My PC is broken...

[Qonfused]

Meh.

My harddrive was messing up (clicking and then freezing my whole system, had to manually shut off) but I don't have the money right now to blow on a harddrive. So, I took everything out of the computer a blew it off with that canned air stuff. I put everything back and viola... everything was fine (weird).

But my soundcard wasn't being detected or something (I wasn't getting sound) so I went to the website and downloaded the new drivers. Bla, bla, "must restart for changes to take place." I restarted. But when I restart I get a black screen saying "the following file is missing or corrupt" and then it names and windows/32 file. Whatever. So I'm pissed.

I try to repair with my Windows CD, that took 25 minutes. Whatever. Anyways, I get my computer up and I'm happy. It was running really slow (it didn't detect my video card so new drivers for that) so I restarted. Now, it freezes during the progress bar while Windows loads or I just get a black screen. NOW my CD drive doesn't detect the Windows CD... eh... I'm so depressed.

So, overall, I need a new harddrive, CD drive, power supply (failing quickly)... and I have no money... like... $100.

That sucks, I just installed my HP Lightscribe DVD-R drive today, everything went smoothly. If that makes you feel better...


But yea, that always stinks, but on the bright side, those are generally the cheapest parts to replace.. Hell a good CD drive wont cost much at all, and a small hard drive won't drive you up too much.

Well My computer is breaking too. My sound card isn't being detected (Though I can still hear WMP music and CS/CSS sounds), so I need to reinstall drivers for that.

Also my Network card isn't being detected (Though it still sends and recieves information to and from my router and works in general). So I can get on the internet, but my router thinks I am an UNKNOWN user, and so doesn't let me connect to say my sisters shared folders.

And I'm even more broke than you

If your soundcard isn't detected by windows then WMP and CS:S shouldn't work?

All you need to do is replace the broken CD drive, do it before it shorts out your Power Supply, I lost 3 power supplies because I didn't know what the problem was, turned out it was my 2ndary drive.
