    It doesn’t matter what type of device is used to extend a wireless signal’s range, the plain fact is that the more people that connect to that network, the slower it will become for everyone.

    So it’s got nothing to do with the type or number of booster devices that are used, it’s the number of people using the network that will slow down the internet.

    Bearing that in mind, there would be no point in “blocking” a plug-in HomePlug device even if it was possible, because it would make no difference to the internet speed.

    You need to close some of apartments so fewer people are using the net at the same time.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filena…

    Anyhow, installing Linux is relatively easy. 1st you’ll need to decide on a distro that will work with your hardware. Being that you only have 1GB RAM, you should stick with distros with a lightweight desktop environment such as LXDE or Xfce. Once you’ve decided, download the ISO, burn it to a CD or DVD using the appropriate software (e.g. ImgBurn), then boot off the disk. You can either start the installation immediately, or boot into Linux & start the install from within live session. There’s usually a shortcut on the desktop or somewhere in the start menu.

    I’m currently running Zorin OS 9 Lite on 10+ yr old HP laptop with an AMD A64 3200+ & 1.25GB RAM.

    Forget capacitors changing if power is removed. Your computer has something called a power controller. Most do not even know it exists. One safety feature is a lockout. To reset the lockout in a controller, disconnect a power cord for a few seconds.

    Never disconnect anything before making a measures (as another has noted). One minute with the meter could have answers a long list of unknowns. Start by measuring the purple wire (from power supply to motherboard) before powering the machine. It should measure about 5 VDC. But post the three digit number hear. Every digit contains useful information.

    Do same with the green and gray wires both before and as the power switch is pressed. Those numbers will also result in facts that contain no speculation.

    And finally measure any one red, orange, and yellow wire both before and as the power switch is pressed. Also report that behavior – in numbers.

    What follows is a list of parts that are no longer only suspected good or bad. Listed will be ‘definitive’ answers – no more ‘it could be …’. How a computer really works (and it is simple) will also be learned.

    Never disconnect or remove anything until hard facts (especially those above numbers) are first learned.

    Many thanks. I have changed the settings in the bios to the defaults. I think that I am going to use arctic silver paste on the cpu. It may not be necesary though as I replaced the thermal pad with some new paste 4 days ago and the pc is still running hot but has stopped freezing and crashing. I will continue to use it every day to test it and it seems to be working normally now. I will wait and see though and I am still not happy about the cpu temperature which is about 53c idle. it is more with the power charger connected. See less
