Description
Well, I think it explains itself
I hope you all find this useful- I tried to keep it as simple as I could without omitting any important steps.

Yeah, that's true- and the problem is: The more warm a computer get, the slower it probably get... Some parts surely shouldn't get too hot.
Hmmm.. but wikipedia is also very good in sharing wrong or partly wrong things- For instance, you should be careful, if you read biographies of living people- there might be many wrong things around (maybe even changed by this one person) or some important things are not mentioned... or different complicated things in math are explained wrong... So, I think the teachers are right- you should also use other sources as well. Wikipedia is good for getting into a theme, but not for much more.
Well- I don't know... I played it for a while, probably because there are a lot of swords to collect (I love swords) and because of the dragon.. but other than that it was really not that great

I think some computers just shut themselves off when they get too hot. O.O
Yeah, I guess that risk is always there. But at least you could read Wikipedia to get an idea of what your topic is, and then follow the reference links that they have posted so you can actually cite a legitimate source.
Heh, and there's probably other games that you could find that are better for those two things anyways, right? XD

Of course they do.. if they get too hot and don't shut themselves off, it might happen that some parts get harmed- or even destroyed... That's why a computer freezes sometimes, when it calculates something really big- like a new game for example.
Hehe, last time I scanned something and turned off the scanner afterwards, my computer turned off at the same time without any obvious reason.. I was really a little bit surprised by that, but when I started the computer again, I saw that the scan was not entirely finished- that's why the computer crashed 
Yep, that's what I tried to say
Well.. there are a lot of games with swords, but dragons are rather rare I think

I think this happened to one of our computers once. The video card overheated and the GPU melted, or something... It happened very quickly, because those things get hot really fast. We had to replace the video card. Luckily nothing else got hurt.
I hate when my computer locks up. That's one of those times when I just want to reach inside of it and untangle whatever knot it's gotten itself into. But it's not that easy to fix this problem. 
Yes, this is true. XD There needs to be more games with dragons.

Ooops- That's indeed not very good.. Hmm, maybe one of the ventilators didn't work correctly?
Well- Only thing you can do is either wait till the computer recover (if it recover) or just restart it.
Nobody likes a computer that don't work correctly- but I have to say my computer is a really good one- most of the crashes I caused myself (like the scan-crash)
Yup
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think something happened with the heatsink system on the video card. I don't remember exactly.
I usually get too impatient and just restart my computer. Usually when they lock up really badly they aren't going to stop.
The computer I use now is a little annoying with stuff sometimes. It doesn't usually crash, but it does run slow sometimes, and it has a bad habit of turning itself off without warning when it thinks it gets too hot. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well- at least the rest survived that
Yup- and sometimes they're lock up so bad that you have to cut down the current completely to be able to restart it.
Hmmm... Did you open it once? It might be that there is a lot of dust inside.. This will heat the computer up and also slows it down.
They might be also some other mistakes around in the system and you need to reinstall the operating system completely.

I always feel bad when I have to turn the computer off because it won't respond to the reset button. XD It can't be good to just shut it down like that. But, hey, it's not doing me any good locked up...
I don't know if it had dust or not. My dad is usually pretty good with vacuuming out the inside of the computer whenever he works with it. I never thought of dust slowing down a computer. XD
I think that might be the case with my laptop. Every time I run any virus detector or programs like that, they never find anything. But my computer used to run better four months ago, when I got it... This is why I want to reformat it, just in case that will make it run faster.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I feel the same way, but maybe it don't harm the computer at all- actually, it can repair itself a little bit pretty well, so a few crashes like that should be no problem
Heh, well, one of our computers suddenly go slow and when we opened it, it was full of dust- after removing it, it was as fast as it was before the slow down
Just because the virus detector don't find anything, it don't mean there are no viruses around- maybe you have caught the newest virus and your virus programm can't see it yet (yeah, it's unprobable, but not impossible).
I would just check the programms that run in the background first- and take out every programm you don't really need.

I am amazed at how people could have written a computer that can fix its hard drive when it gets shut off unexpectedly. XD I suppose you would have to be an expert at data management for something like that...
Though, I must say, it's a big pain to wait for scandisk to run when you turn the computer on. 
Hmm. I've never heard of this happening, but it is good to know that this can happen so that I know what to try when my computers start running slowly for no reason. XD I don't know how well I can vacuum out my laptop, though...
Yeah, I hope not, though. I don't want my computer to have a virus. *hugs it*
The hard part is knowing what programs I don't need. I don't want to go around shutting down essential system programs.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, yeah- My computer needed to repair some of the really important system files after it crashed and somehow deleted some of them accidently- That's why there were some heavy mistakes in the system after all (and why I needed to reinstall the system), but hey, it managed to bring itself back to life at least!
Normally, a computer will go more slow over the years for many reasons- if you want to have your new, fast computer you definitaly need to reinstall the whole system from time to time.
Yeah, that's the big problem with laptops: You can't really open it easily and adding new parts or stuff like that will be also extremly difficult- that why I love my desktop!
Nobody want to have a virus
Well, you need to google those names first of course- there are even programms that automaticall check all things and tell you which things are dangerous, unneeded or important.
I really don't know what makes your computer that slow then- maybe you have not that much ram? (I'm not sure, but I guess I asked you this already)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's really not good when a crash ruins your computer's system files.
Yeah, I guess the hardware starts to get old after a while, and things just slow down. Or maybe there are some other problems that can be easily fixed by re-installing the computer.
Heh, yup, with a laptop you're basically stuck with the computer you get because you can't upgrade anything.
Yeah - and I don't think I've ever gone to any pages that would give me viruses. I hope not, at least. :/
Oh, heh, I didn't think about using google to find if a file is important or not. XD I would prefer to do it this way instead of letting a program manage these sorts of things for me, though. I don't really trust programs that try to label other programs as safe or not needed or dangerous... I guess I'm just paranoid that it will mess up and delete something important.
No, my computer has plenty of ram (4 GB), and besides it has as much ram as it did when I first got the computer... But maybe it just isn't working as well anymore, or something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It crashed during a defragmation- probably it was pushing around some files and suddenly crashed during that- well, it needed to restore some important files and several programms and games didn't work anymore after that crash
Well, I think some files are surely saved somewhere or I probably couldn't start my computer back then anymore
Well, the software also can get 'old', but it's far more easy to make it 'new' again by simply reinstall it
Yeah- but the tower of my computer is very small- so it's unhandy to carry it around (like a laptop), but on the same time you almost can't remove/add anything because of the missing space :/
(my tower is only half as big as a regular one)
Well, those programms just help you to analyze your running programms- it don't delete anything.. it's completely up to you what you do with the information it gives you- you even can check it in google if that's true, if you don't trust it completely.
Hehe, sometimes you need to google it, because nobody knows what dabkfuie.exe (this one doesn't exist) stands for otherwise
You could check if it works- just go in the folder 'workstation' and then click on 'system'.. under 'general' you would find how much ram there is really (at the bottom).. I also have 4GB ram, but it only shows 3GB there- probably because XP only can handle 3GB of ram. If one of them wouldn't work, it would be less (either 2GB or none)

Oh, wow, that's a bad time for a computer to crash. O.O No wonder the files got messed up because of that! That's probably just as bad as a computer crashing while it was updating the system files or something. >.<
At least it worked some after that happened. This way you could save your important files before restarting everything. It would be sad to lose all of your things because the system files got ruined.
Aw, that's a little inconvenient then. Why have a small computer tower if it's not small enough to carry around easily?
Ah, okay... That's not bad, then. XD I certainly don't want a program running around and deciding for itself whether or not to keep certain programs on my computer. O.O But one that just checks them would be okay.
Hmm, I don't know how to check that on my computer. XD I'm running Vista, not XP.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep- I remember I was doing something else, since you can't use the computer while it defragmate itself and when I returned I saw a beautiful blue screen and was shocked
I was glad too and at first I even thought it didn't harm one bit, but there were just to many small and bigger problems around.
Well, you don't only have to carry the tower, but also the screen and mouse/keyboard- so it would be rather unpracticable to carry it around
Computers have a lot of space, so you can add easlily new stuff and easily can reach every part of the computer.
I guess nobody would want such a programm- because it could be easily manipulated and suddenly delete everything instead just what it needs to delete 0.0
Heh, I never wanted to change to Vista, since everyone said it's bad- it makes you system really slow (that could be the solution to your problem, btw), since it needs muuuuuuuch ressources only to run the operating system
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There is just something about the shade of blue that Window's Blue Screen of Death uses that makes it painful to see. XD
I think the best screenshot I ever saw was someone running a Windows emulator on a Mac, and something went wrong so Blue Screen crashed. It was awesome to see. XD
That's true. A computer tower alone is pretty useless...
Yeah - at that point it would just be acting like a virus.
Well, I didn't want to get a Vista computer, but I actually haven't had many problems with it - not as many as I had expected at least. XD Maybe this is because I got Vista after it had been upgraded a few times. I don't know if my operating system is the reason my computer runs so slowly, but it would seem strange, because my computer has had Vista this whole time, and it used to run just fine. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, well, I would hate to see that color no matter how 'beautiful' it looks 
Yep
Yup- but it would be easier to get such a virus through such a program.. well, luckily it's not that dangerous, this program
Well, I would have waited until Windows7 came out or insisted to become XP- I worked a few times with Vista and I didn't really liked it >.<
That's just what I heard- many users had to change their operating system to XP, since they run really slow on Vista- even if they were new computers
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I guess this color is a good one for this kind of error message. XD It's obviously not something your computer should normally show! I doubt you would pay as much attention to a black screen, because that's more normal...
Yeah. I think people do this so they can play Windows games on their Mac computers. XD
I think my next computer will be a Windows 7. But for now I don't have any real complaints about my laptop (other than it being slow sometimes XD). Besides, there are other computers in this house that I can use if I feel like playing games my laptop can't handle.
I've heard about this too - how an XP computer with the exact same hardware will run better than a Vista. But I don't know if this explains my computer getting gradually slower.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, yeah, I would hate a 'black screen', because I actually love black, but I think I would probably start to dislike it, if it's always linked with something negative on the computer... Hmmm... Although, I still like blue, but maybe not that special kind of blue used for the errors.
I don't like Macs that much- I don't know, somehow I think the design of the desktop is very confusing.. Sure, you would learn to be used to that, but I like my Windows PC really much- I can play all games for the computer and Photoshop also runs here- what do I need more?
Well, yeah- but I'm still very happy that I never had to use Vista for my own computer
It is possible I think, though I don't know it for sure- a computer can be very complex- maybe there is more than just one reason for the slowness of your computer
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't think using a specific color for this error screen would make me dislike the color, although I probably wouldn't like that shade of it anymore. XD But ideally that screen won't come up, so I won't have any problems...
Any time I've been able to use a Mac, I've been confused with it. XD I don't think I'd want to learn how to use it unless I had to. There isn't a very good reason to anyways.
This is true. It could be one of countless problems, or even a combination of a bunch of things that makes my computer run so slowly. XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup- well, I don't see the blue screen very often anyway (which I'm really glad for)...
Well, Macs used to be better for artists, but I think that changed over the time- PCs are really good for graphic stuff now too.. and besides, I don't do much with a 3D program anyway, so there is no need to have a super-fast computer for rendering things
Yeah- and want a job which should be able to solve problems like that easily

hmm..... Never used an overlayer ... Dunno how to make it in PS.. i mean is like a new layer. Pff... =\
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, there is an option list somewhere near the layer box- Normally the option is just 'normal', but there are other options for it like lighten, darken, overlay, color burn, softlight, hue, saturation, color, luminosity and more: For getting a good coloring I just use the overlay option: You might manage it without using that, but it's far more difficult (in my opinion).
The new layer with the option overlay is not like a normal layer- that's why I mentioned it at all: It makes all the colors more lively.
