I built a new desktop computer, this motherboard has an onboard video card. Initially, the sound was working, but after a few days, no sound. I reinstalled the audio driver, numerous times, nothing.

Which processor would be faster for my system? I have read that Core 2 Duo is generally faster then Pentium D but I would like to know if that is true in this specific case. If I were to spend the same amount of money, I would either get the Core 2 Duo processor with 1 GB of RAM or the Pentium D processor with 2GB of RAM. Which would be better? Please help me decide. Thanks.

Hi guys

When i first had my pc 4 years ago almost i purchased Roxio CD Creator version 5.1.3 soon after and lately it makes my pc crash whilst copying a cd or copying files onto a CD-R disc in the drive. My Roxio program comes from Freecom Technologies.

Does anyone know why i afew tracks into copying my pc stops with a stop error? Whenever my pc comes back on after restarting it says your computer has recovered from a serious error and the techincal information given for the problem is something like sys data and mini_dmp.

I clicked on the send error support and all it states as a reason for stopping is that a driver caused the problem to occur. I have a pc running Windows XP Home edition

For those PC geniuses out there, do any of you know what may be causing my pc to suddenly crash and if so do you know what can be done to rectify this problem. It has happened 30 times or so now when copying files onto a CD-R disc using Roxio V5.1.3.

Any ideas guys?

The past couple of days, i turned on my computer, but the monitor flashed and everything turned off/got shut down instantly. My cousin is currently fixing it and said that it had to do with the Motherboard.

I had to end up using another computer instead, but if i swapped or bought a new motherboard, will every single file in that computer be deleted???

Can anyone please tell me?

I recently made a stupid mistake with partitioning my computer, and well, long story short, I reinstalled Windows. I have almost fully "recovered" from this incident, but there is one problem. Before this happened, my speakers that I plug into the jack in my computer worked before, but now it doesn't. I also have Linux on my computer, where the speakers work. I have checked the device manager and also lots of other things, including installing drivers, but nothing works. What should I do?

Right now I'm not on that computer. But the question I really have is, do I need a new motherboard if I'm upgrading the processor and hard drive and stuff like that? (This is like a 1999 computer, blah) Or does the motherboard need drivers or anything to make it work at all? It's a Dell computer (yeah.) I really don't know much about it except that it has an AGP slot still. I think it was a Dell motherboard with Intel chipset drivers. Does anyone know if I'll have to get a completely new motherboard to upgrade the hard drive and processor? Sorry for the stupid question.
