Sometimes when trying to access your favourite website, Chrome may respond with "This page isn't working, if the problem continues please contact the site owner. HTTP error 400".  Therefore making it impossible to access the desired site from within Chrome's normal mode.

Ever experienced this error when installing MikText for using latex on windows. This was a weird one, given we ran the installation as admin and in an administrator privileged account yet the error kept given this error. The solution was very simple and direct.


You may have experienced this problem a couple of time, where your SD Card decides to go haywire on you and the only available option on your device is Erase Everything (Format). Here are some simple fixes that may help.


--- Advert ---

Internal SD Card Reader Available: 

Try with SD Lock off:

if your laptop has an internal SD Reader, there exist two quick fixes that usually works.
insert you SD-Card in an SD-Card Adapter, and see if Windows detects it, if Windows does. Follow the following steps.


The first step is to note the assigned drive letter; These can be seen from This PC / My Computer / Disk Management.

  • Go to start, click on run (alternatively Window key + R) enter cmd.
    • or type in Start, Command Prompt.
  • Type chkdsk /f  /r /x driverletter: 
    • i.e drive letter is the letter assigned to your drive. e.g if the letter e is assigned to your drive, then sample input may look like this:      chkdsk /f /r /x e:     
if your card is not detected or after detection, you cannot access it or get these error messages:
Cannot open volume for direct access 
The type of the file system is RAW.
CHKDSK is not available for RAW drives.
The type of the file system is FAT32.
Error in IOCTL call.
Then the below solution may help out.


Try with Write Lock on

Sometimes, trying your sdcard with write lock on does the magic, although you don't get to run a checkdisk on your sdcard, but you get the opportunity to backup your files before attempting the format option on your phone. (As at time of writing, I just had similar problem and this worked).





bsod wit hqr

I ran into a BSOD yesterday, yes BSODs are quite unfortunate to experience but on a brighter note, it looked different :D. Almost same but some very noticeable face-lifts.


Here is the solution for those who get to run into this annoying restart loop, where you constantly get the BSOD DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (btfilter.sys) and sometime get a System_Service_Exception.


yeah, I recently could not get a right zoom level from my TV to show the bottom border's of active icons when in 1080, so I decided to adjust the screen offset a bit, and set a profile for TV mode. How? here is simple procedure.


With the anniversary update last week, Windows 10 finally officially allows for a dark mode in Theme. With the dark mode, you no longer have to glare at the eye-piercing light/white background, especially when working or programming with lights off.

Hi! guys. Ever ran into that issue where you connect your Laptop to an external display, e.g TV; but AUDIO still comes from your Laptop's speaker. Half of the time a system restart fixes this, but just in case you restart and it doesn't still work, here are quick steps to get it fixed.



Some users may have been experiencing flickering issues when playing games. This can be particularly annoying and not occur in every game.


If you run into this error while trying to update your Xperia device using "Sony PC Companion", then PC companion is really having issues starting the Sony Mobile Update engine. The solution is a fairly simple one.


This error is a fairly new one, only recently surface on Windows 10; it is sometimes very similar to KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR, have very similar symptoms. PCs on Windows 10 haven't been experiencing the KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR but have been experiencing this, especially those that were formerly getting KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR.


If during installation of the new Realtek Audio Driver, you are asked to restart, and after each restart you get the message about the install procedure which reads, (a) uninstall current driver restart (b) install driver, with the "next" button starting the uninstallation of the present driver, only to realise after restart, the same message comes up, over and over and over again (LOOP).

Ever felt that few seconds lag or freeze, after your back-light goes off due to inactivity, you hit a keyboard or your mouse and the screen shows black for a while, then suddenly flickers back on, and functions normally, but brings out a message.


Many users have been having this critical error, and it seemed rather upsetting as it is barely less than a week since the release of the Windows 10 and a serious bug like this shows up. The full error reads:

Some users who accidentally interrupt their update (restart or shutdown), have been experiencing issues resuming the update, "Something happened error". The fix for this error is totally simple.



The steps to get your PS3 controller working with your PC are very easy, we won't be using MotionJoy in this tutorial, we will be using XInput Wrapper for DS3 (SCP DS3 driver). This guide will work for any original PS3 DualShock 3 controller, and fake/knockoff cheap Oshodi DualShock controller to work.


Windows 10, was officially released on the 29th of July (yeah, old news :) ). Many still haven't gotten this update and they are bored to death of waiting, but here's a guide to directly skip the roll-out  background download and download the update directly....

      Many Viruses out there, hide your Folders and create Shortcuts or Application of the same name and same Icons as the Folders in the same directory. Many times people follow these shortcuts and end up infecting their system with this annoying virus.
