Description
Newnes PC Troubleshooting Pocket Book provides a concise and compact reference that describes, in a clear and straightforward manner,
the principles and practice of faultfinding and upgrading PCs and peripherals. The strong practical emphasis is backed up with many
illustrations and examples of real-lie problems. The book is aimed at anyone who is involved with the installation, configuration, maintenance,
upgrading, repair or support of PC systems. It also provides non-technical users with sufficient background information, charts and checklists
to enable the diagnosis of faults and help to carry out simple modifications and repairs. The new edition of PC Troubleshooting will
continue to include a number of short cuts that are instrumental in avoiding hours of potential frustration and costly effort.

New and expanded sections on: modern machines (Pentium II, III, IV, AMD); modern buses (FSB, AGP, Cyrix, Chip sets); different RAM chip
types and connectors; Win 2000, ME, XP; latest SCSI standards, Ultra DMA, "live" re-partitioning of the disc, FAT16, FAT36, NTFS, performance
and compatibility differences; 'famous' viruses and personal firewalls.
