The past couple of days, I've had issues with my computer shutting down and booting me out of everything more and more frequently. I ran CCleaner and Combofix and that seems to have taken care of that problem, in addition to fixing a couple of other things that I didn't know were there.

BUT...and this is big for me....now my speakers do not work. Truthfully, Bessie is on her way out...she's more than 7 years old and cantankerous and I can't load anything newer than XP on her or she freaks.

I tried to do some online searches and fixes to no avail. Whenever you get a moment, if you have an idea of something I could try, I would greatly appreciate it. Music is about the only thing that worked well on my computer and now that's shot, so I would grateful for any suggestions. Thanks!

When was the last time that "Bessie" was opened and the dust/furrkid furr/etc. vacuumed out of her? Sounds somewhat like an overheating issue.
