Computer Power Cycling

Sometimes you experience problems booting your computer or problems connecting to the Internet. It becomes necessary to power cycle your equipment before it will function properly again. Power cycling all of your equipment is a fast and easy way to get things working again without the assistance of a repair technician. This article will teach you how to power cycle your computer and high-speed internet equipment properly.

1. Shut Down your computer. Do this properly if at all possible by going through the Start Menu to turn your system off. If your system is completely locked up, you can press and hold your computer’s power button for 5-10 seconds and the tower will turn off.
2. Unplug your computer. This is an important step! Unplug your computer by removing the cord from the power supply. This is almost always the top black cord on your tower. If you are using a laptop or notebook computer, remove your battery and then unplug the power cord from the unit. DO not simply turn off your surge protector. It is important that you unplug the cord from the computer.
3. Unplug your Internet equipment. Because different people have different home networking situations, you may have more of less equipment than is mentioned here. If you have High Speed Internet, you will have either a cable modem, a DSL modem, or a satellite modem. Whichever you have, unplug the power cord from the back of your modem. Some people with more than on computer in their home may have an Internet router to split their high speed connection so each computer can connect. If you have a router (typical brands include Linksys, Netgear, or D-Link) please remove the power cord from this unit as well.
4. Wait 30 seconds. Once you have unplugged all of your equipment, wait 30 seconds for any residual power to drain from your devices. You can help this process by pressing the power button of your PC. Although the PC is not plugged in, pressing the power button will help drain all left over power from the unit’s motherboard.
5. Reconnect devices. Next you will need to reconnect all of your devices IN A SPECIFIC ORDER. First, plug in the power cord for your modem (if you have high speed internet). Wait for the modem to have a solid Internet connection with your internet service provider. This can take as long as 2 minutes, so be patient. Next, plug in your router (if you have one). Wait for the lights on the router to indicate it has established a good connection to your modem (this could take up to 30 seconds). Finally plug your computer tower back in. If you use a laptop, insert the battery and then plug the unit back in. Turn on your computer by pressing the power button and allow it to boot fully.
6. The computer should now boot normally and you should be able to establish a connection to the Internet over your high-speed connection.

How to avoid Common Cold?

Common cold is one of the most common distractions which we encounter in most part of our lives. This can be because of many reasons like allergy, dust, smoke, etc.

Based on my experiences and observations on common cold, I have come up with a 99.99% effective way to avoid catching cold!

The most common starting point of cold is after you sneeze for couple or more times. Once you are done with the sneezing, you will feel like some liquid is lightly coming out of the nose.

The trick is to avoid the formation or accumulation of more mucous inside nose. What you have to do is to run to the Restroom or bathroom and blow your nose gently so that all the mucous which had formed comes out of your body. You can ensure this by checking whether any mucous presence inside nose.

After sometime, you will realise that there is no more a tendency to get cold.

This is a very effective method tried and tested in my body. I believe none of the doctors in this world will let you know about this as they will lose cold patients.

Also, make sure that you don't take medicines to cure cold. Drink a lot of water to keep yourself hydrated. Share this link to your friends and family if you liked this information. Have a nice cold-free day!! :)
