This guide shows you how to set up a custom PowerShell command to interact with your local/remote Ollama server from the Windows console.

Step 1: Install PowerShell 7
  • Go to PowerShell GitHub Releases.
  • Download the latest MSI installer for Windows (e.g., PowerShell-7.x.x-win-x64.msi).
  • Run the installer and follow the prompts.
  • Start PowerShell 7 by typing pwsh in your Start menu or terminal.

Step 2: Set Up Your PowerShell Profile
  • Open PowerShell 7 (pwsh).
  • Type:
    Code:
    notepad $PROFILE
  • If prompted, create the file.
  • Paste the following function into the file: (replace model and uri with custom parameters)
    Code:
    function ollama {
        param(
            [Parameter(ValueFromRemainingArguments=$true)]
            $PromptArgs
        )
        $prompt = $PromptArgs -join " "
        $body = @{ model = "llama3.2"; prompt = $prompt } | ConvertTo-Json
        $response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://192.168.1.69:7869/api/generate" -Method POST -Body $body -ContentType "application/json"
        $lines = $response -split "`n"
        $answer = ($lines | ForEach-Object {
            try { ($_.Trim() | ConvertFrom-Json).response } catch {}
        }) -join ""
        Write-Host $answer
    }
  • Save and close Notepad.
  • Reload your profile by typing:
    Code:
    . $PROFILE

Note*
When you define a function (like ollama) in your profile, you can call it by typing its name in the console—this is known as a function-based command in PowerShell.

Step 3: Use Your Custom Command (Or alias)
  • In PowerShell 7, type:
    Code:
    ollama Your prompt here
  • Example:
    Code:
    ollama What is the capital of France?
  • You’ll see the combined response from your Ollama server.

Notes:
  • Make sure your Ollama server is running and accessible at the IP and port you specified.
  • You can change the model name or server address in the function as needed.
  • This command only sends text prompts and returns text responses.

“Fatal error: the system has become unstable or is busy…”
You’ve just been hit with the Blue Screen of Death. Anyone who’s used Windows knows the feeling.
What causes it—and how do you prevent it?

Below are the 10 most common reasons, formatted cleanly for MyBB:

1. Hardware Conflict
Windows crashes often come from devices fighting over the same IRQ (interrupt request).
To check for conflicts:
  • []Start → Settings → Control Panel → System → Device Manager
    []Look for yellow “!” icons
  • Highlight “Computer” → Properties → check IRQ list

If two devices share the same IRQ, remove/reinstall the problem device or move the card to a different slot.
Update drivers when possible.

2. Bad RAM
Faulty or mismatched RAM causes Fatal Exception Errors.
Fixes may include:
  • []Rearranging RAM sticks
    []Removing questionable modules
    []Matching memory speeds (e.g., don’t mix 70ns with 60ns)
    []Adjusting RAM wait states in BIOS

Avoid mixing ECC and non-ECC RAM.

3. Incorrect BIOS Settings
Incorrect chipset or RAM timing (e.g., CAS latency) can destabilize your system.
Before changing anything in the BIOS, write down original values.
Enable “Plug and Play OS = Yes” to let Windows assign IRQs automatically.

4. Hard Disk Problems
Fragmentation, low storage, or HDD errors can freeze your system.

Recommended maintenance:
  • []Run Disk Defragmenter
    []Free space in Temporary Internet Files
    []Empty Recycle Bin
    []Run ScanDisk weekly

5. Fatal OE & VXD Errors (Video Problems)
Video card conflicts or bad drivers commonly cause these errors.

Try:
  • []Lowering screen resolution
    []Lowering color depth
    []Reducing Hardware Acceleration
    []Installing updated video drivers
  • Checking Device Manager for conflicts

6. Viruses
Instability, missing boot sectors, or odd crashes may signal a virus.
Keep antivirus DAT files updated weekly.
Examples: McAfee VirusScan, Norton AntiVirus.

7. Printer Issues
Printers have small memory buffers that overflow easily.
If the printer freezes or behaves oddly:
  • []Unplug it for 10 seconds
    []Cold boot the printer

8. Faulty or Badly-Installed Software
Poor installations or leftover registry entries can crash Windows.

Fixes:
  • []Uninstall/reinstall software
    []Use tools like Norton Uninstall or RegCleaner
  • Boot into Safe Mode if Windows won’t load normally (press F4 during startup)

9. Overheating
CPUs that overheat (especially overclocked ones) may trigger kernel errors.
Solutions include:
  • []Replace the CPU fan
    []Install larger cooling solutions
  • Disable CPU internal cache (temporary stability fix)

10. Power Supply Problems
Spikes, surges, or outages can crash your PC instantly.
A UPS (uninterruptible power supply) gives clean power and time for safe shutdown.

Final Tip
Regular maintenance—clean drivers, stable BIOS settings, healthy RAM, and good cooling—prevents the vast majority of system crashes.]]> 10 Reasons Why PCs Crash (You Must Know)

This new generative AI service combines the power of large language models (LLMs) with organizational data from Microsoft 365 to enable new levels of productivity in the enterprise.</p>
<p>Mayo Clinic is testing the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2023/05/09/introducing-the-microsoft-365-copilot-early-access-program-and-new-capabilities-in-copilot/">Microsoft 365 Copilot Early Access Program</a> with hundreds of its clinical staff, doctors and healthcare workers.</p>
<p>“Microsoft 365 Copilot has the ability to transform work across virtually every industry so people can focus on the most important work and help move their organizations forward,” said Colette Stallbaumer, general manager, Microsoft 365. “We’re excited to be helping customers like Mayo Clinic achieve their goals.”</p>
<p>Generative AI has the potential to support Mayo Clinic’s vision to transform healthcare. For example, generative AI can help doctors automate form-filling tasks. Administrative demands continue to burden healthcare providers, taking up valuable time that could be used to provide more focused care to patients.

<p>Mayo Clinic is one of the first to start working with Copilot tools to enable staff experience across apps like Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel and more. Microsoft 365 Copilot combines the power of LLMs with data in the Microsoft 365 apps, including calendars, emails, chats, documents and meeting transcripts, to turn words into a powerful productivity tool.</p>
<p>“Privacy, ethics and safety are at the forefront of Mayo Clinic’s work with generative AI and large language models,” said Cris Ross, chief information officer at Mayo Clinic. “Using AI-powered tech will enhance Mayo Clinic’s ability to lead the transformation of healthcare while focusing on what matters most — providing the best possible care to our patients.”</p>

<p><strong>REDMOND, Wash., and ST. LOUIS — Sept. 27, 2023</strong> <strong>—</strong> Microsoft Corp. and Mercy are forging a long-term collaboration using generative AI and other digital technologies to give physicians, advance practice providers and nurses more time to care for patients and improve the patient experience. This work represents what’s next in healthcare for applying advanced digital technologies to the delivery of care to consumers.</p>
<p>“With the latest advances in generative AI, this moment marks a true phase change where emerging capabilities can help health care organizations address some of their most pressing challenges, create needed efficiency and transform care,” said Peter Lee, corporate vice president of research and incubations at Microsoft. “Mercy has a reputation for ongoing innovation and — through our years working together — has been a leader in the industry in creating an intelligent data platform on which to launch this kind of transformation. This is just the beginning, and it’s inspiring to see Mercy’s leadership adopting these tools to empower physicians, providers, nurses and all clinicians to improve patient care.”</p>
<p>Mercy plans to use Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to improve care in several immediate new ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Patients will have the information to better understand their lab results and engage in more informed discussions about their health with their provider through the help of generative AI-assisted communication. Patients will be empowered to get answers in simple, conversational language.</li>
<li>Mercy will apply generative AI when taking patient calls for actions like scheduling appointments. Beyond the initial call, the AI solution will provide recommendations for additional follow-up actions to make sure all the patient’s needs are met during a single interaction, limiting the need for follow-up calls.</li>
<li>A chatbot for Mercy co-workers will help quickly find important information about Mercy policies and procedures, and locate HR-related answers such as information on benefits or leave requirements. By helping nurses and co-workers find the information they need more quickly, they can spend more time on patient care.</li>
</ul>
<p>“Because of all the investments we have made together with Microsoft in the past few years, including the use of Microsoft’s secure cloud, we are better positioned to perform real-time clinical decision-making that ultimately improves patient care,” said Joe Kelly, Mercy’s executive vice president of transformation and business development officer. “With Microsoft, we are exploring more than four dozen uses of AI and will launch multiple new AI use cases by the middle of next year to transform care and experiences for patients and co-workers. This is predictive, proactive and personalized care at its best.”</p>
<p>As Mercy’s preferred platform for ongoing innovation, the Microsoft Cloud provides the health system with a <a href="https://customers.microsoft.com/en-us/story/1663846645014128331-mercy-health-provider-azure-en-united-states">trusted and comprehensive platform</a> to improve efficiency, connect and govern data, impact patient and co-worker experience, reach new communities, and build a foundation for ongoing innovation. By securely centralizing and organizing data in an AI-powered intelligent data platform built on Azure, Mercy is uniquely positioned to deliver on evolving clinician and patient expectations more quickly. For example, Mercy can tap into secure data insights to reduce many unnecessary patient days in the hospital by giving care teams smart dashboards and better visibility into the factors that impact how soon patients can return home. Additionally, Microsoft’s modern work solutions will help Mercy co-workers improve productivity and communication so they can spend more time improving patient care and experience.</p>
<p>“Mercy and Microsoft are creating a new path for health systems in which we are working shoulder to shoulder to combine our 200-year heritage in health care and Microsoft’s extensive expertise in cloud and AI to enhance care for the patients we serve and improve the working experience for our physicians, advanced providers, nurses and all co-workers,” said Steve Mackin, Mercy’s president and CEO. “By using technology in new and secure ways, we innovate better health care for all.”</p>
<p>The organizations recently brought together Mercy’s engineering teams and senior leaders with Microsoft leaders, engineers and industry experts for a hackathon to co-imagine and begin to co-innovate around the generative AI use cases in development. Additionally, Microsoft and Mercy are working together to showcase Mercy’s solutions in the <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mtc">Microsoft Technology Center (MTC)</a> in Chicago in 2024. The showcase will highlight transformational clinical experiences and demonstrate what the future of health care could look like using Microsoft technology.</p>

<p><strong>Austin, TX and Redmond, WA — September 14, 2023</strong> <strong>—</strong> Oracle Corp and Microsoft Corp today announced Oracle Database@Azure, which gives customers direct access to Oracle database services running on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) and deployed in Microsoft Azure datacenters.</p>
<p>Oracle Database@Azure delivers all the performance, scale, and workload availability advantages of Oracle Database on OCI with the security, flexibility, and best-in-class services of Microsoft Azure, including best-in-class AI services like Azure OpenAI. This combination provides customers with more flexibility regarding where they run their workloads. It also provides a streamlined environment that simplifies cloud purchasing and management between Oracle Database and Azure services.</p>
<p>With the introduction of Oracle Database@Azure, Oracle and Microsoft are helping customers accelerate their migration to the cloud, so they can modernize their IT environments and take advantage of Azure’s infrastructure, tooling, and services. Customers will benefit from:</p>
<ul>
<li>More options to move their Oracle databases to the cloud;</li>
<li>The highest level of Oracle database performance, scale, and availability, as well as feature and pricing parity;</li>
<li>The simplicity, security, and latency of a single operating environment (datacenter) within Azure;</li>
<li>The ability to build new cloud native applications using OCI and Azure technologies, including Azure’s best-in-class AI services;</li>
<li>The assurance of an architecture that is tested and supported by two of the most trusted names in the cloud.</li>
</ul>
<p>“We have a real opportunity to help organizations bring their mission-critical applications to the cloud so they can transform every part of their business with this next generation of AI,” said Satya Nadella, Chairman and CEO, Microsoft. “Our expanded partnership with Oracle will make Microsoft Azure the only other cloud provider to run Oracle’s database services and help our customers unlock a new wave of cloud-powered innovation.”</p>
<p>“Most customers already use multiple clouds,” said Larry Ellison, Oracle Chairman and CTO. “Microsoft and Oracle have been working together to make it easy for those customers to seamlessly connect Azure Services with the very latest Oracle Database technology. By collocating Oracle Exadata hardware in Azure datacenters, customers will experience the best possible database and network performance. We are proud to partner with Microsoft to deliver this best-in-class capability to customers.”</p>
<p><strong>Multicloud Made for Customers</strong></p>
<p>The new service delivers a fully integrated experience for deploying, managing, and using Oracle database instances within Azure. It enables organizations to drive breakthroughs in the cloud using their existing skills to leverage the best of Oracle and Microsoft capabilities directly within the Azure portal.</p>
<p>The new service is designed to eliminate customers’ biggest challenges in adopting multicloud architectures, including disjointed management, siloed tools, and a complex purchasing process.</p>
<p>As a result of this expanded partnership, customers will have the choice to deploy their Azure services with their fully managed Oracle Database services all within a single datacenter, including support for Oracle Exadata Database services, Oracle Autonomous Database services, and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). Oracle and Microsoft have also developed a joint support model to provide rapid response and resolution for mission-critical workloads.</p>
<p>Additionally, Oracle and Microsoft have significantly simplified the purchasing and contracting process. Customers will be able to purchase Oracle Database@Azure through Azure Marketplace, leveraging their existing Azure agreements. They will also be able to use their existing Oracle Database license benefits including Bring Your Own License and the Oracle Support Rewards program.</p>
<p>“As we continue our digital transformation through innovation and technology, interoperability across cloud service providers to enable safe, secure, and rapid financial transactions for our 40 million customers is paramount,” said Mihir Shah, enterprise head of data, Fidelity Investments. “Today’s announcement displays how industry leaders Microsoft and Oracle are putting their customers’ interests first and providing a collaborative solution that enables organizations like Fidelity to deliver best-in-class experiences for our customers and meet the substantial compliance and regulatory requirements with minimal downtime.”</p>
<p>“Data is the lifeblood of any business, and the cloud is the best way to analyze it so that insights become actionable,” said Magesh Bagavathi, senior vice president and global chief technology officer, PepsiCo. “As one of the largest food and beverage companies in the world with a market value of over 200 billion U.S. dollars, the ability to run our mission-critical systems and associated data in the cloud with Oracle Database@Azure gives us a scaled strategic advantage across our global operations.”</p>
<p>“We are looking to our technology partners to support Vodafone’s strategic focus on customers, simplicity and growth across Europe and Africa,” said Scott Petty, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone. “This new offering from Oracle and Microsoft does that by enabling us to deliver innovative and differentiated digital services faster and more cost effectively to our customers.”</p>
<p>“As a global leader in the financial services industry, Voya has harnessed the power of digital transformation to help provide the best experience for our customers and employees. As we continue to bring our business applications to the cloud, cloud partnerships have the potential to help the entire industry maintain better security, compliance, and performance, helping to accelerate the development of new technology products, solutions, and services that enhance customer experience and help achieve better financial outcomes,” said Santhosh Keshavan, executive vice president and chief information officer, Voya Financial, Inc.</p>
<p>Oracle will operate and manage these OCI services directly within Microsoft’s datacenters globally, beginning with regions in North America and Europe.</p>

<div><h3><i>Generative AI tool shows early signs of helping Lumen innovate for growth</i></h3>
<p><strong>DENVER, Colo., and REDMOND, Wash. — Aug. 30, 2023 —</strong> Lumen Technologies Inc. (NYSE: LUMN), a multinational technology company, is working with Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) to deploy Microsoft 365 Copilot to empower its approximately 30,000 employees. Lumen is beta-testing Microsoft 365 Copilot as a part of the Early Access Program (EAP). The company has already seen the benefits of equipping some of its teams with Microsoft’s large language model (LLM) AI solutions, with plans to deploy the tech more broadly in the future.</p>
<p>“We are thrilled to be leading the early deployment of Microsoft 365 Copilot at Lumen Technologies,” said Kate Johnson, president and CEO, Lumen Technologies Inc. “Giving our workforce the digital tools they need to deliver dramatically improved customer experiences with greater ease is an essential part of our company transformation. Our people are seeing immediate productivity improvements with Copilot, allowing them to focus on more value-added activities each day.”</p>
<p>Microsoft 365 Copilot can disrupt the telecommunications industry by providing employees with a tool to help enhance creativity, productivity and skills with real-time intelligent assistance. It has the potential to significantly improve employee productivity by automating tedious tasks and providing powerful tools for data analysis and decision-making. With features such as meeting summaries in Microsoft Teams and Copilot enhancements across Outlook, PowerPoint and other Microsoft 365 apps, employees can get back important time to deliver on strategic priorities.</p>
<p>Customer service teams at Lumen are using Copilot to surface relevant policies, summarize tickets or easily access step-by-step repair instructions from manuals. Sales and customer experience teams are using Copilot to add depth and context to customer communications and summarize actions and next steps. Across the board, teams are using Copilot to quickly create presentations, and for new business proposal and statement-of-work creation to deliver a consistent Lumen message and experience.</p>
<p>Lumen is among the first companies to start working with Microsoft 365 Copilot as one of the EAP adopters. Microsoft 365 Copilot combines the power of LLMs with data in the Microsoft Graph — calendar, emails, chats, documents, meetings and more — and the Microsoft 365 apps to turn words into a powerful productivity tool.</p>
<p>“Microsoft 365 Copilot has the power to revolutionize the way we work, enabling people to focus on what truly matters and drive their organizations forward,” said Deb Cupp, president, Americas Microsoft. “We are thrilled to be delivering this technology to innovative companies like Lumen to help them achieve their goals.”</p>
<p>As a pioneer in the telecommunications industry, Lumen is pushing the envelope when it comes to enhancing the customer experience. By harnessing the power of advanced AI technologies such as generative AI and AI language models through tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, Lumen can provide their teams with the cutting-edge tools they need to succeed and drive their business forward.</p>
