New Pc Having Window's Issuse's I think :-/

Hi guys Hopefully you can help me out here.

I just got a new PC that i custom made and for some odd reason its not running the way i know it should.

This is the Specs:
MotherBoard:Gigabyte GA-K8NSC-939 Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 250Gb ATX AMD Motherboard

Processcor: AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor

Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700LE

Ram : CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory

Hard Drive : Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive

Sounds like a solid Machine well its not and I dont understand why. everything was working great then out of the blue. Windows isnt loading right. It will load up and show my desktop but i have to wait like 5-10mins b4 im able to do anything with loading programs all im able to do is browse the web.

Also My Sound wont work as well. like Windows loading into Desktop sound doesnt play anymore nor can i use Windows media player or anything that plays music or sound from a video or Game. It says My Mixer isnt installed when ive installed it 3 times now. With Ventrilo which is a Voice comm. Program i can Hear people speak but i can say a word.

Please Help if you can.

 

I would recommend that you visit this thread, and follow all the steps within. Then, you should go to this thread, and follow it's steps. This will ensure that you are free from malware, and protect you in the future. If this doesn't solve your problem, then at least we have a baseline upon which we can begin troubleshooting it.

 

Ok so ive done everything for both of those threads and im still not getting anything. So what do i do now? With my real problem. I cant get any Sound with my Video games, Movies, Ventrilo Communitacation Program, or Playing Music. As well as I dont get any Sound when i Load Windows up with that retard sound when you load into Desktop anymore. I know its not spyware i know its not a Virus trojan or anything other then a software Issuse. So please what do i need to do next?

 

Also i didnt say that On top of the Sound issuse it takes 10min's While loading on the Desktop for me to be able to do anything I.e Open programs. play game Check Mail...... then when it is loaded everything pops up at once.

 

Bump please Can i get some help.....

 

For the sound issue, go to control panel and select 'Sounds and audio devices' make sure that the 'Mute' checkbox is unchecked.

If it is, press the 'Advanced' button in the 'Device Volume' box. Make sure that all the sliders are all the way up, and that none of the mute boxes are checked.

Let us know how that goes.

As for the startup problem, it sounds to me that you may have too many programs loading at startup. Hit windows key + r (or click start --> run), type 'msconfig' (without the quotes), and press enter (or click OK). Select the startup tab of the dialog that appears, see how many programs are listed with a checkbox beside them. For everyone you KNOW you can do without automatic start up, uncheck the box. Click apply, and restart your machine.

Let us know how that goes, too!

 

Hi Rios
If this is a "clean" Windows install, then the Audio device drivers may not be installed. Usually, there is a Motherboard CD with the drivers for all the built-in devices. Just run the CD and install the Motherboard Chipset Drivers.
If this install was already on the HardDisk, the Audio drivers may belong to another sound card that Windows won't be able to find anymore. Delete them in Device Manager and install the Chipset Drivers from the Motherboard CD.
Then, any audio codecs that get installed, will have something to hook into.
