I just installed a web camera and started to have static in any sound that through the speakers. I thought it was maybe because of the camera or the speakers them self. I unplugged the camera and still had it, and when I plugged my headphones in the I got the same static. I would like to know any suggestions on what might be the sorce of the problem. My soundcard going? The camera install messed with something? My PC is only 2 years old and in very good shape.

I am looking to spend about $300 to custom build my own computer. I already have a hard drive, I need tons of space for web design (memory and space). Any suggestions? I already did some searching (google, PCworld, etc.) on the net for some top picks, but what are yours?

I am looking to use this money for a desktop. I need to be able to multi task seamlessly, and run multiple applications with ease and speed. I currently use Paint.net, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and others all at the same time.

I am positive there is a solution for my budget. Help please!

I came home from work and I moved my mouse to get on the computer. My comp was loading EXTREMELY slow (there were a couple of window open already that I had left from the night before...Mozilla, WMP) My computer is about 4 years old and it does act pretty slow at times, so that isn't too big of a shock. The links and tabs in the Mozilla browser and WMP browser werent really loading, and the computer was almost completely froze. I restarted my computer from that point. Now when it begins cycle through on the way to loading windows a black screen displays and says "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A hardware/software change may have caused this. If your computer stopped responding or restarted unexpectedly, select LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIGURATION". It also gives me options to restart in different safe modes. None of these options work though...a blue screen flashes REAL quick after that says UNACCOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME followed by a brief explan...

Ok I got it to where it will read the disc. Now it says "Windows is loading files" it does that, then it looks like Windows Vista is starting up (with the load screen, similar to the XP screen)...but then after that it just goes to a blank blueish green screen. (blueish-green like a brand new vista desktop would look, somewhat)

Now any ideas of the problem? I let it sit there for awhile and it does nothing...everything in my machine should be vista compatible...here i will post all that i have.
