So a while back I had a problem where my computer turned off. Tried to reboot and it would go to the windows loading screen, then restart again. Couldn't get it out of this so just gave up for a bit. Not really sure what the problem is but really have to get it handled. I thought about...

Ok well I give up. Installed the disk and it did nothing. Installed Via hd audio driver and did nothing. At this point in my device manager There are no yellow ! anywhere except for on "Microsoft kernel acoustic echo canceller". "audio device on high definition audio bus" under other devices...

Yea i'm running xp. Would removing the card automatically switch the sound to onboard? Ok I still DO have the yellow ! in my device manager under "other devices" where it reads as "audio device on high definition audio bus". And also have it under sound video and game controllers next to...

Few issues about that. I installed a Via hd audio driver and no longer have the yellow ! next to it. When i go to control panel - sounds and audio devices everything in there including the card says it's working properly. The device manager also tells me that everything is working properly...

Let me start by saying yes everything is plugged in, not muted and in working order. I rebooted my computer to come back and find it with no sound. Winamp gives me an error when trying to play, i tunes wont open, starcraft II crashes and youtube plays only the video. No system sounds either...

Ya I figured that but I wanted to get it up and running and back everything up (tons of music, movies, pictures) before I reformatted. Is this a possiblity?

So I just installed new RAM, Mobo and Processor. My old system was having problems that I was pretty sure were related to failing RAM so I decided to upgrade most of the system. (the videocard, HD, case, and PSU didn't need replacing) So basically I put all this stuff in, double checked the...

Ok well noone ever got back to me but have been looking to replace the OCZ ram with this and keep the other parts the same. Newegg.com - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Will that combo work out? thanks

ok so I posted a little bit back with some general info but did some looking around and want to ask a final question before I buy. My budget is 300 bucks for ram, processor and motherboard. However let me know if you think i'll need a larger power supply over what I currently have. My video...

Ok here's an update so give me some input on this please. My budget is 300 bucks for ram, processor and motherboard. However let me know if you think i'll need a larger power supply over what I currently have. My video card is a 9800 GT energy efficient version. I play games sometimes (not...

Ok so here is the post. I've had issues on and off for a while with an IRQL crash to blue screen. In the past I've asssumed something overheating so i cleaned the computer of dust and made sure the fans were clean and went on my way. Recently It's been acting up again and even cleaning it...

Yea well I think the problem is partially with the RAM anyway so that will be replaced. Thanks for the help when I have some money i'll post what I get. Also instead of me making a new thread i'll just post this here. The problem with my current computer has been crashes to blue screen with...

So AMD is better than the intel core processors right now?

Ok well I've been out of the hardware game for a few years and don't know what's hip these days. My currnet system is dying on my and either crashes to blue screen with an IRQL error or won't boot and just beeps. video card is newish and hard drive as well so I've come to the conclusion it's...

Ok well I got a new card today, PNY Geforce 9800 GT. I went to set it up, everything seemed ok until half way through downloading drivers the monitor went black and card made a funny noise. I shut it off, tried again and same thing. Realized afterward that the fan isn't running. Now I meet...
