Hi,
I have a Intel Core 2 Duo Machine that keeps on resetting at irregular intervals. I have reloaded the OS but to no avail. Then I loaded the Intel Hardware Monitor and see that I may have two problems:
1. The CPU is a bit Hot (57 Deg Celcius - according to the Monitor this is yellow alert)
2. CPU I/O Voltage is a bit Low at 1.26V (Should Be 1.5V)
It Would seem that I need to replace one or more fans in my box and also replace my Power Supply (500W).
Is my deductions corrent and is there maybe anything else that I should look at?
|

Sounds good to me. Although I think its more likely to be the overheating thats causing your problems. I would replace the fans first, and if that doesn't help then go ahead and replace the power supply.
Trinity: Neo... nobody has ever done this before.

If you have a homebuilt/small shop built box you might have an option to adjust the voltage in the BIOS. If only one voltage is off significantly it's your mobo's power modules that're bad not the PSU. The PSU only provides +3.3v, +/-5, and +/-12V to the board. The various lower voltages that the chips require are produced by the the mobo itself using DC-DC convertors.

First you should check you power supply. I recently had a similar case with some weird values at voltages.

Hi All, I am developing an IVR system. I am using my VOIP phone. I searched on google an found some information. I know that I need to connect and HMP(Host Media processing) to my NIC card. But I do not know how to connect HMP to NIC and what to do next after connecting.
Please help me as much as possible and as soon as possible..
Thanks in advance

How can I connect to a scanner from my application and scan and save file in .jpg format? Can any 1 help? I am trying ti do this using C#.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want, I'll show you how to do this using VB.NET and one DLL.
And if you good at C#, it is not difficult to convert VB.NET to C#.

Please sir show me the way. It would be very kind of u.

Are devices (storage devices) that have multiple path I/O avialable for Home use What I mean is in price etc.....

I try to get them use WMI, but in WMI the Win32_TemperatureProbe's CurrentreadingThe property's presence is reserved for future use.
I find somebody get the cpu and mainboard’temperature us acpi.
how to get the temperature?
|
|
|
|

Never use WMI!!! For work with hardware or other devices that are always different on different computers, you need knowledge in Assembler and C++. To get information from sensors you should at first: determine physical address of sensors, then use I\O to read information, this is formula of universal programm that read CPU and mainboard temperature on any computer where sensors installed of course!!!. For me it is impossible to reach how to do it. I know how to do this by theory, I have much search in google and MSDN but my results aren't good.
If somebody knows how to do it, please write some examples.

I've been working on a microcontroller project that routinely dumps status and debug information out its serial port. It always does this, regardless of whether or not anything is listening or even connected to the port.
If I boot my PC while it's connected to this thing, Windows XP often interprets the status and debug messages as mousespeak, installs a serial mouse driver, and then tries to interpret subsequent messages as if they were coming from a mouse. This results in occasional wild cursor movements and random mouse click events, as though some spastic ghost was trying to operate the mouse.
I can effectively kill the spastic ghost by uninstalling the serial mouse driver after XP has booted, but the problem comes back the next time I boot the machine.
If I disable the serial mouse driver instead of uninstalling it, the problem goes away and stays away, even after I boot again. This would be a fine solution if it was for just me, but I want to deploy this system to customers, and it would not look good at all to try to explain all this to them and to have them dinking around with mouse drivers.
I discovered (by Googling) that Windows supports a /NOSERIALMICE option within the BOOT.INI file that's supposed to prevent it from automatically detecting serial mice. I tried this option and it didn't work.
A second round of Googling revealed that /NOSERIALMICE was for Windows NT and that it's been replaced in Windows XP with the /FASTDETECT option. Unfortunately, /FASTDETECT didn't work for me, either. (In fact, it was already present in the BOOT.INI file when I started all this.)
Apparently this is not an uncommon problem. For example, quite a few links from Google described similar behavior when booting a Windows computer while it's connected to a talkative GPS device. These same links recommended /NOSERIALMICE or /FASTDETECT as the solution, but they don't seem to have any effect for me.
Can anyone suggest a different way to solve this problem? Or perhaps a hint about what I might be doing wrong with /NOSERIALMICE or /FASTDETECT?
Thanks,
rmac

No. I didn't try specifying the COM port. All the documentation that I found (including the link you gave) said that if you don't specify a COM port, it turns off the serial mouse detection on all COM ports. It's easy enough to try, though. I'll do so and report back.
Thanks,

I have tried it now both ways -- with and without specifying the COM port explicitly. Either way, Windows XP installs the serial mouse driver and then acts goofy as a result because there really isn't a serial mouse out there. It's as if the /FASTDETECT switch doesn't work, or isn't recognized, or perhaps that Windows isn't even looking at my BOOT.INI file???
Thanks for any more hints you might have.

The /FASTDETECT switch is there only for backwards compatibility with WinNT. Your problem starts when the shell hardware detection service finds the new "Mouse".
Disabling the shell hardware detection service is a bit rough as a solution though, as it will stop all hardware detection.
In the workaround section of this[^] article there is some info on how to stop the enumeration of comports. I haven't tried it myself though.

Good news. After a bit more Googling, I did find a way from Microsoft that works for me to turn off automatic detection by Windows of devices connected to the COM ports. As with many similar articles, this one cites a talkative GPS device as a typical example of why this sort of thing is needed sometimes.
The referenced page notes that the situation can get even more complicated if a USB-to-serial adapter is involved, because it might incorrectly detect and try to emulate a serial mouse instead of a serial port. Since that's beyond the control of Windows, the Microsoft fix won't work and you would then be trying to sort out problems with the adapter along with everything else.

Hello guys .
Provided I know Pid and Vid of a device (say a scanner or printer).
How I am going to get the plug'n play instance (ie, the find new hardware popup when the device is actually conneted) . Is there any way to initiate it through a VB.Net appliation.
I mean Ineed to get the plug'n play instance without actually connecting the hardware device.
please give some ideas or suggesstions.

Unless there is a hidden API to the PnP no, you cannot add data to the enum sectin of the registry (where all the HW IDs are stored).
Not only that, this section is owned by the system, so even admins cant delete it directly.
Morality is indistinguishable from social proscription

Ok thanks a lot ........... so theres no way to initiate an artificial pnp instance. I need to think a bit differently.
BTW could you please explain what do u mean by 'hidden API to the PnP'.
|
|
|
|

He meant unless there's a way to get at the pnp that's not documented or intended for public consumption. The real risk with trying to program to a nonppublic API even if you can find one by reverse engineering the code is that there's no promise it won't be changed by the next OS/Service pack/Windows update patch. Public APIs are guaranteed to remain constant. Non public ones can be changed at any point.
