Your computer suffers from the restarting problem mainly due to the system overheating. When your processor gets overheated it automatically reboots.  So first and foremost check if your CPU fan is working properly. If that doesn’t resolve your problem next move to where your processor is located on your motherboard. You will find a small heat sink and a fan mounted on top of your processor. Power on your CPU and see if the processor fan is functioning properly. If the fan isn’t functioning properly get it replaced and that will most probably get your problem resolved.

If both your computer fan and your processor fan are working properly but even than your computer restarts than you will have to do a little more work. You will have to remove the fan mounted on top of the processor. Now remove the heat sink.  Normally a thick layer of paste needs to be applied in between the processor and the heat sink. So, when this layer of paste dries up you faces this problem of your processor overheating which ultimately leads to the computer restarting problem. If the layer of paste has dries up all you need is to buy this paste (easily available in any computer hardware store) and apply it before replacing your heat sink and fan.

Connect all the cable and power on your computer. If you follow these simple steps 95 times out of hundred you can solve the problem of frequent reboots of your computer. 

P.S- if the problem still persists than you will need expertise help. Take your PC to your nearest Computer retailer and get it serviced.

Hitech S 800 Review

Hitech S 800 Review

If you are looking for a big screen 5 inch phone at a budget price than Hitech S 800 is just the ideal phone for you. Hitech S 800 comes at a throw away price of just a little over Rs.5000 but don’t under value the phone just because it is cheaply priced. 

Hitech S 800 comes with 1 GHz, Dual core Processor and 512 RAM which makes the phone highly efficient. May be a bit better RAM could actually make the phone real fun to use but even 512 MB RAM is good enough and as such the phone doesn’t hang or lag as most other android phone do.

It operates on Android v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) and comes with Accelerometer, and Proximity sensor providing a superior touch experience. Once you start using the phone it doesn’t give you that low budget phone feel. Hitech S 800 comes with 4 GB internal memory and a expandable memory slot for upto 32 GB so you can upgrade your storage capacity any time.

The Screen Resolution of the phone is 480 X 800 Pixels with 187 PPI pixels Density which is slightly on the lower end and one area were the phone can upgrade considerably. Not that it isn’t good but improving on the screen resolution can give a far superior experience to its users.

As far as camera is concerned it is loaded with 8 Megapixel Primary Camera and 1.2 Mega Pixel Secondary Camera with Digital zooming option which provide a superior photo shooting experience. It also has powerful flash so you can shoot photos any time during the day or night.

As far as battery is concerned it comes with 2000 Mah Li-on which is slightly on the lower end. Being a 5 inch screen I would have preferred at least 2500 Mah battery but again as it is very cheaply priced android gadget we just can’t complain. The battery just manages to last for a day (just about).

So all in all Hitech S 800 is a very good android device for a set priced below Rs.6000. I am a very happy and satisfied customer of Hitech S 800. Yes would want the company to improve on its battery backup and screen resolution but even if doesn’t I dn’t have anything much to complain.

Micromax Canvas A63 review

Micromax Canvas A63 hangs a lot

Micromax Canvas has indeed created a brand value for itself in the android world. It is mostly known for providing good phones at budget price. If you are an android user you most know most of the android device hangs and created problems sooner or later but with my Micromax Canvas A 63, the problem started sooner than expected and even with very limited apps installed it works at snail speed.

Though loaded with Dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 Processor, 4GB internal memory and 512 RAM, the performance f the phone is very poor. Besides Whatsapp, Candy Crush is the only game installed in the phone and even than the phone hangs like hell. Just after 2-3 minutes of starting candy Crush, the phone starts lagging and slows down comparatively.  So on ground of performance I would rate the phone 2 out of 5.

Now let me move forward to the battery performance, though it has a Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery it runs for just 6-7 hours without using the internet. I have used android gadgets before and I know battery performance depends on the usage of apps, etc but with my Micromax Canvas A63 I seldom use any apps (beside playing Candy Crush for 10-15 minutes during the day) and the phone battery runs dry. If the phone is fully charged up ( ie- 100 percent) the performance of the battery is touch better but if you charge is say 50-60 % than within 30-40 minutes your phone will drain all the battery and start beeping because of low battery.  So, even the battery performance of the phone is very poor.

So over all Micromax Canvas A63 is a waste of money and if you looking to buy the low budget phone to use all those android apps and play those cool android games you surely will be pulling you hair and start swearing  once you start using the phone.

Nokia X Review ( Fast lane to Android Apps)

Nokia X Review ( Fast lane to Android Apps)

If you are a Nokia fan than Nokia X surely is a phone you would like.  Nokia Lumia and Nokia Asha series were pretty good on the simplicity and design front but being windows based phone most users found it a bit boring and that gave its competitors an edge.

After a long wait finally Nokia did come up with a phone that supports android apps. Yes, don’t be Confused, Nokia X is not an android Smartphone but a phone with plenty of android apps. It is based on android open source project and is a perfect blend of Nokia Lumia and Asha. The very sleek design gives it a very trendy and stylish look and is surely one of the cheapest smart phones with decent performance.

Nokia X and Samsung Trend Dous both are price around Rs.7500 and comparatively Nokia X has an edge over Samsung Trend Dous because of its simple but smart looks. If you are looking around for a budget smart phone I surely would recommend Nokia X.

Nokia X delivers on performance front but surely lacks a front camera which is one of its major disadvantages.  No Google Play Store means you simply can’t synchronize your contacts. Unlike other Smart phone (Android based), Nokia X lacks a proper document reader and also doesn’t have a smart dialing facility.

All in all Nokia X is surely a decent and competitively price Smartphone which comes with a different flavor of operating system as compared with the most of its competitors flooding the market with android based devices. Plenty of android app available for download from its Nokia and Microsoft store.

Hopefully Nokia XL will be overcome all the major loopholes present in Nokia X and provide a good smart phone which is as simple and smart to use and competitively priced as well.
