computer. This is done via power cables coming out of the power supply. Below are some of the common power connector types.

P1 Power Connector - ATX power supplies use a single 20 or 24 pin (on newer versions) to connect to the system board. Some motherboards require an additional 4, 6, or 8 pin auxiliary power connector. Power connectors are keyed to make sure that the connector is plugged in properly.

SATA Connectors - SATA hard drives use a special 15 pin power connector. This connector supports 3.3, 5, and 12 volt devices. Make sure your power supply has one of these or you can get a molex to SATA adapter if it doesn't.

Molex Connectors - These connectors are used for connecting IDE hard drives, DVD and CD drives, and other devices that require 5 or 12 volts of power. These are keyed to prevent plugging them in upside-down, however, it is possible to do and will cause serious problems/damage to the system.

Mini Connectors - These connectors also supply 5 or 12 volts, but are basically only used to connect floppy drives. These are even easier to plug in upside-down.

Laptop Power:

Laptops and portables utilize an external power supply and rechargeable battery system. Batteries were typically nickel-cadmium, but newer techologies have introduced nickel metal-hydride and lithium-ion batteries that provide extended life and shorter recharge times. Lithium batteries are also used to power a computer's CMOS ROM.

Installation/Removal

To remove a power supply from a PC, follow these steps:

Unplug the computer from the wall

Disconnect all of the internal power connections(i.e. CD Rom, Motherboard, hard disk, etc)

Remove the 4 retaining screws

Pull power supply out of the computer

Repeat these steps in opposite order to install a power supply

Troubleshooting:

Power supply problems can be some of the most difficult to diagnose particularly when the problem is intermittent. Often the fuse in a power supply will blow and you may actually hear a pop and/or smell smoke. Oftentimes, if you shake the power supply, you will hear a rattle. This means it is dead and needs to be replaced. You should not open the power supply and replace the fuse or try to fix any other part of it. There are capacitors inside that hold a charge and power supplies are way too inexpensive to risk injury on.

Intermittent problems can display a wide range of symptoms from not booting correctly, to errors, to locking up after a period of use. It is a good idea to keep a spare on hand for troubleshooting.

Urdu Ash'aaaa'R

Us Fiza Mein Bhi Jalta Raha Main..

Us Fiza Mein Bhi Jalta Raha Main Kisi ke Liye,

Jaha Chirag Bhi Taraste Thhe Roshni ke Liye

JisKa Dar Tha Wohi Haadsa Ho Gaya...

JisKa Dar Tha Wohi Haadsa Ho Gaya...

UsKa MujSe Alag Rasta Ho Gaya...

Wo Chala THA Thaam Kar Haath Mera Magar...

Beech Raste Me MujSe Juda Ho Gaya...

Koi Saaya Nahi Tha Kadi Dhoop Me...

Dil Pighalte Pighalte Fana Ho Gaya...

Mene Dekha Jise,,

Mene Socha Jise,,

JisKo Chaha Wo hi Be-wafa Ho Gaya...

Mera naam likh kar mitate kyun ho....?

Mera naam likh kar mitate kyun ho....?

Mujhe Yaad Kar Ke Bhulate kyun ho..?

Kehte Ho Ki Mujhse Mohabbat Nahi,

Chhupke Se Aansu Bahate Kyo Ho....!!!

Muhabbat ke safar me koi rasta nahi deta

Zameen wakif nahi banti falak saya nahi deta

Muhabbat ke safar me............

Gham aur dukh sub ke apne hote hain

koi kisi ko apne hisay ka Lamha nahi deta

Udaasi jis ke dil me ho usi ki neend urti hai

Koi kisi ko apni ankhon ka sapna nahi deta

Uthana khud hi parta hai tanhai aur gham ka badan apna

Ke jab tak saans chalti hai koi kandha nahi deta.

Kash zindagi ki raahon me ishQ Na mily

Is be-dard zamane se kuch na mily

Hum Afsos Q Kare k koi humen na mila

Arey Afsos toh wo kare jise hum na mily♥

To Remove Recent Excel Files

Recently I have been playing around with MS Office 2007.
The new interface looks great, and by the time you get used to it, I think that you’d never want to go back to previous versions.
By pressing the round Office Button, which is located on the top left corner of each Office application, the “File” menu is being displayed. On the right side of this menu, there is a useful list of the recently used documents. The number of the “Recent Documents” to be displayed can be changed through the Advanced options. However there is no option to delete this list of files.
Imagine that you share a computer with other people, and you wish to view some private Office files, and then leave no trace behind. Well, I did a search on the Windows Registry, and found the keys that store these information.
For Word 2007, use the Registry Editor (type regedit on the Start->Run menu), and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\File MRU
Delete some or all of the listed items on the right frame, and restart Word 2007 to see the changes.
This works with all Office applications, not just Word, simply navigate to the appropriate registry entry.
The image below is showing the Excel 2007 “Recent Documents” data on the Registry.
