Startup program sometimes  helpful, but sometimes made our Windows load slow.

Startup program is automatically appears once your system load in the main windows. Some of these are Yahoo Messenger, Skype, Anti- Virus, etc. Those programs are important to us, specially for Anti-virus. We need to maintain ours Anti-Virus included in startup menu for automatic scan of our system before he load all programs.

But many startup programs also came from virus and it also appears in your screens when you enter in the main Windows. The others are software, games etc. you installed , they created automatic startup after the installation and some are came  from unfinished software installation and corrupted programs.

Startup can be found in you program files. Just click start, then Startup. The screen shot I made was located  below. If you want to delete all Startup programs, just right click your mouse under the Startup and choose delete.


STARTUP

 

But that process can’t remove all startup program ,only few of them. For complete deletion of all startup programs. Click START – RUN – under run option type " MSCONFIG" . As you can see the System Configuration Utility appeared, then choose STARTUP. In that option you can either disable all Startup programs or uncheck the programs you don’t want to appears in your main windows.

Blue Screen Computer Trouble Shooting

BLUE SCREEN TROUBLESHOOTING

I think most of the computer users encounter this problem, you computer was freeze into blue screen and give white message about the encounter problem of your system like memory dumb or their is problem in your display card.

Most of this problem came from Memory Card ( SDR,DDR, DDR2, DDR3), you memory can’t support the  required system requirement of your application you are using  that causes your system corrupted and begin to restart your computer again and again or sometimes even your  memory card good enough to support your application they had some physical defect you didn’t notice. The other causes of this blue screen came from Video Card and if your computer is too old, almost all parts of your computer became the causes.

I encounter different sources of problem in this blue screen trouble and most of the computers give me  a headache are those too old computers. But just like I said, most of them are because of memory card and the others are from power supply, he can’t give supply for both hard drive and optical drive and you need to unplug one of them to continue loading your system.

Their is also a chances this problem coming from incorrect installation of drivers from sound, video card, etc. or incomplete installation of some programs.

The best way to troubleshoot your computer is reformat/resetup your system and start tracing the problem each part of your computer, once your computer was fresh formatted their is no reason that is coming from virus, incomplete or incorrect installation of software and corrupted system.
