Every time i play windows media player the computer locks up after a half hour of playing, also when it does play it sounds like a disc is skipping but no disk is in the drive it is all on the hard drive, and when i move the music it does not skip on any other computer, is the sound board bad ?

What kind of computer is this? This almost sounds like an issue with some Intel chipset mother boards where the sound quality on media playback (MP3, CD, DVD) is garbled, skipping or sounds like chipmunks. I would try updating the drivers for audio component in your PC & see if that corrects the issue.
Does this happen if you use another media application such as iTunes or Winamp?

If that is an audio CD, by utilizing default it would start up taking part in on insertion. in case you want to shop the songs in laptop, open living house windows medium participant (9.0 or above), click the 'rip' tab, decide on the force the place the CD is inserted, in decision you may alter the putting for MP3 or WMA format and the bitrates. click rip. Or with out ripping in case you want to play the CD, bypass to techniques of living house windows media participant and 'decide on all' contained in the 'document variety'. Now double click the song contained in the CD to play

1)Update sound board drivers.
2)Run ScanDisk on your drive to be sure some sectors arent going bad.
3)Could be overheating...make sure all fans are working and any dust is cleaned with caned air and all slot covers are installed so that you arnt messing up circulation.
