			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Diagnosing computer problems can be a very time consuming process especially for computer users who have no or only basic computer repair process. These users only have a few options left if their computer system fails. One being to ask a proficient friend or colleague. The other option is to pay for professional computer repair which can be costly and time consuming depending where the computer system was bought and where it should be repaired.</p>
<p>Computer repair flowcharts can aid even inexperienced users to analyse the computer hardware problem with the possibility to repair it directly without having to spend money on professional computer repair. The computer repair flowcharts that are available on the website in pdf and image format are part of a computer repair book that contains additional diagnostic flowcharts that are not available on the website.</p>
<p><span id="more-15902"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/computer_repair-499x296.jpg" alt="computer repair" title="computer repair" width="499" height="296" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15903" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.fonerbooks.com/pcrepair.htm">following</a> computer repair flowcharts are available for free on the website:</p>
<ul>
<li>Power Supply Failure</li>
<li>Video Card Diagnostics</li>
<li>CPU, RAM and Motherboard Troubleshooting</li>
<li>Hard Drive Failure</li>
<li>CD and DVD Troubleshooting</li>
<li>Modem Failure</li>
<li>Sound Card Diagnostics</li>
<li>Network Troubleshooting </li>
</ul>
<p>Each computer repair flowchart guides the user through a series of Yes or No questions. The hard drive repair flowchart for example beings by asking if the drive is detected during the boot process and goes from there to cover all eventualities that can lead to a hard drive problem. Computer repair experience or at least some knowledge of computer hardware helps while working with the computer repair flowchart as it sometimes refers to specific computer hardware or features provided by the hardware.</p>
<p>The computer repair charts refer to each other. The Motherboard, CPU and RAM troubleshooting section for instance links to the Power Supply Failure and Video Card Diagnostics flowcharts which means that the user has to open these computer repair charts to continue with the repair.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/microsoft_windows.jpg" alt="microsoft windows" title="microsoft windows" width="128" height="128" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11907" />Winsock, which stands for Windows Sockets Api, defines how networking software should access network services. Many users come into contact with Winsock after experiencing connection problems that are usually related to Winsock. The connection problems come in a wide variety and include losing network connections, dns lookup problems, websites becoming unavailable, limited network connections plus many more.</p>
<p>There are several reasons for these network issues including computer crashes, installation of networking software or malicious software attacks that tampered with network settings and Winsock. A corrupt Winsock can therefor lead to all kinds of networking troubles which are difficulty to analyze and understand for the inexperienced user.</p>
<p><span id="more-14807"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fix_winsock_errors.jpg" alt="fix winsock errors" title="fix winsock errors" width="392" height="480" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-14808" /></p>
<p>Some software developers on the other hand have created software programs that can fix most Winsock errors with the push of a button. That&#8217;s obviously more comfortable than having to fix the errors manually.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.rizonetech.com/?p=31">Winsock Repair</a> is a portable software program for the Windows operating system that has two primary functions. The first is to reset the TCP/IP stack which will rewrite important Windows Registry keys with their default values. The second will try to repair Winsock so that the network connectivity issues are a thing of the past. It does provide an option to list the installed LSPs (Layered Service Providers) which can be important as pre-installed LSPs might need to be reinstalled after fixing the Winsock errors.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/27/unknown-file-in-winsock-lsp-nwprovaudll/">LSP Fix</a> is an alternative to Winsock Repair. It makes it easier to deal with LSP related problems as it will list all of them in its interface with the option to remove only selected ones from the computer system.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/network_troubleshooting.jpg" alt="network troubleshooting" title="network troubleshooting" width="198" height="34" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-13517" />Network Troubleshooting can be one of the most frustrating tasks especially for the average computer user. There is always the question where to start the troubleshooting process. The Windows operating system comes with troubleshooting wizards that usually do not help at all except for the most basic of troubles that users can run into. But problems in the form of forgetting to plug in the network cable are not as common as slow or corrupt downloads, page loading errors or Internet connection drops. Those on the other hand are much harder to come by and troubleshoot.</p>
<p><span id="more-13516"></span>The <a href="http://netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu">ICSI Netalyzr</a> is a new beta online network troubleshooting analyzer that can analyze various aspects of a computer&#8217;s network connection. It is made up of a Java applet that has to be executed on the user&#8217;s system. The benefits of a Java Applet are that it is system independent and that it can access and analyze the computer&#8217;s hardware and other aspects of the computer system.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/network_troubleshooting_analysis-500x321.jpg" alt="network troubleshooting analysis" title="network troubleshooting analysis" width="500" height="321" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13518" /></p>
<p>The analysis will take a while and an in depth network troubleshooting report will be generated and presented to the user in the end.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/online_network_troubleshooting-500x483.jpg" alt="online network troubleshooting" title="online network troubleshooting" width="500" height="483" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-13519" /></p>
<p>The network troubleshooting report is divided into two sections. The first reports on noteworthy events and is further divided into major abnormalities and minor aberrations. The second section displays the detailed network troubleshooting report that is colored for easier access. Entries with red backgrounds describe network problems while green backgrounds display unproblematic network elements.</p>
<p>Each title in the report is clickable leading to a short explanation of how the tests are conducted.
