There's a small problem with my computer:

The sound stoppped working suddenly. I had my boxes set-up on it, but always left them on when I shut down the computer. Thought it was harmless, but sudenly, the sound stopped working. I already checked if something on my main board was broke but everything worked properly, so maybe it's the card or something, I dunno!

Maybe someone knows how to restore the sound of my computer! Oh, and I already checked if it was set on mute but it wasn't... So I suspect it's the card but maybe someone here knows how to fix it without having to buy something new?!...

Thanks in advance, StarcraftManiac.

Oh, another problem. Windows Media gets FUBARed when it's embedded in Firefox.

I sometimes get an error message, then I get a black screen within Firefox saying "No video" or something like that. But the video still loads and still plays, just without any player controls.

I reinstalled Firefox and still have the issue so it must be a WMP problem. I've been too lazy to reinstall it so I'm guessing that's it, but it's still weird.

A 180W power supply is pretty weak. Is there any way you can get an upgraded PS?? I would recommend AT LEAST a 350W PS for gaming.

First, make sure your speakers are working. Unplug the jack from the computer and plug it into the headphone port of any other audio device (such as an ipod). If you get no sound, replace your speakers. If you get sound, try the headphone port on the PC.

If you get sound from the speakers out of another device, but not from your computer, you MAY have a sound card issue. Go into the volume control mixer by double clicking on the volume icon in your system tray (this will show volumes for different audio sources such as Wave, Line In, Synth, etc). Make sure all audio sources, especially Wave, are turned up and un-muted. 

If you still have no luck, try re-installing the driver. Right-click on My Computer and select Manage. Go to the Device Manager, find your sound card, right-click on it, and select Remove. Reboot your computer and it should detect the device and reinstall the driver. 

If you still can't get any sound, replace your soundcard with a cheap Soundblaster Audigy.

Hoo boy. I feel good.

I felt crappy at first, because I got a dead pixel on my 22" monitor I bought last November. I tried flashing random colors with pixel saving software, but it didn't work.

Then I turned the monitor off, grabbed a wet cloth, applied pressure to the spot with my finger, turned the monitor back on, let go, and VOILA! The pixel that was stuck bright green is back to normal.

Apparently it might happen again as pixels that stick tend to stick on multiple occasions, but at least I found a fix.

Hey guys, I need help with my computer. Yes, ME >_>

Yesterday my computer was working as usual, then when I'm back home today, when I turn it on, it says "NTLDR is missing". I've gotten this error in the past, but I alway took the easy way (format), but now I can't do that as I have some important stuff on that hard drive. What would be the process to fix this? By the way, I'm using Windows XP Pro SP2 Har, har, har! Edition if you're wondering.

Thanks in advance fellas. I'm gonna search Google for this while I wait for replies.

This may be the stupidest problem ever, but my usb micro sd adapter isn't being recognized by my pc. This is after reinstalling vista. It works in my other computers, but not in this one. It also works in ubuntu, but it's not being recognized by vista. My usbs are working fine btw.

Is this thread dead?

If it works in other OS's, then it's because Vista doesn't has a driver for it. What brand is it and all? You may try to get a driver for it from the web.

 Lol it doesn't have a brand. It came with a micro sd I bought off ebay.
