i bought a sony vaio vgn-fs980 laptop a week ago, and this morning i was installing halo, and the computer froze during installation, the cd drive was making a really loud sound for about 5 minutes so i shut it down. i boot it back up and the windows xp loading screen stays for 5 minutes while it used to take no more than 10 seconds. then the windows welcome screens pops up and that windows welcome sound played, but the sound was realllly distorted and skippy and scratchy and everything. i tried playing different sound files and they all sounds like that. and the computer was extremely sluggish after that. i connected headphones to it to see if the sounds ok then and it was the same. i updated my sound cards drivers and tried system restore, i looked at the running processes, and nothing changed. please i need some help really soon my dad will be back from a business trip in 4 days and if he sees the laptop like this im gonna be dead!!!!
btw the cd drive sometimes doesnt read cds right or doesnt open when i click the eject button it just makes three scratchy noises and acts as if i opened and closed it, but it reads cds most of 90% of the time
