Hardware - October 2006

I have a usb data cable that I used to put pictures on my LG G4015 cell phone with a program called BitPim. My computer died and has been replaced. Now I have phone & the cable but I no longer have the drivers. Where would you look?

I'm trying to help a friend with his PC, and he has a problem I've never seen before. He can use his computer for hours with no problems, but as soon as he tries to get online it shuts off. No blue screen or anything, it just shuts off.

We reformatted it and swapped the NIC card with no success. I thought it might be overheating, but we applied a little extra thermal paste and made sure the fan was running fine, even tried running with the case open, but it's still doing it.

Has anyone ever experienced this before? What might be causing this?

I have a 5.1 Sound System that came from the factory with the computer. In the back of the tower there are 3 inputs for the 5.1 (yellow black and green), then there are a blue, a black, and a pink inputs.
I think one of them is for the mic or maybe the webcam,dunno. Do I need to install a sound card to run a line to the stereo receiver(Sony digital) or is there another way? Have tried running lines from the pink, blue, and black recepticles with an RCA jack, and no success. Thank-you for any info whatsoever.
Dell 4700 series, 2.8gig processor, 250 gig hard drive, wireless keyboard and mouse, with AT&T Yahoo! ISP.
I want to play cd's on the computer in the office while doing Yahoo! Answers, and pipe the music into the living room and kitchen. Know what I mean? Thanks again.

I want to defragment my hard drive just to try to clean things up a bit, and everytime I try it gives me this error message

"Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (C:).

Please run Chkdsk /f."

I have tried run>chkdsk / f, it gave me the option of running after the next boot. I did that, tried again, still nothing. Any help would be great.
