Hey guys, i have one desktop that doesn't read cd's (the cd drive open but dont recognize any cd), doesn't have sound (no matter what i do he just can't produce any kind of sound) and i can't get access to the internet with him. Basically, i can't do nothing with him. No sound, no internet, no cd's. Today i went to a pc store just for them to see what's going on with the pc and they told me it's the hard drive and asked me 120 euros to fix it. Well, obviously i will not fix the pc there, cause the price is too high for an hard drive, and essentially cause i don't think the hard drive is the problem(i think they are cheating me). It is possible that the hard drive is causing all of this problems ? I would go for the motherboard, for me it was the logical problem since it's the only place where all those components are plugged in ( network adaptor, sound adaptor and cd drive). Can someone tell me what you think is the main problem ? Thanks

So the computer does not boot up at all? It sounds like your motherboard drivers are not installed to me. What is the make and model of motherboard? You may have to download the drivers onto a flash drive using a friends internet. Then install the drivers from the flash drive instead of the CD/DVD drive. This would explain why the other stuff don't work, but the CD/DVD drive should just use a generic driver that is allready a part of windows. Check to make sure the power and the Sata connector to the motherboard is hooked up properly to your CD/DVD drive.
