Idealization

Idealization is simplifying text for purposes of studying the grammar of a language. Grammar is not limited to the subject-verb agreement of a language, it is rather a description of language. To describe language, there is a need to idealize text into sentences that follows the N + V phrasal structure. Errors found in spoken language, hesitations, repetitions and run-on utterances are dropped when idealizing text.

Oftentimes when idealizing poetry, lines of text in a stanza are connected till it forms a complete sentence. However, if the idealized text is a long complex sentence with too many clauses, simplifying the text to shorter sentences would be better. To do this, create a two column chart. On the left is the raw data signifying the actual poem. Write the idealized version on the right. By putting these two side by side, it is easier to see how ellipsis are retrieved and deletions are done in the process of idealizing text.

System Fan Abnormally slow

Lower fan is okay but the upper fan is too slow.

Solution: Connect to another power connector.

The upper fan is abnormally slow. It shares power with the lower fan. It was all working fine for a year till a few weeks ago, the upper fan is abnormally slow and its no longer quiet. Solution is simply to connect it to a dedicated power connector all by itself.. It’s now super quiet and works fine.

Fixing Boot Loop

Problem:

  1. The computer will turn on only for a few seconds then shuts off; or,
  2. The computer will turn on for a few seconds, then shuts off immediately, then turns on again by itself, then shuts off… unending cycle of on and off.
  3. The computer will turn on till the Windows Desktop appears then shuts off by itself; or,
  4. The computer will turn on till the Windows Desktop appears. You can open apps for a few minutes ( ~ 5 minutes) then shuts off by itself.

Solution:

  1. Change the power supply (PSU). I changed mine from 450 watts (Corsair) to 600 watts (X-Power)
  2. Just to be sure, I removed the old CMOS battery and changed it to a new one.
  3. I also got a new casing (PC Cooler) because those very tiny connectors for the front panel HDD LED, Power,etc. oozed with green sticky liquid and its wires are falling off.

After fixing this and when Windows booted normally, I performed chkdsk E: /f /r /x . My C: on SSD surprisingly had no errors. But my HDD which is partitioned E: suffered the brunt of the boot loop problem where the unending cycle of on and off took a toll on it.

Conclusion: My Samsung SSD is tough. Can withstand the stress of automatic shutdown. Not so with the HDD though.

12. Once Office 2016 is deleted, you may close the registry editor and go back and open any of your Office 365 application. This time Office 2016 will not supersede and you will successfully open Office 365.
