One of the worst nights in case of my own computer repair

Hello Again, my followers and readers! I want to share the experience of my super hectic, one of the worst nights ever I spent yesterday. So why is that? What happened? Actually I will state my ambitions first then will explain the whole.

Ambition :-
I planned to Format my Primary Partition and replace my CPU Thermal Compound, which normally takes 2 hours maximum with other Software installations after format, which is 3 hours maximum. But all of this turned out to take 14 and a Half hours of hectic work. This was just due to bad luck.

Now I will start my story with a bit of theatricality and like the starting of the Legendary NFS Most Wanted 1.

Here it goes :-

30 days ago :- My OS Which was a pirated Windows 7 ultimate like every others around me, started to become unstable. It suddenly gave an "explorer has stopped working"

                                                 "Check an online solution for this program"
                                                                  "Restart the program"

And here my cursor froze every time. I tried everything of my knowledge without any sign of success.

And I should define my specs to go on. My PC specs are Gigabyte H61M - S2P Motherboard, 4*2 GB Starlite RAMs, Intel Pentium Dual Core 2.8 GHZ G2010, Local made Frontech 650 W SMPS, XFX ATI Raedon HD 6670 GDDR3 GPU, Local Foxin Cabinet, 2 Inhale fans of one 80 MM Inhale side, 120MM Inhale front, 2 Exhausts 80 MM. Back and side, And an Intel Stock cooler, which a 10 Rupees (0.16 USD) worth of Zinc thermal compound was applied. It is summer now, CPU heating at 40 Degree minimum, and when playing games, 55 - 60. So My good Friend gave me this Cooler master thermal compound of Rs 450 ( 7.35 USD) worth.

15 Hours ago :- Took the Windows 7 Disk, Restarted my computer, Inserted the disk, Entered into the disk, Selected Install Windows 7, Selected Advanced installation mode, The list of the drives came, And Here is the 1st problem begins. The Installer was saying - Windows cannot be installed in this drive because of MBR Partition table problem. I quit and deleted the C partition from Linux stored in another drive, and don't know why and how, The rest of the drives merged up into a whole 841 GB of un allocated disk space, which I had to create a new volume and format, and My super precious data, My Mom's data, my all software backups, Movies, videos, All gone in 1 minuite. I started to sweat instantly, I turned off my PC and went out for a break. Now in this break, I met my friend who gave me the Cooler Master thermal compound. Came home with it. Now


11 Hours ago :-
Unplugged all my Inputs, Took and placed my Cabinet on my bed, Opened the left cover up, and ((before saying after "and", Let me mention, In India here, we play Holi  on 16th. Holi is a colour festival where people throws flower made colours called "ABIR" and chemical colours all day long and have fun)). Some friends came up and threw me colours and I was on the Open cabinet then, I protected my PC as possible, and fell down by my back to prevent it. Though My whole mother board became red. I bathed my self and came back in the room again. My objective was to open the CPU Cooler, Unplug hook the CPU, Alcohol remove the thermal compound, re apply the compound and re hook and fix it again which normally takes 15 - 25 minuites maximum. Instead of that, I had to open every parts of the cabinet even the Front panel too, Remove every colour powders and strains, After that I had to remove every components of the motherboard except the Cooler and first cleaned with Paint brush and then blew air out of small pipes to remove the rest, After that when I opened the CPU cooler, I say the CPU was red too. This was a risky part. I had to thoroughly remove it, Then as usual removed the paste, re applied it and re assembled my PC. Which took like 4 hours. When I powered it on, It shut itself down with a sound from inside. I had to figure the problem out which took about half an hour. It was the Deepcool Inhale fan which was short circuiting.

6 Hours ago :-
After I fixed all my Hardware problems, I came back with the OS and Software problem part. Now Hands on my head. What to do? what to do? I was just looking on the 840+ GB of Un allocated space and mourned. I finally came up with an Idea, which was damn successful. I got all my partitions back as Intact it was except for the drive letters which I changed later, Formated my Primary partition, and did all the after format stuff, and now it is 5 AM in the morning. I am finally done working. I sat here at noon at 2:30 PM, break for 1 hour at the middle, then again left at 5 AM writing my whole worst experience in my blog. 
  
                   Now for the Geek part, How did I got all my partitions back, I will do a post later. 


THANK YOU

Indian evolution of 21st Century? Wait, I smell Shit!

Hello my followers and my respected readers. I know well that people will say a lot of angry comments and a lot of Boos, But I have to say what I feel in my own blog. To be informed, that me myself is an Indian, And I just turned 20, which means I am travelling through the evolution, and it signifies that I should like it. But I don't. I tried writing this whole thing which I am going to write in Facebook, but It didn't feel right. Writing cannot be saved, no body reads.etc.etc. So what I am angry about in the evolution of India in the 21st century especially in the metropolitan cities like Calcutta?

Actually, there are a plenty of stuff to hate. But I will mention some of them which comes to my mind.


First of all, lets start with the Rich people here. You know, Rich people and Classy people have a huge difference. In India, Rich people are booming all around there. But they are only Rich. Not classy. Which means they do not have a sense of culture, do not have depth in knowledge, don't knows how to speak, experts at keeping other people down, dis-respectful etc.etc. now You might be wandering I am just a 20 year old boy, what do I know about real life? Actually My parents are Music teachers, which help me to meet a lot of people daily. I am a musician too. Some rich people also said to me that "Why do you do music? Leave that crap or you will end up like many other musicians, who are living their lives day to day." This is not the problem, because if 90% people of the whole world says Music is a thing that non-intelligent people does who are unable to do studies due to being a non intelligent, That even does not effect 1% of music. Basically Music is a very rich thing which some people can take. Same as Chocolates, Sweet chocolate can be taken by all, but Rich Dark chocolate can be taken by a very few. So you can already understand how this kind of rich people are. Another flaw of the typical Indian commercial and corporate world is that they want to live the life style of an American. They speak English even with their parents, drinks nothing but costly scotches when with office colleagues, but plan to stab them for a promotion in the back. If they like or listen to music, they only talk about Bob dylan, Brian Adams etc. Talks business only about apartments, Big Buildings, Their living rooms, Where they went yesterday for an auction, which and with what amount they bought a painting, iPhones, Blackberrys.etc.etc. These are not a problem right? Then what it is? It is that they do these even they like or not. They only do it for social status. They know nothing about a an iPhone, What are the differences with a Nexus and an iPhone. They just buy it to show off. One of my friend says that iPhone is the best because when we sent an SMS, it will show at the bottom - sent from iphone, which will show the status of the buyer. So I was talking about American lifestyle right? 1st of all Americans dont work this way to show their social status all the way around. They treat their friends good, does stuff for fun, And is independent. Do you think that even talking with Parents in USA Accent english in India leaving the Mother tounge apart is a very smart thing to do?  Basically These Corporate sellouts are a bunch of crap making the way for himself to show off social status only. But Classy people are the total opposite. They may have two iPhones. 2 nexuses, 2 blackberrys, All branded and designer cloths wearing in, but they never ever show off and are very respectful. Some of my Mom's students are Classy. They respect music like hell, though they are in a very high degree in education and have a deep foundation in knowledge of what they do. They may like any form of music. Its may be the treasure of India, which is the Divine and Spiritual Indian Classical, Or Pure Rock, Jazz etc. But never show it off to act smart. They may drink Glen McKenna or may be a cheap drink. They never matter. They are independent. They are also very down to the ground people. I am myself a Rock musician. I am myself a big fan of USA, but never ever speak english, talk bob dylan and john petrucci, in all situations to act smart and to show high status. This is the part of Corporate sellouts

Now coming to the part of students like me. Another upcoming bunch of sellouts. those corporate sellouts I was talking about spend the same life like what we are spending. 20 years old now a days are so much desperate to reach to the top and to become super rich, that they end up like those I was talking. They study only for grades and a great Job. But ask them any thing in detail, I bet they can't answer it. For example, In case of commerce students, ask why a particular may be debit, written in the left, why credit in the right, x adjustment is added or subtracted, etc. They will simply fail but is able to score 90% marks in the exam. In case of Science and Mathematics, they get good scores. Ask a basic question. What is LOG? why it is done? You will see a silent ass face. In case of Music, the smoke weed like Bob Marley, Have a guitar of Gibson, but neither can sing nor play like him. They do this to show off people how Independent and talented musicians they are. They start smoking Cigars, and Drinking whiskies before they can even play a blue note. You can already picture India here, that majority of people here does stuff to show of their high status and an American type lifestyle, which other sellouts does appreciate. But there are classy students too, which are the exact opposite. They know exactly what they are doing. They end up respected people like scientists, great musicians.etc.etc. 


I don't know if me and other classy people can change our country, But we are definitely trying and may be successful one day.....  

Please go through what I wrote and leave me comments, Likes, Shares, And Follows. I will be so much obliged then. Help me to reach to people.....


Thank You
