| Soccer Mad? How To Follow The World Cup Posted: 26 May 2014 03:00 PM PDT  The season of soccer madness is upon us again. For die-hard fans, this period is characterized by late nights, hoarse voices and threats of sacking. The latter is as a result of perpetual lateness or constant absenteeism from work to watch daytime games. In the last World cup, some companies recognized the need to allow employees to watch matches when the national team was playing. This was based on past experience where high absenteeism from work was noted, as large numbers of staff sneaked out or failed to report to work altogether. If you work for a company that’s this...

| RAM Speed Not Running as Advertised? Try Turning on XMP But Watch out! Posted: 26 May 2014 01:00 PM PDT  Your RAM may not run at the advertised speed. According to Reddit user Marck527, many motherboards don’t recognize the right CAS latency or frequency of RAM. This issue exists on Intel motherboards and can easily be resolved by enabling XMP in your motherboard’s UEFI (or BIOS) settings. Unfortunately, the fix causes additional issues – whenever you enable XMP, it may sometimes set your Turbo Boost frequencies to the maximum frequency, which causes the silicon on your CPU to age faster. For those with Haswell and Ivy Bridge CPUs, this further exacerbates the issue with the thermal paste used between the... Read the full article: RAM Speed Not Running as Advertised?

| Change Your Bad Habits & Your Data Will Be More Secure Posted: 26 May 2014 12:00 PM PDT  Your data may be vulnerable and you may not even know it. The truth of the matter is, most people practice bad security habits on a day-to-day basis, leaving themselves susceptible to data hackers and thieves. If you think this doesn’t apply to you, you may want to think again. That’s the kind of attitude that leaves you open to attack. Bad habits can crop their heads up in many different ways: poor password management, not using security software, or simply being naïve and believing that you’d never fall for a scam or malware link. Regrettably, these things can happen... Read the full article: Change Your Bad Habits & Your Data Will Be More Secure |

| How To Troubleshoot And Fix Windows Black Screen Issues Posted: 26 May 2014 10:00 AM PDT  The term “BSOD” commonly refers to the Blue Screen of Death, a common Windows error screen that appears when a critical system fault occurs.

Here are a few common causes and their solutions. Software Error A simple software error is often the cause of a black screen. This most frequently occurs when dealing...
