PC automatically shutdown during Windows start up


My co-worker called me up and told me that his pc shutdown automatically during
windows start up. Sounds like its a hardware problem. I turn on again the computer
and it totally won't start. I open  up the case and do visual inspection on the computer.
 I turn it on again and I heard strange sound coming from its power supply unit. Looks
like the power supply is not working properly.

Then I removed the power supply and take it apart. I saw one capacitor that have leaked.
 I decided to replace the power supply  with the new one since there is no available
 capacitor on my stock. Then I put back the new power supply into the case. Then I turn
on the computer and Windows start normally.

Hope this article solve your computer problem too.

The network path was not found!


Problem:
"The network path was not found." is an error message pop up every time I access to our server.Some of my co-employee could not connect to the applications stored on server. I could not also connect to the its shared folders. I could not ping its name but I can ping its ip address. I change the IP address and restart the server but nothing happens.This is what I did and it works.

Solution:
This is how I fix the problem.I uninstall the lan/network card driver and install it again. Before doing this, make sure you have the right installer of you lan/network card driver. If you do not know the necessary installer, look for the brand and model of your motherboard. Search it on the internet and download the
lan driver/network card driver for your motherboard. The drivers of your motherboard can be download to the manufacturer's website.

Hope this solution work on yours.
