  2. CPU-Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU-Z

    CPU-Z is more comprehensive in virtually all areas compared to the tools provided in Windows to identify various hardware components, and thus assists in identifying certain components without the need of opening the case; particularly the core revision and RAM clock rate. It also provides information on the system's GPU.

    [26] [27] [24] Windows 3.1, 95, and 98 supports customizing the color of the screen [28] whereas the color is hard-coded in the Windows NT family. [28] Windows 95, 98, and Me render their BSoDs in the 80×25 text mode with a 720×400 screen resolution. BSoDs in the Windows NT family initially used the 80×50 text mode with a 720×400 screen ...

  5. System Idle Process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Idle_Process

    In Windows NT operating systems, the System Idle Process contains one or more kernel threads which run when no other runnable thread can be scheduled on a CPU. In a multiprocessor system, there is one idle thread associated with each CPU core. For a system with hyperthreading enabled, there is an idle thread for each logical processor.

  6. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    In many applications, the CPU and other components are idle much of the time, so idle power contributes significantly to overall system power usage. When the CPU uses power management features to reduce energy use, other components, such as the motherboard and chipset, take up a larger proportion of the computer's energy.

  7. Hang (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hang_(computing)

    In many cases programs may appear to be hung, but are making slow progress, and waiting a few minutes will allow the task to complete. Modern operating systems provide a mechanism for terminating hung processes, for instance, with the Unix kill command, or through a graphical means such as the Task Manager's "end task" button in Windows (select the particular process in the list and press "end ...

  9. Reset (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reset_(computing)

    The CPU uses the values of CS and IP registers to find the location of the next instruction to execute. Location of next instruction is calculated using this simple equation: Location of next instruction = (CS<<4) + (IP) This implies that after the hardware reset, the CPU will start execution at the physical address 0xFFFF0.
