TROUBLE WITH DUAL RAM MODULE.

Problem With Dual RAMs
I want to use two rams of 2GB combine in my pc. when I put both rams system show only one ram memory that put first in pc. I also check the system ports and Rams one by one that works but when I use combine only one ram memory show that put first. Please suggest me what I can do for solve the problem.

Upgrading RAM on a PC is a more complex procedure than it seems. First of all, you must ensure that both the RAMs that you are using are using same frequency, are or same type and same specification. The best case scenario is to use RAM modules of same brand, same make and same model which will ensure that there in no incompatibility at all.
In case you are using different modules of same capacity, if they don’t match properly on the frequency and other specs like the speed, latency etc., then there are high chances of crashes, random restating of PC and in some cases, one module not being detected at all (which is reported above).
In our opinion, you should use only one module if the two you have are not of same brand and make. Else you can buy a new one matching one of the two older modules and the install it together with the older modules, which is most appropriate way of upgrade.

[TROUBLESHOOT] DVD/CD or Blu-Ray Optical Drive IS NOT SHOW IN MY COMPUTER – Error Code 39

 When I opened Device manager, there was an exclamation mark on the drive named “HL-DT-ST DVD RAM GT33N”.  When I check the drive properties in device manager, the status showed said “Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)


















On researching further I found that problem is faced by many Windows users across different brand of laptop & desktop computers with different brand of DVD / CD or Blu-Ray Disk optical drives. The reason behind this may be a hardware failure (which was unlikely in my case as the laptop was just one month old and optical drive was hardly used) or driver corruption or drive letter assignment error or some registry error. A hardware error can not be resolved using a software and requires replacement of part. Driver corruption in such case is unlikely as the driver is very generic and does not require an external installation. Drive letter assignment is one possibility which can be resolved in disk management. Try it before using the last solution given below) but in my case, the DVD drive was not even listed in the Drive Management list!

Finally after some searching online, I came across a very effective and lightweight tool which to resolved my problem. This free software is called “XP-CD-DVD Fix”. Don’t worry by the name XP in the name of software as it works perfect on Windows Vista, Windows 7 and also Windows 8 as well. You can download this freeware tool from its official page here. Extract the Zip file, run the .EXE which will show a small window like on below. Do right click on the tool and select run as administrator to run this tool. Simply click the repair button on this too.



Click repair removed any bad registry entries which might be clashing with the correct registry values required to make your optical drive work. You need to restart you computer for the DVD / CD or Blu-Ray Drive to come back to Windows Explorer or My Computer. Also please note, that you may have to run this tool twice, after you restart, run the tool and restart again if the Drive does not come back in first attempt. It worked for me when I ran this tool second time.













It did solve the problem on my Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E420 with HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT33N DVD Drive, I hope this tool will help you too. If this helps you, please let us know by comments below. Do share it with your friends.......thx..

[HOW TO] STOP GOOGLE CHROME NEW TAB TO OPEN CLARO SEARCH AS HOME PAGE.

One such similar thing happened with me last week, when I installed a freeware software called ViStart which is a start menu for windows 8, I read things and unchecked many things while installing it on windows 8 but some how still, I could see the new Claro search page open up in google chrome every time I launch google chrome or open a new tab.




It was very annoying to see claro search page load every time in new tab or as home page so I decided to get rid of it.



Remove Claro Search As Home Page in the Google Chrome :-

In order to delete claro search home page in google chrome, you first need to go in google chrome settings.




Under this settings, you will need to click the options to set home page in google chrome where you can remove claro and specify other pages like google.com









Under specific pages list you will see the claro search entry which you can remove and enter other web pages to open when you open new tab in google chrome or start google chrome.




Once you remove claro page under the new tab pages, you will need to navigate to the google chrome extensions page and disable and remove the extension named claro toolbar which is a background extension in google chrome.






Then remove this extension in google chrome by clicking the delete bin icon.
