Programming to Physical Comptuer

Hello
Once again, I need your help
I want to know if there is a way that
the programming that can affect the real
physical computer such as the hard drive,
motherboard, RAM, Power Supply, Drive

Thank You!

Programming to Physical Comptuer

  • Simon Tian

    I've been in computing for thirty-five years.

    For fourteen of those years, I was a principal software engineer on the operating system that was NT's/XP's inspiration. They were both designed by the same person.

    Being around computers that long, every once in a while ya learn something......

  • Chris A. Palmer

    Thank You,
    but can you tell me more in detail of allocating data on the spaces of my drive

  • samdc

    I am unaware of any references that teach damaging computer systems.

  • Kiichi Takeuchi

    I am asking, do know any things that
    can teach me to do that...
    Like books, articles, tutorials, etc....

    I'd have to understand what the question is.....

    "Affect" is always a funny word.....

    I have a very fast pentium whose base operating temperature is high, and when it's compute intensive it heats, alot. I can see it warming up during virus scans, for example. In theory if I really tried I could burn my cpu out in a while loop. But I doubt it. But that's not an experiment I want to try. Changing the temperature is an "affect" but usually it won't hurt.


    There are few things you can do to hurt your mother board.  Everyonce in a while you hear rumours but I would say it would be hard to damage your mother board and the same is true for memory.

    You can demand your whole paging file a system wide resource, transiently.

    Unless quotas are set up, you can allocate all the space on your disk.

    On the other hand you can absolutely wrack havoc with your disk while doing file operations. You can delete files and directories unless privileges and protections are set up to protect against it.

    Most of the things that can be damaged can be protected. The registry even can be protected in several ways. If you're playing with the wrong things such as automated file deletion, even with protections in place you can delete your own data.

    In summary, there are things in software that I can do that could potentially damage my cpu. In older, cooler configurations this is not as significant a risk and there are protections. For instance, I run a mother board montor and I believe my motherboard monitors the cpu temperature. Should the cpu get too warm they are both set to shut my machine down and this constitutes yet another protection.

    Hi,

    I need your help i have a home pc with windows xp home edition installed my ram is 512MB and the cpu 3.20GHz, well all of the sadden my pc turns off. the temperature is about 88-90 I checked for bugs viruses etc, nothing I re-installed the windows xp I have no big files in my pc and the temperature is not dropping a bit.

    Most of the things that can be damaged can be protected. by good system administration and hardware management.. The registry even can be protected in several ways. If you're playing with the wrong things such as automated file deletion, even with protections in place you can delete your own data.

    so sorry for a such a destructive question...
    do you have any resources I can work around
    such as source files, books, articles that you
    know of

    Thank You

    Hi,

    If you know how to get into the BIOS settings ( usually press F2 or one of the FUNCTION keys straight after you turn your computer on ), look for setting the motherboard to its default settings.

    This may make your computer run slower than 3.2 Ghz but at least it should run cooler.

    Warning: If you DO NOT know what to do in a BIOS settings screen then leave it to an expert or someone who knows what they are doing.

    Alternatively, take your computer to a computer shop that does repairs and ask them to look at it for you but get a quote first.

    You might consider fitting an additional fan in your computer case ( if you know how ) so that the air circulates better, again most computer shops know how to do this.

    Regards,

    John

    I'm sorry too.

    I'm just a little frightened of this. You're asking for how to damage systems and you want it "just for reference". I know that when I was beginning with computers here were a lot of other questions I had, before I was curious about damaging computers.

    I can put it this way, it's not something that you would be likely to do inadvertently. You'd have to work to do it.

    thank you...

    just asking but how did you get to know this



  • Rukku


    Can you tell me why you are asking



  • Bill Raleigh

    oh, sorry for a late answer, the internet was down for a while...
    Okay, I would just like to know the information in reference.
    I do not mean any harm to anyone...
    Please teach me...!

    thank you
