Computer sound hardware help.? My computer was struck by lightning, came in through the modem (which exploded like a firecracker), through the ethernet cable, into the back of it. It stopped working for a couple of days, then miraculously started working again, of its own accord. Afterwards, I had to replace the internet port, but the sound only comes out of one side now. I don't know if I have to replace the sound card, or something else, having limited knowledge in this aspect. In short terms: What do I need to replace to get my sound coming out of all speakers again? Hardware Malfunction. Computer type: 2006 Alienware Aurora Desktop. I would really appreciate a straight answer, not being told to take it to someone else, which will inevitably cost more than it would to swap out a single part. The speakers aren't the problem, I have already tried.

What might a computer hardware engineer do? I want to go into computer engineering someday and I was wondering what each type of computer engineer would do. I would also like to know what I'd be best at. I want to be able to code applications and small games, but my true skill in computers, is the knowledge of them. I'm a hardware freak, I always read about different chips, cards, and other components. I want to(at some point) be making 120k a year. Money is a large part of it. Also, if it helps, I can easily learn things that I enjoy, or want to know badly, so coding could probably come very easily. Do you think I should learn to code in highschool, where could I learn it? Another career I'd like to pursue is business.

I need some help building a Gaming Computer please.? So Im constantly told that if i want a good gaming computer for a price that is not stupid then i should consider building it my self. However.... Im not to confident in my computer experience im pretty good with computers and still learning a lot, putting the computer together is not the issue its just buying the right parts.

G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240 Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ ( Although i was set on getting anything higher than 4 GB after researching most of the games out today only require around 4 GB to run them i could always upgrade later on to 6 or 8 GB, let me know if thats a wise choice ). $119.99 4. GIGABYTE GA -870A-UD3 AM3 AMD 870 SATA 6GB/S USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard ( now this is where im completely clueless i don't know much about motherboards i just recently found out that this is where the Video card goes and also the RAM and thats just because i was looking for one for so long, tell me if this is a good MB or if i should upgrade or downgrade. ) $93.99 5. Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1 TB 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache SATA 6.0GB/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (I think this is all i need for my HD space and also i want to downgrade to 500GB i dont really need 1TB atm, if this isnt what i need for HD space then let me know.) $89.99 6. Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit $99.99 7. APEVIA ATX AQ700W-BK 700W ATX 12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Power Supply ( Im guessing this is correct not sure if i need 700W but i looked up the Video Cards requirements that i listed uptop and it said it needed a minimum of 550W's, if i dont need this much let me know ) $64.99 everything is being purchased at Newegg.com Thats all that i got and them i stopped because i didn't know what's next, I just want to be able to play all games on highest with no lag ( Crysis , SC2, Diablo 3, CoD BO , and others ) My Budget comes to a halt at $ 850.00's Yes for what im asking its probably nothing but its what i have and i need to work with it feel free to suggest any brand any type of hardware or if i should upgrade that piece or downgrade but just keep in mind $850.00's and i want to play todays games on high. Thanks a bunch i really appreciate it, would be doing wonders and saving me from purchasing a expensive prebuilt computer that doesn't exactly meet my standards. (keep in mind i still have not purchased a Moniter or mouse or keyboard :D.....)

Which on-line company should I buy computer hardware from? I'm building my first computer ever and want to buy hardware and software on-line because I feel you get a much better deal on-line than in a local computer store (we only have Circuit City, OfficeMax, and Staples in my area anyway). Besides, most of these stores don't sell the type of hardware I'll need like motherboard, cpu, case, power supply, just for example. I started thinking I should ask experienced computer people who have bought on-line which company's are the best 3 or 4 companies to buy from. Can you help me please? I want to buy from a company that treats you right and doesn't make it difficult to return damaged products. I've heard NewEgg.com is one of the best but I'd like to hear it from you guys. Are there others that are just as good or better than NewEgg.com. How about Tiger Direct.com and Fry's.com? Thank you. Your input will be appreciated. P.S. What motherboard is best for my AMD 64 X2 slot AM2 processor (must have IEEE 1394)? Do I really have to be an "expert" to build a computer? What about ZipZoomFly? I've ordered some things from them and I've been very pleased. Just wondering, because no one has mentioned them.

What career path should I choose, violinist or all around computer engineer(software/hardware)? These are my two favorite hobbies and I really for the most part want to choose what I should go for. I am a sophmore in high school and I am currently playing on violin La Folia from Suzuki violin book 6, I realize I am quite far behind in expectations but I really love to play my instrument. Than again is it even worth it to persue a career in violin because there are so many people that are so much better than me, for instance my friend has just finished mastering the mendalsonviolin concerto in eminor 1st movement. Let me tell you he played this amazingly and I believe he could pull off a career in violin but pitting me against him and all the other uber young violinists in the world do I even have a chance. Now on the computer side of things, I can honestly say I am one of the most nerdiest(computer knowledge wise) kids in my school. I am currently building a computer, making viruses, generating special effects and making movies, and experimenting with many different types of computers in my free time besides violin. I believe that if I go to school for this in the future I might have a high chance of succeeding in what ever computer field I enter into. But in the end I would still love to be playing my violin with an or orchestra or even a small band for that matter, than being cooked up behind a desk and instructed to make excell spreadsheets all day. All in all I believe that the computer path is a much more stable one but yet the music path is so much more enjoyable. Also I wish to make around 100 grand a year, which of these career choices do you think is more possible?

does my "details" column answer this Question??Write detailed specifications for buying a good computer? A computer, also called a processor, is an electronic device designed to accept data, perform prescribed mathematical and logical operations at high speed, and display the results of these operations. The main job of a computer is to process data we put in, then either store it or release it as an output for us. There are three main components of a computer; Hardware, which is the associated physical equipment directly involved in the performance of data-processing or communications functions, Software, which are the programs used to direct the operation of a computer, as well as documentation and Users, who are people that use the software on a computer for various tasks according to their needs. There are various types of computers, but when one wants to buy a computer for individual use, they should buy a Personal computer (PC). A personal computer is a small computer that can be used independently by an individual user for word-processing, games, e-mail or storage of information. These computers are the kind for everyday use that can be set on a desk, they are very popular. Personal computers range in prices depending on storage and processing abilities and speed. The major components of a PC are: -system unit (physical apparatus) which consist of the desktop (screen) and the tower (that contains the CPU, RAM, power supply, hard disks and all the slots for connecting all the other components). - A series of input and output devices and peripherals. Every pc has a central processing unit (CPU). A CPU is a chip called a microprocessor that’s job is to perform computer processing done by following the instructions of the software or programs to process data and produce information. Every PC has at least one CPU located on the motherboard, which connects all the parts of the computer together. A CPU is also divided into more main parts; ALU, registers or immediate access memory and Control unit. The Control unit directs electronic signals between the main memory and the input and output devices. Input devices allow one to put information into the computer. Some of the many input devices needed for a good computer are a keyboard, Mouse (either laser or ball), a trackball, a touchpad, a touch screen, a light pen, a scanner, a joystick, a microphone, disk drives (including CD-ROMs, DVD-ROMs, floppy disk), a Digital camera and a Video camera. Output devices allow you to view information on your PC or extract information from your PC. Some of the most important products needed in order to be able to see things on your computer screen to the best of your ability are VDU (video display units, or monitors). These monitors allow the work being done on the computer to be displayed, as well as the results of processing, displaying texts, graphics and image forms. The best type of monitor for your personal computer is a flat screen, or flat panel display. This type of monitor is most popular these days. The characteristics of these monitors are color, size and resolution. The more colors it has the better the clarity of the images on your PC will be. The bigger your screen is, the better you will be able to do your work (most screens currently are about 17’’ to 21’’). The higher the resolution, the better quality and clarity of the display or screen will be. The LED Displays (light emitting diodes) is the light that turns on when you press the button to start the computer, this feature is also important in figuring out when there is a problem; the light will trigger a specific flicker showing the presence of an error. Another output device important for a good home computer is a printer. The kinds of printers vary, but the best kind of printer for a personal computer is the colored laser printer. This printer, though expensive, can produce a variety of images and texts. Speakers (or headphones) are another feature that is available for a PC in order for the user to be able to hear sounds. Yet another feature is the removable media devices used to transfer data or documents onto other devices. Examples of these devices are CD-writers, DVD-writers or USB- flash memory cards. Of the devices that are considered both input and output devices are modems and speech synthesizers. Modems are important for access to the internet, the World Wide Web, which connects users to people from all over the world. Each of these devices (both input and output) will allow you to use your personal computer to the best of its ability.
