Problem #1: I'm currently having an issue with my sound card right now. Actually, it's not a separate card, but it is built into the mobo which is the Leadtek K7ncr18G-Pro. It seems to be a good all in one mobo, but it's had issues.
Here's when the problem started. About a month ago the video aspect messed up (had to hit F8 to fix that). Then after my cousin and I fixed that issue, I was not able to log into the computer at start-up. It said there were fatal errors or something like that. I never used a password with my user name, so I'd just hit OK. (BTW, I'm runnin Windows XP Pro) Ever since I've had to make a new user/login name , the sound has been messed up. It states that there is not an audio device connected. I figured I could just reload the drivers off of the cd included with the mobo. Well, as it was nearly finished installing the drivers a pop-up opened stating that there was an error and that "Access is denied". I'm at a total loss as to what to do. Is this related to the username mess-up? If so what can I do? It really sucks not having sound!
Problem #2: The processor I purchased for my computer is the AMD XP 2000+/266 Athlon which is supposed to run at 1.67ghz, but when my computer starts up and in the system info area it only states that my processor is running at 1.250ghz. WTF? Did I get a wrong processor? I guess I didn't verify that it was the correct processor when I received everything from Newegg.com. Or is there just a messed up setting somewhere?
Thanks!
