Increase your processor’s life and performance just by cleaning heatsink

Almost all of us just complain about our old desktop systems that its not performing as good as it use to do before. Well there are a lot of reasons behind it. Some software related some hardware related. We will discuss Software related issue in some other post but in this post i will bring to your attention a very common and simple issue.

You might have noticed with your cpu fan that it makes a lot of wheeming noise.. it seems like its running at its maximum speed and at that time your cpu performance degrades and it starts hanging. It may lead to increase in temperature and sometime even turn off your system abruptly.

Its mainly because the heat sink [meant for cooling down your processor] is full of dust and fan is not able to cool it down as dust forms a layer on it and prevent the air flowing through it.

The heat sink look like:

The metallic item placed under the fan is the heat sink. When its become dusty it looks like:

Now just imagine how can air can pass through it? Its time to clean it.

Just use your vacuum cleaner and blow away all the dust from it. It will help the air to pass through the heat sink and will cool down the processor. Also you cpu will not make noise. Your processor will last longer and also the performance will not go down. Do it time to time and see the difference. Thanks for reading my post. I will be happy to read your comments on my post.

Way to access blocked sites,Bsnl evdo blocked many sites,How to bypass blocked site?

Way to access blocked sites in BSNL evdo network is here. As they blocked so many sites using open dns which includes proxy,adult sites as well as so many other useful sites.

orkut-blocked

Read here for details

Who are they to decide what we should view and what not to view? We are paying them for their service whatever they demans then why they are behaving like dictators?

Solution:

Not to worry when your net friend techian is here 🙂 I have got a very good solution to bypass this blocking issue. Tested and working fine. This method is used by the chinese people to bypass their govt restrictions on content filtering. Yes some of you might have guessed correctly what i am talking about. I am talking about TOR . This small usefull tool is very good and it works fine in almost all such networks.

Tor

But still some problem remains as Tor’s homepage is also blocked. So what? 😀 No fear when google is here 🙂

I googled for alternate links and found few working ones

Download Tor Browser Bundle v 1.2.0 Download Tor IM Browser Bundle v 1.2.0

Download any of the above and if it doesnt works then search more and use the one which works for you.It contains a browser bundles and pidgin[depending upon the package you download].Tor might take sometime to open but when its fully loaded your problem will be solved. After downloading it just extract the files somewhere and you need to run Start tor browser.exe file and it will start loading

Another Solution:

Another Solution is to use proxies but They are also blocking various proxy sites but still the methos which i am telling you is working fine for me.

I dont know why but i feel like tor works a bit slow so i use it just to visit the site www.proxy-list.org

All you need to do is enter the captcha there and press enter. You can see a list of proxies appearing on screen. Just get some proxy ip address [with port 80 or 8080 from there which shows high uptime [around 97%+] and note it down to notepad[or anywhere else you like to]. Now all you need to do is use this proxies in your browser. I would recommend you peple to use firefox.

The only problem with this method is that the proxies that you got are temperory, they wont last long so you need to get fresh working ones frequently from the site. But if you are using Tor then no problem at all:)

If you dont know how to use proxies in web browser Please visit this thread to know how to use them

xmlrpc.php error with windows live writer and wordpress

Recently i changed my host of this blog and when i tried to use windows live writer for posting to this blog i got error. It was related with xmlrpc.php file.

few ppl might also get error like shown above or error 500.

Though i am not an expert in php but for understanding the problem one need not to be any expert. So i figured it out and tried various methodologies but all went in vein. Finally i was able to rectify the problem. So i decided to write this article so that other people may solve the problem without any much effort. I will write the steps in order so that your problem may be solved quickly

Step 1: Rename the xmlrpc.php file to anyname.php but make sure that it should not contain xml and rpc term in it. [This is how i finally solved my problem with techian.com]. It happens due to foolishness of your host. Actually to prevent the hacking attempts the host providers installs some mod on apache and instead of blocking the hacking attempts only it block all access to this file.This should solve your problem. if not then try next step. Just by renaming it we bypass this restriction. 🙂

Step 2: View the log file of windows live writer. For Beta 3 and later: In the Help | About Windows Live Writer dialog, click the “show log file” link. If you are not able to find it then see This link. This is specially when you see error like:

If you see log as:“Invalid Server Response – The response to the blogger.getUsersBlogs method received from the weblog server was invalid: Invalid response document returned from XmlRpc server”

The log file will show something like :

Warning: include_once(public_html/www.seo-scientist.com/wp-includes/class-IXR.php) [<a href=’function.include-once’>function.include-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /public_html/www.seo-scientist.com/xmlrpc.php on line 43 
Warning: include_once() [<a href=’function.include’>function.include</a>]: Failed opening ‘/public_html/www.seo-scientist.com/wp-includes/class-IXR.php’ for inclusion in /public_html/www.seo-scientist.com/xmlrpc.php on line 43 
Fatal error: Class ‘IXR_Server’ not found in /public_html/www.seo-scientist.com/xmlrpc.php on line 73

It means some stupid FTP client has converted all filenames to lowercase. One change of one filename and your problem will be solved.

Step 3: There is a problem with the PHP version. Solution: the following code should be added to the top of the xmlrpc.php file:

$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = file_get_contents(“php://input”);

Step 4: There is a problem with .htaccess. The following code should be added to the .htaccess file:

<Files xmlrpc.php>
SecFilterInheritance Off
</Files>

Step 5: There is a clash between WLW and some of the installed plugins. Disable the clashing plugins.

Step 6: There are some extra lines in all kind of files that xmlrpc.php is referring to so the php functions calling those file are not able to execute. Solution: Use Fiddler to monitor the HTTP traffic between the WLW and your hosting and find the calls to files that are giving the error.

Step 7: If you are running older versions of php then you need to alter your .htaccess file. You can therefore fix the problem by adding a couple of lines to your .htaccess file on your server. These are the lines you need to add:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

I have given all possible set of problems and their solutions. Still If your problem is not solved then do let me know by your valuable comments. I will try to help you. Thanks for reading my post.
