Common BSOD Error Code List for Overclocking
0x101 = increase vcore
0x124 = increase/decrease QPI/VTT first, if not increase/decrease vcore...have to test to see which one it is
-- on i7 45nm, usually means too little VVT/QPI for the speed of Uncore
-- on i7 32nm SB, usually means too little vCore
0x0A = unstable RAM/IMC, increase QPI first, if that doesn't work increase vcore
0x1A = Memory management error. It usually means a bad stick of Ram. Test with Memtest or whatever you prefer. Try raising your Ram voltage
0x1E = increase vcore
0x3B = increase vcore
0x3D = increase vcore
0xD1 = QPI/VTT, increase/decrease as necessary, can also be unstable Ram, raise Ram voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency or uncore multi unstable, increase RAM voltage or adjust QPI/VTT, or lower uncore if you're higher than 2x
0x109 = Not enough or too Much memory voltage
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
0x7E = Corrupted OS file, possibly from overclocking. Run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /r
BSOD Codes for Sandy Bridge
0x124 = add/remove vcore or QPI/VTT voltage (usually Vcore, once it was QPI/VTT)
0x101 = add more vcore
0x50 = RAM timings/Frequency add DDR3 voltage or add QPI/VTT
0x1E = add more vcore
0x3B = add more vcore
0xD1 = add QPI/VTT voltage
0x9C = QPI/VTT most likely, but increasing vcore has helped in some instances
0x109 = add DDR3 voltage
0x0A = add QPI/VTT voltage

MPC Stuck in Full Screen
I can't seem to be able to minimize my media player classic. It goes to full screen any time I play any kind of video files. Right click doesn't do anything all I can do is pause and unpase the video using left click. F11 doesn't do anything neither do alt+1 +2 +3 +4, nor alt+enter. The only way of closing it is going to task manager and killing the process. This happened to me before. I reinstaled it and it worked for a week, now again. I don't want to keep reinstaling it, at least I'd like to know what causes this.
Solutions:
- Start MPC without opening a file or press Ctrl+C (only key combination that still works) to stop the playback and exit fullscreen.
- Or open regedit and go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Gabest\Media Player Classic\Settings" then look for the key D3DFullScreen and set it to 0.
- I looked in the list with shortcut keys and apparently Ctrl+F toggles D3D Fullscreen, maybe you accidentally pressed that key combination?

How to Reset Winamp Window Position
There may be times where you accidentally drag your Winamp window and it becomes unreachable by your mouse cursor. (Yupe, it happens to me several times!)
This happens frequently especially if you use a modern skin. The quickest way to resolve this problem is to locate "studio.xnf" file and delete it. This file usually resides in either:
- Win2k/XP
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Winamp\ - Vista/Win7
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Winamp\
A more detailed explanation can be found here.
The forum mentions some good tips that you may consider to use:
- Switch to a higher screen resolution in Display Control Panel, and then there's a chance that the ml will be visible again. If so, grab & drag it into the middle of the screen, switch resolutions back, and voila!
- Disable auto resizing of video window (Prefs > Video)
- Don't dock windows together, or disable docking
(Prefs > Skins > Modern/Classic Skins: Uncheck "Dock windows at")
- Enable "Easy move" mode (Main menu > Options: Checkmark "Easy Move" - Ctrl+E)
This will make winamp windows draggable via any 'gray-space'.
With this setting disabled, you can only move winamp windows by dragging the individual titlebars.
-If using a Modern skin and all windows are docked but the main window is offscreen, then hold down the Alt key first, then drag one of the other visible windows (eg. playlist or ml) and then you should be able to drag all windows (including main) back on screen together.
- If only part of one of ml, pl or vid windows is visible (and the rest is offscreen and can't be dragged with Easy Move mode), either:
i) dock the main window to it so you can then drag the docked windows back onscreen, or
ii) use Scaling (right click/main menu > Windows Settings > Scaling) to resize the relevant window to eg. 20%, then drag it back onscreen and scale it back to 100%
As a last resort, you could even make studio.xnf read-only (right click it > properties > checkmark "read-only").
This will prevent it from ever being written to, so no modern skin setting changes will ever stick. Therefore, when you close and reopen winamp, it will then be restored to the same condition as it was before the problem occurred.
For classic skins however, we don't recommend setting winamp.ini to read-only, because then no winamp setting changes will ever take effect (well, they might on a per-session basis, but not after you close and reopen winamp). Naturally you would want to make sure that all settings/sizes/positions are set to personal taste first.
One other dirty method is to "end process" for winamp.exe in the Windows Task Manager. With this method, no settings (note: or playlist changes) will be saved, so when you reopen Winamp it should be restored to how it was before the problem occurred (assuming you haven't already closed winamp properly via the close or exit button/menu).
MySQL Field Types
I found a handy guide of MySQL field types. I may use this as my reference for MySQL tables.
| TYPE | USED FOR | SIZE |
| TINYINT | A very small integer | The signed range is –128 to 127. The unsigned range is 0 to 255. |
| SMALLINT | A small integer | The signed range is –32768 to 32767. The unsigned range is 0 to 65535 |
| MEDIUMINT | A medium-size integer | The signed range is –8388608 to 8388607. The unsigned range is 0 to 16777215 |
| INT or INTEGER | A normal-size integer | The signed range is –2147483648 to 2147483647. The unsigned range is 0 to 4294967295 |
| BIGINT | A large integer | The signed range is –9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807. The unsigned range is 0 to 18446744073709551615 |
| FLOAT | A small (single-precision) floating-point number. Cannot be unsigned | Ranges are –3.402823466E+38 to –1.175494351E-38, 0 and 1.175494351E-38 to 3.402823466E+38. If the number of Decimals is not set or <= 24 it is a single-precision floating point number |
| DOUBLE, DOUBLE PRECISION, REAL |
A normal-size (double-precision) floating-point number. Cannot be unsigned | Ranges are -1.7976931348623157E+308 to -2.2250738585072014E-308, 0 and 2.2250738585072014E-308 to 1.7976931348623157E+308. If the number of Decimals is not set or 25 <= Decimals <= 53 stands for a double-precision floating point number |
| DECIMAL, NUMERIC |
An unpacked floating-point number. Cannot be unsigned | Behaves like a CHAR column: “unpacked” means the number is stored as a string, using one character for each digit of the value. The decimal point, and, for negative numbers, the ‘-‘ sign is not counted in Length. If Decimals is 0, values will have no decimal point or fractional part. The maximum range of DECIMAL values is the same as for DOUBLE, but the actual range for a given DECIMAL column may be constrained by the choice of Length and Decimals. If Decimals is left out it’s set to 0. If Length is left out it’s set to 10. Note that in MySQL 3.22 the Length includes the sign and the decimal point |
| DATE | A date | The supported range is ‘1000-01-01’ to ‘9999-12-31’. MySQL displays DATE values in ‘YYYY-MM-DD’ format |
| DATETIME | A date and time combination | The supported range is ‘1000-01-01 00:00:00’ to ‘9999-12-31 23:59:59’. MySQL displays DATETIME values in ‘YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS’ format |
| TIMESTAMP | A timestamp | The range is ‘1970-01-01 00:00:00’ to sometime in the year 2037. MySQL displays TIMESTAMP values in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS, YYMMDDHHMMSS, YYYYMMDD or YYMMDD format, depending on whether M is 14 (or missing), 12, 8 or 6, but allows you to assign values to TIMESTAMP columns using either strings or numbers. A TIMESTAMP column is useful for recording the date and time of an INSERT or UPDATE operation because it is automatically set to the date and time of the most recent operation if you don’t give it a value yourself |
| TIME | A time | The range is ‘-838:59:59’ to ‘838:59:59’. MySQL displays TIME values in ‘HH:MM:SS’ format, but allows you to assign values to TIME columns using either strings or numbers |
| YEAR | A year in 2- or 4- digit formats (default is 4-digit) | The allowable values are 1901 to 2155, and 0000 in the 4 year format and 1970-2069 if you use the 2 digit format (70-69). MySQL displays YEAR values in YYYY format, but allows you to assign values to YEAR columns using either strings or numbers. (The YEAR type is new in MySQL 3.22.) |
| CHAR | A fixed-length string that is always right-padded with spaces to the specified length when stored |
The range of Length is 1 to 255 characters. Trailing spaces are removed when the value is retrieved. CHAR values are sorted and compared in case-insensitive fashion according to the default character set unless the BINARY keyword is given |
| VARCHAR | A variable-length string. Note: Trailing spaces are removed when the value is stored (this differs from the ANSI SQL specification) |
The range of Length is 1 to 255 characters. VARCHAR values are sorted and compared in case-insensitive fashion unless the BINARY keyword is given |
| TINYBLOB, TINYTEXT |
A BLOB or TEXT column with a maximum length of 255 (2^8 - 1) characters | |
| BLOB, TEXT |
A BLOB or TEXT column with a maximum length of 65535 (2^16 - 1) characters | |
| MEDIUMBLOB, MEDIUMTEXT |
A BLOB or TEXT column with a maximum length of 16777215 (2^24 - 1) characters | |
| LONGBLOB, LONGTEXT |
A BLOB or TEXT column with a maximum length of 4294967295 (2^32 - 1) characters | |
| ENUM | An enumeration | A string object that can have only one value, chosen from the list of values ‘value1’, ‘value2’, ..., or NULL. An ENUM can have a maximum of 65535 distinct values. |
| SET | A set | A string object that can have zero or more values, each of which must be chosen from the list of values ‘value1’, ‘value2’, ... A SET can have a maximum of 64 members |
HWMonitor TMPIN0, TMPIN1, TMPIN2
For those who are always on constant watch of their rig temps, HWMonitor provides a decent temp monitoring tool. One of the questions people always ask is around TMPIN0, TMPIN1, and TMPIN2.
HW Monitor Screenshot
There are a lot of different opinions as to what those three variables represent. One of HardwareCanucks.com OP members posted this finding:
Comparing HWMonitor with Everest Ultimate I get this...
BIOS - HWMonitor - Everest
SYS = TMPIN0 = Motherboard
CPU = TMPIN1 = CPU
MCH = TMPIN2 = Northbridge
A slightly different finding was posted by an OP at Overclock.net:
Temp0 CPU
Temp1 Mosfet
Temp2 NB
ROM Naming Convention
While I was searching for this game, I came across a rather interesting ROM name code:
Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu (Riki Kunio) (J) [T-Eng0.95][o1]
So what does T-Eng mean? A Google search sends me to this set of ROM naming convention standards below. Credit goes to PocketHeaven.com
These are some of the useful ROM tags:
[a] Alternate version of a rom, to fix bugs or to eliminate compatibility with Game Genie or Action Replay codes
[b] Bad dump: These usually happen with a bad electrical connection or an incompatibility between the game and the copier. More rarely, an FTP upload may have been corrupted.
[c] Cracked: ...
[f] Other fix: Fixed to run better on a copier or emulator
[h] Hack, such as a release group's intro, cheating, compatibility with multiple regions, graphic changes, or even a total conversion of the game engine
[o] Overdump: Dump containing repeated data that should be discarded
[p] Pirate: These hacks often include changes to the legal and title screens.
[t] Trained: A trainer is a combination of an intro and one or more cheats; the intro allows the player to turn cheats on or off.
[!] Verified good dump, an exact copy of the cartridge with no modifications
[!p] Good dump pending
[T-] Old translation
[T+] New translation
(Unl) Unlicensed commercial release
(-) Unknown year
(M#) Multiple languages (for example, M3 for three languages)
(###) Checksum value, usually CRC32
(??k) rom size
ZZZ_ Unclassified
A shorter version of these codes can also be found on Romulation.net here.
