Help restoring my computer after Win8 Installation?

I restored my Win8 installation, and now my speakers no longer work. My Subwoofer works but my speakers dont. Mentioned Device manager but when I was there, I was unable to get my speakers to work. They simply say "high definition audio device" 6 times or "speakers 3" twice. How can I get my speakers back, also my computer always thinks its muted but the woofer does work.

1 more thing, now of my function +F buttons work. They do nothing now, how can i get those back as well?

Do one thing just unistall the audio drivers first. Go to control panel and remove the realtek high definition audio drivers and restart your system. Now insert your Mainboard CD into drive and try to install the Realtek HD audio drivers. If not installed, try by troubleshoot compatibility and install them.

There are other ways to install audio drivers. right click on my computer-go to manage-device manager, find the audio device and right click on it follow the onscreen instructions and show the path to your CD drive (where your MB cd is placed) it automatically searched for compatible drivers on CD and installs drivers of audio.

Restart your PC. that's done!!!

How to figure out my GHz on computer?

I installed new hardware on my pc. I used to have 6gb of ram and intel integrated graphics. I know have a ATI radeon hd 4600 series graphics card and I have a total of 8GB of RAM. my old computer speed according to system information was 3.0 ghz. how can i find my updated speed? I have a intel core i5 btw.

 

Already you have 6 gb of ram and you upgraded to 8 GB of ram, installed 2 gb of ram. There is upgradation in ram not in the processor, so the proccessor spped remians same. If you are using your computer daily you will notice there is some speed in processing applications and improvement in system performance.

RAM's are moduled with mhz speed it depends on the which model your using like SDR, DDR, DDR2 and DDR3, for every model there is change in mhz(speed) of RAM.

DDR3 is the recent release in the market. You can check in details about your system benchmark, hardware..etc using this software.

Will partitioning slow down games?

I want to split my C drive up into C and D partitions. I am planning on putting all my games (very new one's) and personal data on D: and C: for system OS and applications. How much data for games on my D partition slow them down? is it a notice able slowdown? or will it only slow down loading times and not actual game performance? it is a 500gb HDD 5400rpm I am planning to do 80 or 100 for C: (curently using only up 25 GB) (should i just make it 50 for partition c?) and the rest for D:

Before installing any Game check for the requirements of that Game because the requirements of that game only monitors. As your C drive is have 100 gb you can make it partition. You must know the how much space occupies by that game this information is available in system requirements of that game and better dont install the game in C drive because if that game occupies 30 GB of data that might slow down your system and performance aswell.

Make sure that system requirements of that particular game meets your system configuration. Recommended partition for the C drive or primary partition is 50 GB. Minimum of 50 GB is required for the C drive to install an OS.

Vintage pieces of furniture also look authentic. They can also be painted with a coat of whitewash.

Floors – Wooden floors are difficult to maintain. They require to be polished often to ensure that they last long, thus, increasing the maintenance costs to a great extent. Therefore, the cost-effective solution to make the floors last long is to paint them white. The colors of the carpet and the rugs should be in co-ordination with the color of the floor. Therefore, opt for darker colors that are in contrast to the white floors. 

Colors – The colors that are best suited for the walls are neutral colors, like white, cream and beige, as well as light shades of primary colors, like green and yellow. Pale colors, like blue and pink are also common wall colors. The frames of window can be painted white to make the rooms appear bright as these cottages have dim lighting.

The above details will give you some idea about the décor of a typical rural cottage.

When ever i install an antivirus I get disconnected from the internet?

As if you are using windows 7 and avast antivirus, I think the antivirus blocking all the applications which you are using.

You might need to know which applications you are using. Some antivirus lets the users decide the behavior or permissions of a application, after installing antivirus they asks you the permission to connect to the internet. If that application is trusted, you know that application you can allow the application or in case you can block it.

Windows Firewall is also blocks certain application that are related to 3rd party application. If the application given by the Microsoft that is the trusted software so in this case windows firewall allows that application to access internet with out any intimation. If that application related to 3rd party, you were asked to connect to internet, in here windows firewall asks you the permission if that is trusted or you know that software you can grant access.

All internet security software's have permission grant access feature. In here we need allow each application to grant access to internet.  

How come my computer says it has connection but it has no internet acces?

There might be n number of reasons if there is no internet access.

Firstly check with the hardware you are using for your lan card and LAN card drivers should be updated prior to the vendor. If there are no correct or updated drivers the lan card is incompatible with the OS. It may not work properly.

Second thing make sure you know how to connect to internet by assigning IP address to connect into a LAN. If you are using a router or modem as per their configurations sometimes IP is assigned automatically by DHCP.

If you are using a modem, you need to create a dial up connection according to your internet service provider and a username and password required.

if you are connecting to a switch or router , make sure the lan cable(cat5 cable) is in good condition and use the climper to climp RJ45 clips.

If you are using broadband, some internet service providers may have login page.

If you have correct with all the above details your PC might have infected with virus or trojans etc. 

Before connecting to Internet make sure your PC is loaded with good antivirus system or internet security.

If problem persists you need to format your usb drive and you format your pendrive using some format tools which can available on internet

8 Health Reasons You Should Never Skip Breakfast

Breakfast is a very important part of our diet. If you are following habit of avoiding or skipping your breakfast, here are some very important reasons why you should not.

If you want to getup in the morning, needs alot of energy to kick start a day. Only breakfast can boost you with this energy

If you are of those one who are still skipping your breakfast, now is the time to change. Some extremely important reasons Why you should never avoid breakfast?

1. Breakfast improves your metabolism:

Blood sugar level drops down in the morning. You need food that can provide you energy to get through the morning. Body needs fuel to keep it running and the night is the longest gap in the refuelling process. To make sure your metabolism keeps on going you need to have something within 2 hours of waking up.

2. Breakfast Keeps you on track if you are looking to lose weight:

Researchers have found that those who eat breakfast incline to maintain and lose weight. Though people skip breakfast in the promise of losing weight they tend to eat more during lunch or even choose unhealthier options later on which results into weight gain.

3. Helps to maintain insulin response:

Skipping meals leads to a hyper insulin response when calories are consumed later on. That means the level of insulin in blood is more than the glucose level which can lead to metabolic disorder. This in turn results in to fat accumulation.

4. Helps perform better and sharp at work/school:

Hungry employees and students don’t do any good at work/school. When you are hungry you are irritable and disinterested which reflects on your work too. Breakfast helps you to wake up and makes you attentive.

5. Burns those calories early in a day:

If you have breakfast you can burn those calories early! How is that? Well, instead of going hungry till lunch and then hogging on something loaded with calories with fewer hours left in the day to burn it consider refuelling yourself early and getting enough time to burn those calories. So as to burn the calories dont use the elevators instead stairs, as much as you can go through the stairs and if not possible choose the elevators at that time.

6. Aids in setting a good example:

If you have kids, you always want to set a good example for them. By having breakfast on time you will show the quality of leadership by example.

7. Gets you your essential nutrients first thing in the morning:

There are food which we have only as a part of our breakfast like cereals, fruits, corn and milk. If you bypass your breakfast you might never get those nutrients.

8. Skipping breakfast can make you grumpy:

If you have been skipping breakfast and are in bad mood, you probably should know why. Not having breakfast makes you grouchy. You might not even realise it and keep wondering why you are so irritable!

Apart from all these reasons to have your breakfast there are few things you should always keep in mind:
Never have dessert for breakfast, it will cause blood sugar loss later on and you will be tempted to eat even more.

Stay full, stay happy!

Help with AMD motherboards?

Do AMD Fx motherboards support am3 processors? I am informed that AM3 motherboards and FX processors won't work. So I want a motherboard for future expansion and am informed that they are no longer making new am3 processors

Sol :- Yes, AMD FX mainboards  supports AM3 processors and you can buy one. You may upgrade in future with the same series of coket processors. Gigabyte Boards with FX supported socket supports AM3 socket aswell.

There might be a some inbuilt graphic card with a limit of below 1GB.

Tip is that buy a low range or mid range motherboard, go for highend graphic card if you prefer Gaming system.

But before buying make sure to check reviews of that particular product.
